M15 and F23 have carefully and consistently kept their treasures safe and secure. Incubation appears to be a boring time for them as they spend hours in the nest. All the while, many changes are going on right under their beaks. The time frame is about halfway to when a new generation of offspring will enter the world.
M15 and F23 seamlessly execute nest changes. Their time is divided between rolling the Eggs and repositioning them for optimum warmth. They watch the territory and vocalize a warning to any possible intruders. Several Sub-Adult Eagles entered the area and were quickly escorted away. M15 has been available overnight to take an incubating shift and watch over his precious family.
M15 and F23 have excelled in their duties and will soon realize the reward of their diligence. Hopefully, new life with its peeps and cheeps will be joyfully heard in the area. M15 and F23 will quickly assume their new roles as Dad and Momma. Nest Notes by dadsjazz.
