M15 and F23 welcomed Egg 1, laid on 11/24/23 at 5:54 pm., and Egg 2, laid on 11/27/23 at 1:44 pm. F23 is a new partner for M15, and there was no certainty for these events to happen. The realization is here for this Family, and miracles are in the making.
M15 created a beautiful, sturdy nest to entice F23 to join him in his quest for offspring. F23 grew in her attachment to M15 and his territory. They engaged in all the courtship rituals and mating behaviors. He showered her with attention and many food gifts. M15 is a persuasive and determined Male Eagle, and he won the favor of F23.
M15 and F23 begin the next part of their journey over the coming days. They both participate in the arduous job of protecting and caring for their tender cargo. M15 stays close in the overnight hours, standing guard as F23 lay incubating. He visits the nest and manages to get a turn to tend to the Eggs. He takes an amazingly active role in his Eagle Family dynamics. M15 and F23 will continue the legacy of life in this magical nest. Nest Notes by dadsjazz
