March 16
F23 and M15 have been spending quite a bit of time at nest tree doing nest orations an d just perching but
today an intruder spent quite a bit of time in nest area and F23 had ot kick it out of tree. both M15 and F23 defended . Hopefully it stays away
although it was so sad that their 2 young perished to Avian flu , we that watch here, are so grateful that our adults pulled through. We were worried for a few weeks, but M15 got better and his eyes are great( well he does have allergies so right eye is closed at times) F23 looks great also and for awhile there we thought they may have a second clutch. but I am glad they did no t. they need the time to fully recover.
I will be back after supper to post pictures
from today
posted on their site, this evening
