A wonderful pair of eagles, who raise 3 eaglets to the point of fledglings. A beautiful story of dedication courage, strength, stamina, and the awesomeness of Nature as Created by the Creator!
Wow! I never would have guessed that the nest would have to be defended by others. I assume it was Belle that was in it by herself? After the attack, did Liberty go after the intruder? Is this common for a lone eagle to try to get into another nest? Looking for eggs or a mate? Kathi F
Actually when I saw this happening Belle was flying in. I thought wow I am just in time to watch them both land. What I quickly discovered was that she was being followed/pursued. I had hit the record earlier so that's how I managed to get it. Not sure if it was another eagle, it does have good size talons. OR it could be 1 of the 3 young who fledged last year.....either way it is NOT welcome in the nest, and was quickly driven away. Yes Liberty was right there within a few seconds too. Actually he brought in a fish which was not eaten or touched for another 5 minutes or so. They they returned to eating and chowing and working on the nest.
