SWFL eagles M15 goes to the Stick Depot
SWFL Harriet and M15 are perched at the nest tree when M15 takes off to the stick pile to find the perfect stick for their nest, he then adds fluff and tests out the nest bowl.   Looks good!

Dec 17 dawn
She isnt laying on the egg
Thats normal for falcons but not eagles

Probably a lot easier to perform the delayed incubation in Florida and stay off the eggs for a longer period of time. It's amazing how we always worry about the adults incubating, especially when we see the eggs exposed in freezing weather. Like Bob always said "trust the eagles", they know what to do better than we do. Hoping to see a second egg from Harriet soon.

SWFL
As you probably already know, Harriet was knocked off the branch this morning by an Owl around 545AM.  Harriet & M15 worked together very well to get through this.  Harriet seemed ok today! Harriet has escorted a couple intruders & juvies out of the area the past couple of days. 
The eggs today


Today Harriet to the nest, checks eggs and incubating.

SWFL Eagles ~ Harriet Gets Hit By An Owl! She Chases It Around The Pasture - Alarm Vocals! https://youtu.be/jLz36_suTx0via ladyhawk
Harriet is on the nest preening when she hears or sees something and vocalizes. M drops right down to the nest to be with her. After a couple of minutes, Harriet goes up to the attic with more vocals and M takes over incubation. A few minutes later, an owl will hit Harriet and knock her off the outer attic. She chases it around the pasture and then will return to the nest with loud vocals as she stands next to M for several minutes protecting the eggs. Finally she foots M and he gets up and she takes over incubation till it gets light outside.
