M15 began the official start of Nesting Season 12 with a flurry of activity, bringing sticks and materials to the nest. He placed the items purposefully, then laid the nest bowl to try it out. M15’s constant Female companion, F23, has now taken more of an interest in adding her touches to the nest. She brought sticks, nesting, and a few pine boughs. Her F23 moniker symbolizes Female and her arrival in 2023, much like M15, Male who appeared in Harriet’s life in 2015.
M15 and F23 are in a new and sensitive time. M15 has proven himself as a loyal mate and exceptional Eagle Dad. To date, F23 seems more comfortable and willing to learn her role, but much is unknown about her. M15 and F23 are better at teamwork as their bond progresses.
M15 is on a mission as he prepares the homestead, and the first week of Nesting Season looks promising. M15’s determination and cooperation by F23 may see them accomplish the goal of bringing new life into the pasture. All hope is for a successful Season. Nest Notes by dadsjazz
