M15 successfully raised E21 and E22 after losing his beloved mate and Eagle Mom, Harriet. M15 took time to renew and refresh and found a constant Female companion. Their courtship gave promise that M15 would have a mate. He showered her with attention and food gifts. She took time to warm up to this new arrangement. The Female was stepping into a role that required the highest standards. She became F23 and Momma to a new generation. Although one egg sorrowfully did not hatch, E23 became a joyous and uplifting presence in the nest and territory. F23 used her best instincts to nurture her precious E23.
M15 and F23 have become a bonded pair as they raised E23 together. F23 proved to be an exceptional Momma to E23. She protected E23 and passed on the lessons she learned in her life. The future looks bright for M15 and F23’s continued closeness. Hope is for their progress and success through the seasons, bringing new life into the world. Nest Notes by dadsjazz.
