Yesterdays blog I received some good information about another well bonded Eagle Pair at WestEnd/Two Harbors. Here is a link to their history. They had a situation some what like ours with Ozzie and Harriet . When you have time please read it. TY   http://www.hancockwildlife.org/forum/viewtopic.php?topic=420792#420792
I arrived at the nest my usual time and get the camera set up. I find Harriet in the nest tree by herself. I figured PB/FV is in the west pasture treeline again this morning. Harriet was doing her morning preening and a couple of vocals. I guess PB/FV decided to sleep in this morning he doesn't arrive at the nest until 6:44am. He lands on the branch to the right of Harriet but doesn't stay there to long before flying to the attic branch. A little bit of preening by both and a few more vocals from Harriet. A Hawk stops by the right pond tree, vocalizes then leaves. Harriet watches the Hawk for a bit. PB/FV leaves 7:08 am heading SSW again this morning. Harriet tracks PB then leaves at 7;12 am off towards the same direction as she last saw PB/FV ...SSW . They must have a really great spot by the river that they hang out at. I wish I could go too.  I stayed until 8:00 am then left for home. Stopped by the Publix pond just to check and see if anyone was there nope. Didn't even see the Gator. No one on the pole from Sable Spring either. It's a beautiful morning. No rain and lots of sunshine. I can't blame them for leaving. I'd be by some water and lots more shade too if I could. Still no sighting of Ozzie.  Be safe Ozzie, Harriet and PB/FV. Ozzie ,I'll see you when your ready to come home.
