nice nest bowl
Greetings from Iowa. She has really got her egg low in the nest bole. Hope it keeps warm while she is gone. While I am hopeful this works out … I feel guarded. She might have a better chance if this one and done clutch. Feeding herself and two hungry eaglets would be very hard. Her focus now is surviving so not too interested in bonding with UM. I have always wondered how close the food sources are at the North nest. I know there is a creek nearby and the fields should have plenty of critters. I wish I… Read more »
Hi Judy
the stream is close to the nest.
JUST MAYBE, some locals could put some fish around the base of the tree. Just maybe. Then she could leave nest andbe back quickly.
Message from RRP…very interesting regarding UM
Hi Blossem !😀 Interesting theory. It’s a shame about the DNF as it leaves her alone without any help. Thank you 🧡
Hello Stasia :) well maybe UM learns fast and will surprise us lol
If I don’t want to incubate, let him provide the food.
if she hasnt give him pheromones ,he will never learn
yes…
Witam Stasia.
Witaj Carole ! Milego dnia przyjacielu 🧡
If you followed the OG Mom from Decorah she raised 3 babies to fledge after Dad disappeared. So one egg for our experienced Mom shouldn’t be a problem.
It’s been a few days now and I’m doing finde, so it’ll get better from now on…
I read that on FB. I don’t have much hope for this working out. No support at all. She has to eat and bathroom which leaves the egg alone and vulnerable.
I dont either…..she does have to eat …bless her ♥
💓
Thanks Blossem
covered up her egg
forgot pic
Not happy
did you see UM trying to roll the egg? very very carefully..you can see he isnt an expierenced eagle..but he does try and he stayed in the tree overnight…
💙
Has the UM or Mr. North come in to help?
NO
No
😟
