@ Bea

The date for the first egg laid on the front page needs to be corrected (Nov 12 instead of Nov 11)

Thanks for eggie-updates & pics

17.11.

There was quite an event - a stranger on the nest tree. Harriet was alone, protecting her precious eggs!

The stranger

Those piercing eyes..



one doesn't want to get in his way...



16:45
M15 returning from the pond with a fish; stranger on the nest tree. M15 immediately started chasing the intruder



All three eagles chased each other until 17:33. M15 locked talons with the intruder in the air. Good that all ended well!

Thanks, Sunshine for great cam shots! What a drama around again!

I think every year that it is pity, that they don't ring eaglets in Florida - it would be interesting to know whether the intruders are previous eaglets that show up "at home" or some others. Not only for me, but also for research of the eagles' territorial lives ...

Hello Owlie and everyone!
Now we at least have a few good close-ups to help identify the intruder if he returns again..
