A rainy September day brought more activity to the SWFL eagle nest as M15 moved sticks and the new female spent time on the veranda.
Shadow and Kaydee began the day with chortles and a familiar little routine. Hours later, a red-tailed hawk came straight at Shadow twice.
After some time out of camera view had eagle watchers worried, Kaydee returned to Big Bear and quickly found Shadow. What happened next on Lookout Snag brought some much-needed smiles.
Shadow and Kaydee shared their most playful Big Bear nest visit yet, complete with beakies, feather nibbles, a duet and one stick Shadow simply had to put back.
Kaydee came to the Big Bear nest with sticks on her mind. After winning a battle with one stubborn branch, she found Shadow and made an even bolder move.
