I haven't kept track but from the posts, Ozzie looks different from paramour.

Sounds like Harriet dumped Ozzie. She might of. There were sightings of him at the nest on the nineteenth, but it seems another male may have Harriet's Eagle claw right now A guy cannot disappear for seven months without so much as a verbal call out to her, and not think he was not replaced in the day and age. As long as he is back and healthy, I would think he might be able to win her back.

Well, Ozzie is back in the hospital. Word is he got in a fight in North Fort Myers with the other male eagle, and he was injured. He is back at Crow, but I have not seen any official postings. Our friends in North Fort Myers said it was in their paper. It was also thought the other bird was also injured.
Soooooo, Harriet is alone again with nesting season here......................

Hope Ozzie gets back on his claws and flight feathers soon. Harriet might start looking again. Have they found the other male eagle yet?
I watch the eagle cam on the channel islands just off So Calif. Very interesting.

I mean I'm glad he's being taken care of but still. I have read they will fight to their death in some cases. Please keep posting updates here if you don't mind. I'm hesitant to go to the webcam when it's up. Afraid of what I might see.

That's sad news. I take it he was fighting with "paramour." Hope they both heal quickly.

Ozzie has a couple of broken talons.
CROW - Clinic for the Rehabilitation of Wildlife, Inc.
They say he is progressing well. Harriet was chasing a juvenile Eagle from the nest tree today, so she must realize he is somewhere.

Somebody needs to invent artificial talons quick (if that hasn't been done already). Poor, ol' Ozzie seems to be the bad luck eagle. Glad to hear he's doing well with treatment, but it breaks my heart to think he has to go through all this again.

Well, life goes on in the pines. The cameras have been activated for this season if anyone is interested. They estimate Ozzie was in his twenties, so he had a great lifespan. Harriet has been around the nest with another adult male, and they are going through a bonding period. Nest is still pretty much empty, and she does work a little bit on housekeeping procedures. Looks like they have some better camera angles than last year. I think the eaglets paid too much attention to the camera as they got older, so they moved the nest camera up, and have a secondary camera set on a branch that the parents liked to sit on, so the view is very good this year.

Harriet evidently has picked up M15 as a mate. They have been doing some early nest repairs. They also have been doing a mating bonding courtship, but so far, M15 seems a little new to this bonding process. He brought Harriet a fish to the nest today. For any newcomers, here is the website, if you want to view them. Chatroom is only open once in a while, and will remain that way until the Eagles are very active in the nest area. www.dickpritchettrealestate.com/eagle-feed.html

So for months I have been trying to get a decent pic of the eagle pair that live on the river here. Every time I get close enough one or both fly away. Today I heard lots of talking.Went to get the camera to try again and only saw one. Took a couple pics of him because he stayed and this is what I found when I downloaded the pics. Sneaky!

Update Harriet and M-15 have been nesting, and Harriet laid one egg on December 19th, and a second one yesterday. I was concerned they would not produce any eggs this year, as it is about one month behind last year's egg laying times. I will probably be changing the thread title to reflect Harriet's new mate soon. He does not have a personal name, and calling him just M-15 seems sort of too impersonal to me Here is the link to the live feed in North Fort Myers. www.dickpritchettrealestate.com/eagle-feed.html

Just an update on Harriet and her new partner. They are one day and a few hours from the first egg hatching. They keep a running time clock in the upper right corner for each egg in the nest. www.dickpritchettrealestate.com/eagle-feed.html

I eagle watch the channel islands by So Calif. The birds are doing 'nestorations' now and getting ready for their new families.

We have a new Eaglet this morning. M 15 was on the nest when the chick finally pecked itself free.

When first seen, it almost looked like a drowned mouse. Feathers were all wet and ruffled. After drying out, looks nice and fluffy! Waiting on the second egg.

They have videos up now of the eaglets being fed. They're cute little critters.

They have videos up now of the eaglets being fed. They're cute little critters. Yes, the bobble heads are very active at times. The bonking gets a little harry, but there is plenty of food this year. M15 has been an excellent provider, and the number of feedings every day has been huge this year. The chicks are about a month younger than previous broods when looking at the calendar. Harriet's chicks are hatched late in the calendar year, usually late December. These chicks will fledge a month later than normal and will face some serious heat issues temp wisw in the nest before flying.

Right now the eaglets are dining on leftover squirrel and waiting, with mom, for dad to bring home the fish. There was some pretty cute "bonking" goin' down a few minutes ago.

Dad has finally returned to the nest. He apparently brought dinner but he's standing in front of it so I can't see what he brought. The eaglets' crops so full they look like they swallowed bowling balls!
