Harriet and Ozzie shared a few intimate moments this Sunday morning as they continue to strengthen their bond to each other. They also share in their dedication to their young E’s who are growing stronger day by day. Ozzie and Harriet work together to keep up nest renovations as each brought materials today. The “crib” rails are getting a bit higher as the nest bowl is seeming to disappear from E3 and E4 scooting around the nest with their little awkward waddle.  Mom provided shade for the sweet napping E’s… Read More »A Peaceful Sunday- Nest Notes, Photos & Videos for Jan 12.

Ozzie on Call- Nest Notes, Photos & Videos for Jan 11

In the early morning hours Harriet and Ozzie were perched in the upper branches of the nest tree vocalizing and watching over their sleeping baby E’s. Mom arrived for breakfast feeding and was eagerly greeted by the hungry E’s with their peep, peep, peeping. E4 is becoming skilled at grabbing a share of the meals by learning when to make its move. Louder and hungrier E4 is good at getting the first bites. Both are learning great lessons on the way to becoming big E’s. Mom and Dad were consistent… Read More »Ozzie on Call- Nest Notes, Photos & Videos for Jan 11

The term “growing by leaps and bounds” gets a new meaning regarding the Little E’s. They are eating very well and growing right before our eyes. They are beginning to get their thermal down and their large feet are starting to look funny in comparison to their bodies.  Ozzie and Harriet brought fish and prey to the nest for the numerous feedings of the E’s.

Warmer drier weather arrived overnight and Mom gave the sweet little E’s an early breakfast. Their hunger and need to be fed is growing along with them. Ozzie delivered what looked to be a wing from another bird which may have been from a road kill. We have observed many types of food brought to the nest, some recognizable and some not.

It appeared that the fireworks of the celebrations in the area were bothering them. Ozzie and Harriet became more on guard, vocalized often and focused in the nest tree for several hours after the noise subsided. Additional thoughts were that an owl was perched in the nest tree. Upon later review it was found that another eagle was perched on a branch higher in… Read More »Little E’s Big Adventure- Nest Notes, Videos & Photos for Jan 1
