Thanks, Rita, yes, M15 had a very nice non-verbal dialogue with the muscovy duck on 29 November.

M15 meets his friend - muscovy duck again
In reality though, it is barely a friendship. On 29 Nov the muscovy duck apparently showed signs of not being happy with M's presence; it swam towards his direction and around, then stepped out and stood close nearby. Eventually, M15 took at it and chased the muscovy duck back into the water.
Also this encounter started with the duck waving it's wings vigorously in front of M15, as if to show off and show "just get going, my friend!"

Harriet drying herself after a bath in the pond. A very good view of her brood patch - the bare skin area on her breast with which she warms the eggs.

Just for the interest - this is what happens when the Bald eagle's appetite is bigger than it's stomach..

Hatch counter (and later fledge counter) is on:
https://www.swfleaglecam.com/eagle-feed.html
In some few days (just now 4 days) we can await hatching.
I hope both two eggs will hatch and the chicks will fledge - the geat parents Harriet and M15 deserve it
