| Good Morning |
Harriet moves to the porch branch at 6:11 am then into the nest. PB joins her a minute later. Nest rebuilding and refurbishing begins.. Both are aerating the nest then PB goes up to the attic branch ,Harriet is in the nest . I did not see PB leave , but did see him back in the nest again around 6:32 am. Maybe he was laying down again...LOL .. PB was sitting so close behind Harriet it looked like just one of them was there. Now this is from the ground looking up into the tree for me not a cam view. Harriet leaves the nest for the west pasteur tree's looking for a stick or something. Yep a stick . Back she comes with a small stick. Both are trying to place the stick and of course you know what happens then. Harriet is the boss and PB just needs to let her place it . Harriet moves some moss around and the pine. PB looks to be sitting by the spike branch, Harriet is zipping her tail feathers. I dont know what PB did but Harriet really lets him have it. PB gets around her and moves a stick. I wish they would quite changing places..LOL Now Harriet is by the spike branch, she flies off the nest heads to a pine tree in the west pasture near the driveway, well it's not really that close.
From here she goes to the tree line and from tree to another tree looking for the right branch. Finally finds one and back she comes to the nest. Actually it looks like a small clump of something.Oh well .
A little more nestorations then Harriet flies up to the attic branch. PB still in the nest. 6:57 a Harriet heads for the Publix pond area with crows in tow . Shes not there long. Harriet went and got her a nice big stick from Ozzie lumberyard. I'm just amazed that she knows where he has been getting the big sticks from. All the times I watched them and I thought Harriet wasn't paying any attention . I should have known better. I hope PB was watching also. He needs to learn all of this.
PB ducks out of the way as Harriet comes in with the stick. Harriet gets it placed where she wants it. This is such a switch from Ozzie and Harriet working on the nest. Like I said before ,Ozzie did most of the work and Harriet watched or brought in the fluff and maybe a stick or two. PB really needs to step up his game on this. With that said, PB leaves the nest headed towards the pond trees I think. From where I was standing by now , there's a big tree in my way..lol I finally see PB headed to the west pasture followed by a few crows. Wow they are really getting him. PB flies to the fallen tree where he was yesterday.
7:00 am Harriet moves to the veranda then leaves headed to the Publix pond area then past that. I lost sight of her. PB follows around 7:05 am with crows close behind him. I looked for them on the Norfolk pine before I left, they weren't there . They weren't at Bob's either as I went past his place. So maybe they did go to the river this time , who knows.
Harriet is such a great Eagle. Not only did she teach E 6 all she could before he left, she is now teaching PB the things an Adult needs to know. I'm sure he has seen it with his own parents but that was so long ago. They say Eagles are great nest builders but yet we see how one is teaching the other. The instinct is there but PB needs a little more motivation, a helping hand, a push and a shove...LOL Some day PB will make a great mate for another Female Eagle .
I wanted to share this from Tomp our Morning Mod from chat Thank You Tomp Have a great summer .
