VISITOR AGAIN
Nov 18, 2023
I believe this visitor is A1 - my favorite.   :)
he spent the night Nov 17-18
and I suspect he's Gabby's favorite.
I could be wrong - of course.

Whose egg will she lay?
Will we know?

A1 spent the night
He mated with Gabby.
He leaves when V flies in
.

Its about time for an egg.  CHOOSE girl!

Is V more of a brother to Gabby?
Will she lay an egg for each of them?


Poor A1 has such ughly feet..

Gabby and Beau
December 23, 2023
I never liked V3, felt he is -  retarded.
Gabby laid an egg - and Beau BURIED it!
   >:(
Nadia on bcaw posted below.

It appears V3 has been given a name...and it is Beau.
Beua buried the egg.

I have felt from day one that this male was off with his laryngitis, absences from the nest site that allowed other males in, and difficulties mating. I do not believe this is due to his immaturity, as suggested by others off this site. He has been at this nest for over a year. He is no longer immature. Mating should be instinctive. He finally did the deed in the nest, but with difficulty.

Nest building has not been in earnest by him. A stick here and there and some fluff, but not much in my mind. To me, there is just something off about this male. Not sure why he buried the egg, unless his hormones have not kicked in and he is not in sync with her.  Perhaps his immature behavior is a developmental issue. I feel for Gabby. This may be her 2nd year without a family.

I peeked in - egg alone - no eagle in sight.
Gonna write an article:  The eagle & the short bus.

Beau was perched in the tree a good part of the day today and made no effort to incubate during the stretches of time that Gabby left him in charge of the nest and egg. He didn't even give it a glance. Hmmm.

Jan. 22, 2024 note from bev on bcaw
Gabby has not been seen since she left nest just after 12 pm yesterday.

Beau incubated for about 30 minutes just after 4 pm.
He was on nest branch for an hour this morning ,
