There has been a lot of questions regarding the status of her injured talon and hunting/fishing ability that I would like to address. This is a healthy and good sized female eagle who sustained some type of injury to her right talon recently. This injury is healing and it has not impacted her ability to hunt or fish successfully for herself. There were concerns she was starving and that was why she was following M15 to the nest and trying to steal his food. The female intruder caught a good size fish today and flew with it to the upper branch in the nest tree and then flew off with it to eat. The reason she is following M15 back to the nest is all about the food. Eagles are opportunistic hunters and it is sometimes easier to try and steal food than to catch it themselves. It is not that she was so injured that could not hunt for herself, she saw an opportunity to try and take food from a single male who was constantly bringing in food for his eaglets. As for her injury, if the nail bed is not seriously injured, even if the talon falls off it should grow back. Eagles have been able to live long lives with missing talons. M15 is not interested in her as a potential mate and his sole focus is in providing and protecting his eaglets. He tolerates her presence at times when he does not perceive a threat and then at other times, he simply chases her off. Hopefully M15 will be able to continue to balance all these extraordinary responsibilities that have befallen him since Harriet went missing. He certainly has done an outstanding job so far! ♥
Thank you for explaining all of this. One, it's good to know that she isn't starving and second, it is good to share that this behavior does not make an eagle bad. That they just have certain behaviors that are sometimes hard for us humans to fully understand.
Thank you so much for this insight, Lady Hawk. It needed to be said. And thank you for all that you give us every day in the way of these collections and summaries. I don’t know how you possibly manage, given the amount of time it clearly takes to review everything and then pull it together. And to know you also monitor other wildlife is kind of amazing. Anyway, thank you. 💜
Well done, M15 and E22! I have no doubt little E22 is going to be a survivor. He took on an eagle much larger than him and prevailed! E21 & E22 will be more than prepared to take on the world thanks to Superdad M15! Thank you, Lady Hawk!
Hi Shirley oh I agree about E22 ♥ Definitely going to be a strong survivor when all is said and done! E21 has also learned a lot of important lessons recently too and submission is not one of the characteristics that E21 ever experienced until now! Super Dad M15 is our hero!!!! ♥
I just wanted to stand up and cheer for M15 and the eaglets! I noticed that at one point he started eating the fish himself so that she wouldn't target the eaglets, and then he felt confident enough to start feeding them. E22 showcased his newly emerging cunning and bravery... yes indeed, that is one scrappy and special lil guy! E21 seems to be recognizing his younger sibling's growing confidence. (I secretly think they'll become great friends one day soon ;) And M15 held the fort beautifully.... he wasn't going to buckle to this intruder.... he kept his focus on the very important task at hand. His confidence in the face of this very weird situation is growing by the day, and he's handling everything beautifully! ❤
M15 was definitely telling her off! After watching this three times, I actually think she was trying to get the Eaglets to move to see if they had any food under them! It also looked like she considered trying to take that food from M15 for a few seconds. She was definitely asking for a bite! Didn't work. M knows exactly what his priorities are!
Despite everything, M is doing fantastic, the E's look healthy and getting bigger each day and closer to fledgling everyday that passes. It will be a challenge I'm sure but I'm going to be optimistic about them. Thank you for the updates Lady Hawk 🙏
Yes!! Being optimistic is the best thing. I know it helps me feel a lot better, and I trust that things will be we'll for our precious family. M15 is doing so well. He is so smart and loves his babies 💙🙏🦅🕊
It almost seemed like M15 prioritized feeding the eaglets over chasing the intruder off the nest. And, wow, did E22 grab those bites quickly. I watched this live and my heart stopped each time she kicked one of them. Fortunately, she finally decided she wasn't going to get any and flew off. I wonder how long it will take her talon to heal enough that she can hunt for herself.
Dear Lady Hawk ♥️ So proud of our E22! Great Job! 👍 M15 is so smart in not chasing her off, his E's could have been hurt. Very Smart! God Bless Him and both E's. Keep all of them Safe. SED 😴, Thoughts, Prayers and Many, Many Hugs to you, my dearest of friends 💖💖💖
She is getting much bolder. I fear for the E's as she gets angrier every time she jumps in the nest. Clearly, she no longer fears or respects M as she stands in the nest and he only screams at her. She is demanding food and hurting the E's right in front of him. She will eventually try to get rid of the "competition". It is nature and it can be cruel but in this case, I wish something could be done to help this small family of 3 that is trying so hard to survive.
I really appreciate your explanation of the videos you post. I watched this live, and for some reason did not even realize that E 22 was mantling. I was very upset at first watching all this play out. I am beginning to realize just how wise M15 is. I wondered why he did not attack the intruder but after watching this, I realize he probably thought it was safer for the eaglets if he just kept an eye on her, and went about his business of feeding them.

This season is one for the books! My goodness it is dramatic every day it seems. Mr. M and the babies have faced so many challenges and are doing so well. These babies are going to be some tough eagles. I pray God keeps them all safe.
It’s hard not to put a human spin on what we see in the nest, but all in all, the pushy visitor hasn’t been overly aggressive in her attempts to grab a meal from M15’s table. Even when she foots the eaglets, it’s more dominant than anything else but they don’t yield to it. If she were starving, I believe we’d see a much different display. That said, she is still a danger to the eaglets, her adult size and strength could push them off the nest. I sure wish I spoke Eagle though because she and M15 have some serious conversations. M15 is picking his battles and so far his judgment of the situation has not led to a violent encounter. I pray that continues and that M15 can get these precious eaglets to fledge. Each of the incursions into the nest and the way our heroic M15 is handling them are great life lessons for the eaglets. Harriet would be very proud of her eaglets.💔
Yes! About the conversation, 🤔 I was wondering what it was all about?!!! "Please stop ✋️ pushing my kids, I'm too tired. My wife disappeared and you all over the place!" Well, I'm just trying to help you watching 👀 your kids when you're not here! Ok? Also, I watch you every night while you're asleep 😴 🥰😍
E22 is a very feisty little eaglet - great to see him protect his dinner. The intruder is obviously getting food somewhere - she’s still able to fly and doesn’t look noticeably weak.
Thank God no tussle on the nest this time! Well done M15! Keep up your strength! E22 is such a quick learner! I swear the snatch and and grabs are getting quicker! Thanks Lady Hawk for keeping us posted and for another precious video! Take care🌷💞🌺🫂💙✝️💟
Hi Debi you are very welcome!! E22 is the snatch and grab gold star learner!!! ⭐⭐M15 is doing such an amazing job!!! Take care and have a great evening! ♥
I don't comment but have been watching more closely, been following this nest since 2019, M15 has been wonderful. I do miss Queen Harriet, I pray for a great fledge for these E's! Thank you very much Lady Hawk 💜🙏🦅
E22 mantles it was amazing. She is so close and kicks both E’s. They are so smart now and know to keep their heads down. Dad handled it so well. No one is goi g to mess with his and Harriet’s eaglets. God keep our eagle family of three safe. When they are fledged then maybe they can be a pair it not until then. TY LH. Some anxious moments for sure. 🥰❤️🦅🦅🦅👍
M15 the heroe. This was a great video Lady Hawk. M15 gave his warnings and kept on feeding his kids. E22 it’s learning so much from all this. Keep on praying that this nest it’s successful till the end. Thanks so much 😊
Lady Hawk I just tuned in and thank you so much for the summary of that particular event. You are so knowledgeable and put everyone at ease with your comments. Thank you for the great education on these amazing Eagles along with your insight, please take care of yourself be healthy we all need you. You are an angel.😇 love to you for all you do.🙏🏻😘❣️ From California
Yes indeed, M15 is a hero to his eaglets and is doing an outstanding job feeding and protecting them! I too thought she might be starving and couldn't hunt for herself but changed my mind today when I saw her with the fish she had caught. It's so upsetting watching those poor little ones getting kicked around. So proud of E22, so brave mantling it's fish next to that big intruder. I was so afraid the intruder would try and snatch the fish away and hurt E22. These little ones are certainly having to learn some hard lessons quickly, maybe and hopefully to their advantage. Mama wherever you're at I know you're so proud of your special little family! Prayers for M15, E21, E22 and precious Harriet. Thank you Lady Hawk for the updates they are greatly appreciated. 💜🙏
That was great watching E22 mantle his food from that annoying female intruder! Dad did a great job feeding a fast meal. That intruder needs to fi d another nest to go too!
Thank you so much for sharing this amazing drama unfolding. Honestly, I get so anxious watching that I fits read your summary to see whether everybody is ok. I can’t thank you enough. We all are part of a family here.
I don't know what to expect with all the drama here, but do know that M15 is taking great care of his 2 eaglets and both of them seem to be doing alright. The intruder is balsy in that she is barging in insistently yet M15 seems to know she won't harm the eaglets other than a kick here and there. She's really annoying to say the least. Pushy and not very nice.
I don't think that the eagle with the injury on the foot means any harm to the E's. It looks like she's begging for help and food. If it wasn't the case she would have killed the E's already. She had many chances and she didn't even with M -15 in the nest. She had the upper hand.
Thank you Lady Hawk. M15 is so smart. He was able to avoid a fight in the nest that could have been disastrous for the E's, and save his strength. E22 is so smart and fast!! He's got her number. Continued prayers going up. Blessings to everyone on this feed 🙏💙🦅🕊 Thank you again, I have been waiting all day for a video and your narrative🪻🌷💝🦅🕊
If a bald eagle is visibly sick and on the ground, unable to fly, then perhaps CROW would intervene. If an eagle is able to fly, then they’ll leave her be. Wishing you a peaceful night! God Bless! Denise from MA
Great job,M you are a great Dad. I am so sorry this is so tough. I know Harriet would not have wanted that. But, always great job Dad! @ Lady Hawk, thank you.
I'm glad the E's are gobbling food quickly as Dad feeds them as she is after the food. I'm also glad M15 is feeding the E's fast and then cleaning up the meal himself as much as possible. I was impressed with E22 mantleing to protect the bite it got. I did look long at the intruders' injury. My thought was that it might be healed enough for her to hunt. I am glad she is able and will hunt. She is obviously trying to take the easy way and steal food. In the past, I've seen videos showing huge eagle fights over stealing food at salmon runs. Of course, those are not a nesting situation. Lady Hawk, your explanation has really made the behavior we are seeing much clearer. I'm learning a lot more. Where I live the locations where I see Bald Eagles, they are sitting in trees along the Columbia River watching for fish in the river. It is as I drive home. There is no space to pull over, and just watch along that high traffic road.
Although I've grieved for Harriet, I must say that this magnificent fight for survival from single dad M and his two vulnerable eaglets is a wonderful thing to witness.
She's hurt and hungry. All she wants is food. She's not interested in harming the eaglets. She has plenty of opportunities to do whatever she wanted. Yes, she kicked the eaglets and that's not a good thing (in a way) cause it looks more like "bonking them" to stay put. Her talon is destroyed 😔 and looks broken 💔. I am so sorry for all of them 😔 including the beautiful intruder 😰 which it looks like she can't hunt. I remember the season the Harriet & Ozzy Now M15 & Intruder.
Did you read Lady Hawks description above?. The intruder is not starving, and was observed today hunting and caught her OWN fish. Eagles are opportunistic hunters. She sees an easy meal or free food from a one parent nest and is taking advantage knowing M is bringing fish and prey all day to feed tye eaglets and easy meals. She is a threat if there was a nothrr fight in the nest don't you think M15 or the babies can be seriously injured or accidently fallen out of the nest. What if M15 is seriously injured by a much bigger feamale???
@Blondie22 Yes, I saw the post. Also, today I saw her eating in a branch all by herself! (Eagles don't share except with their mate and their eaglets) Is the wildlife of the Eagles world 🌎 they are raptors by nature. There is a lot of Eagles nest disturbance nowadays due to the hurricane 🌀. Harriet and Ozzy, her first mate, were together for about 20 years (I think), and M15 was "the intruder" how life changed even in the animal kingdom 🤔
I hate to admit it, because I love them all, but every season I have a favorite. E22, before the nest intrusions, won my heart with their scrappiness. That featherless, small winged full mantle in the face of an adult choked me up. Reminds me of E6, my all time favorite, only younger. Just wow!
There is plenty of fish around for the four of them! 😁, as long as she keeps getting food for herself (she is not starving read Lady Hawk's comments), she is not a danger to the eaglets. I wonder what would she do when another intruder enters the territory? 🤔
Hi Lady Hawk. Hope you are well? Yes, I certainly did see that in real time and I was wondering at that time what E22 was laying on and surly wasn’t gonna move for no one cause that fish wasn’t going anywhere.👍🏻😊🦅❤️ I swear, it’s so sad that these E’s have to go through all this terror at such a young age but however, I do believe it is a good learning lesson for the so when they get to adulthood that they will be equipped to know how to handle a crazy lady Eagle if God forbid one comes into this path as adults too. God bless and have a wonderful night and hugs to you. Sue M🦅🦅🦅🙏😊❤️👍🏻🥰😢💔🦅🙏❌⭕️❌⭕️
She's had ample opportunity to kill or seriously hurt one of the Es. I don't think she's interested in hurting them, just stealing their food. She could grab one and take off, but instead, she's eyeing up M's fish. I get she's a threat, but circumstantially so. I don't think there's intent to hurt behind her actions. Perhaps she is keeping more aggressive birds from coming in too.. just trying to think positive.
Blessed and prayers keep the amazing and awesome daddy safe and babies the intruder only disturbed and don’t leave alone the precious family 🙏🐥🙏🐥🙏🦅❣️❣️❣️
What life lessons the E's are getting. Not all eagles are going to be nice. Cute how E22 mantled his food. They ignored her and went about eating without letting her to the food. ❤
Have been thinking about this for a few more days. These last two eaglets of Harriet and M15 will be the best legacy they have ever left!!! Extraordinary circumstances and yet....we can see very unusual bravery, strength and smarts in all 3 of them. Yes, a beautiful legacy from our much missed Harriet..who was brave as well....in her own right.
I feel awful for all 5 eagles: Harriet, M-15, E-21, E-22, and the intruder (if she is starving). I'm still hoping against hope that Harriet returns. And praying that M-15 stays strong... that the Es thrive... and for the intruder to not hurt the Es. I suppose the one blessing here is that the intruder doesn't appear to be after the Es as a food source. 🙏🏼
God continue to bless our beloved M! The E’s are learning hard life lessons earlier than most eaglets do…and I pray that they will both survive long enough to fledge and be on their own! We already know how difficult that first year is! These 2 will be wiser in their survival skills than other juvies their age, given what they’ve been through! God bless them, you, and us all!
Oh my gosh. I feel for M15. He's got to be "on guard" 24/7 with this intruder. Thats not good for him. E21 & E22 are getting some harsh life lessons. I know they'll be better eagles because of those lessons. I found myself crying for Harriet as I watched this, just now. 👑🦅💜 👐ty LH for your love ❣️& dedication to this special eagle family👐ty Pritchett Family for this view.🦅❣️🦅❣️🦅❣️🐥❣️🐤❣️
Every day they survive & thrive thanks to their amazing Dad is a day closer to fledging. And every bite of food Dad delivers is vital for him to get them there. I’m very proud of M15 & both the Es. (When she kicked them though…☹️)
Thanks for allowing us to see these real nature activities. They are not always pleasant, but that is Mother Nature.. This is indeed survival of the fittest. M15 is doing such a fantastic job.
I don't agree at all. She looks to me to only be out for herself. If she gets frustrated enough with not getting her way I fear she will do intentional harm to the E's.
Wow another day better than the last. 😍First of all 22 has passed 21 in street smarts. He's become one feisty scrappy kiddo. Went straight in on older sib 21's fish this morning. M and his "house guest" had a good day. They disappeared from about 8 to 2. I think he's giving her some fishing lessons because when M came in the nest with a fish around 3, she also had a fish for herself on that scraggly skinny bare dead tree just west of the nest tree near the sidewalk. Then almost an hour later a big test came. M kept her included for a first family dinner. Yikes! Well other than her habitual single shove to the kids' bums it went well. M spoke in modest tones to her and she stayed in her seat at the "table." She excused herself after 8 minutes. I wonder how young she is? Ever been a mama yet? Wonder if she was possibly orphaned? Just been on her own for a long time? Or not? Day ended with one more big fish from dad to 22 a little later. Good going M...you da man! "Trust the eagles"🦅💓🙏
@@trax2011 Yea I know, right? 😆 21's used to lolling around, waitin' for dad to spoon-feed him. Then we have little "Scrappy" running around trying to bust up old fish heads, swallow bones and eat piles of rabbit fur! Not to mention having the nerrrrrve to snatch food right out of the mouth of big brother. What a hoot! 🤣👏
Thank you for the update Lady Hawk and all of the great information that you provide to us. So impressed with M & the eaglets and they are doing such a great job surviving through the loss of Harriet ❤🦅❤
M15 is comfortable with this eagle being on the nest with his babies or he is to exhausted to drive it away. Hopefully everything will turn out ok for everyone.😇😇
The eaglets depend on him being uninjured to care for them. If M15 gets injured severely and is unable to hunt, it's a death sentence for the offspring. But the adult intruder would be forced to find a different family to harass and bully. The survival instinct of the intruder will make her exploit every opportunity to live. Remember, even eaglets are known to kill their sibling/competition because it is natural for the strong to survive. Being cunning and fast, like e22, is a survival skill. Knowing when and where to battle is the survival skill M15 is practicing now. I think timing is something he can't afford to get wrong to survive.
Thank you Lady Hawk! This is an amazing detailed update! I was wonder about this behavior of this female! Very interesting! I hope M15 finds a mate just like Harriet! He seems very smart and knows what he is looking for in a potential mate! Thank you ! ❤
Thank you Lady Hawk. Once again I couldn’t wait for your narrative! It is so interesting to see E21 being submissive to this unfriendly intruder. They know now to leave it to dad. Breaks my heart 💔 but so proud of how all three are handling it. Harriet would be so proud 😪❤️
She simply disappeared. 😢 No one knows what happened to her. Many searches have been conducted but no sign of her. We are all Hopeful for her return though. ❤️
These little ones won’t be so little for much longer and she’s going to think twice about entering a nest with two hungry, moody teenagers. Lol. Grow fast little E,s. Lol
These 2 eaglets are getting a lesson that most do not get. I was agraid of M’s not chasing her off it would encourage her to do again. It was sad to see M submitting to this intruder!
@ Eileen, an adult eagle can eat an entire large fish and maybe more by himself during a typical day. This intruder is barely getting any scraps from this nest and it's a possibility she could be getting scraps from another nest. Other observers have said she has an injured talon. We don't know but for an eagle to survive they have to be eating well, not just small scraps. If the talon is injured she could be surviving on road kill. Eagles are opportunists. Hence intruding on this nest for scraps.
She realizes M is a nice guy and she's taking advantage of him. He may have to really send her the message ...not to come anywhere near the nest and his Eaglets.
Well thank goodness the intruder is just kicking at them talons flat, I don’t want to see the M15 and Harriet family hurt🙏 I don’t know anything about whether a strange female would kill the young of another female or not yikes
The dynamic here is quite strange! I’m glad she doesn’t seem to want to hurt the youngins, just wants food!! Now dad has 3 mouths to feed plus his own!!
Praying for the best outcome here🙏🙏🙏 Hoping and praying this Eagle-girl can't harm the precious Eaglets🙏🙏🙏 Our dear amazing outstanding Daddy M😍❤💪💖 We love you so much❤❤ Daddy M is so steadfast💪💗 Nothing distracts our blessed M from his (and Harriet's) beloved Eaglets💕💕💕 Well done, lil E22! Brave smartest Eaglet😍💗 Praying for the whole Eagle family🙏🙏 Stay safe, dear Eagles🙏 under Divine protection🙏🙏🙏 Thank you, dear Lady Hawk🙏🙏🙏

I think M15 would have kicked her off the nest if she had not turned aside and looked away from the food. She backed down a little
I agree. He wanted to get the food in the kids as quickly as possible. Maybe if the food was gone, the intruder would just leave.
@@dianac5764 he is a very good Dad
Do you think she’s unable to hunt bc of her injured talon? Maybe so, that kinda puts a different slant on her intentions!!
I was wondering, could her talon be injured from a fight with Harriet???

M15 is so smart in not chasing her off, his E's could have been hurt. Very Smart!

Hi RoseMary I am very proud of E22 too- and M15 for keeping them safe in Harriet's absence ♥ Take care and be blessed my friend 🌷💞🌺🫂💙
I agree, so proud of 22! Seems the sibling bonks toughened him up from beginning. Also agree M's strategy is so wise. Incredible
I love to see E22 being a little more aggressive in getting his fair share!
She is getting much bolder. I fear for the E's as she gets angrier every time she jumps in the nest. Clearly, she no longer fears or respects M as she stands in the nest and he only screams at her. She is demanding food and hurting the E's right in front of him. She will eventually try to get rid of the "competition".

E22 is a warrior!! But what do you expect?! He M15's Son!! I love this nest so much!! M15 is just remarkable!!
E22 ate well while the intruder was in the nest since E21 was too timid to bonk E22.
E21🥰 has been flexing his muscles lately💪
(His wings) and today, for the first time, E22 flexed his too! 🥰👍He's getting the eagle traits. 🙏 🤲 🙌
E22 is a very feisty little eaglet - great to see him protect his dinner. The intruder is obviously getting food somewhere - she’s still able to fly and doesn’t look noticeably weak.
She's an eagle linebacker. :)
Thank God no tussle on the nest this time! Well done M15! Keep up your strength! E22 is such a quick learner! I swear the snatch and and grabs are getting quicker!
Thanks Lady Hawk for keeping us posted and for another precious video!
Take care🌷💞🌺🫂💙✝️💟
Hi Debi you are very welcome!! E22 is the snatch and grab gold star learner!!! ⭐⭐M15 is doing such an amazing job!!! Take care and have a great evening! ♥
I don't comment but have been watching more closely, been following this nest since 2019, M15 has been wonderful. I do miss Queen Harriet, I pray for a great fledge for these E's! Thank you very much Lady Hawk 💜🙏🦅
E22 mantles it was amazing. She is so close and kicks both E’s. They are so smart now and know to keep their heads down. Dad handled it so well. No one is goi g to mess with his and Harriet’s eaglets. God keep our eagle family of three safe.
When they are fledged then maybe they can be a pair it not until then. TY LH. Some anxious moments for sure. 🥰❤️🦅🦅🦅👍
M15 the heroe. This was a great video Lady Hawk. M15 gave his warnings and kept on feeding his kids. E22 it’s learning so much from all this. Keep on praying that this nest it’s successful till the end. Thanks so much 😊
Yes and Amen! 💙🙏🦅🕊
Lady Hawk I just tuned in and thank you so much for the summary of that particular event. You are so knowledgeable and put everyone at ease with your comments. Thank you for the great education on these amazing Eagles along with your insight, please take care of yourself be healthy we all need you. You are an angel.😇 love to you for all you do.🙏🏻😘❣️ From California
Yes indeed, M15 is a hero to his eaglets and is doing an outstanding job feeding and protecting them! I too thought she might be starving and couldn't hunt for herself but changed my mind today when I saw her with the fish she had caught. It's so upsetting watching those poor little ones getting kicked around. So proud of E22, so brave mantling it's fish next to that big intruder. I was so afraid the intruder would try and snatch the fish away and hurt E22. These little ones are certainly having to learn some hard lessons quickly, maybe and hopefully to their advantage. Mama wherever you're at I know you're so proud of your special little family! Prayers for M15, E21, E22 and precious Harriet. Thank you Lady Hawk for the updates they are greatly appreciated. 💜🙏
That was great watching E22 mantle his food from that annoying female intruder! Dad did a great job feeding a fast meal. That intruder needs to fi d another nest to go too!
Thank you so much for sharing this amazing drama unfolding. Honestly, I get so anxious watching that I fits read your summary to see whether everybody is ok. I can’t thank you enough. We all are part of a family here.
💙🙏🦅🕊
며칠전 침입자로부터 크게 밟혔던 21은 좀 순해졌어요.지금은 E22를 많이 공격하지 않아요.
Wishful thinking ,
Эта тëтя Орëл немного его по воспитывала. 😄
I don't know what to expect with all the drama here, but do know that M15 is taking great care of his 2 eaglets and both of them seem to be doing alright. The intruder is balsy in that she is barging in insistently yet M15 seems to know she won't harm the eaglets other than a kick here and there. She's really annoying to say the least. Pushy and not very nice.
I don't think that the eagle with the injury on the foot means any harm to the E's. It looks like she's begging for help and food. If it wasn't the case she would have killed the E's already. She had many chances and she didn't even with M -15 in the nest. She had the upper hand.
Wow... well done M 15 ❤🦅and E 22❤🐥and E 21 🐤❤The intruder is more calm now 👍🦅
Thanks Lady Hawk ❤🍰☕
Hi Inger Anit 🌷💞🌺🫂💙 M15 has done it again - what an amazing eagle Dad he is!!!
@@ladyhawk Yes he is 🦅❤
Thank you Lady Hawk.
M15 is so smart. He was able to avoid a fight in the nest that could have been disastrous for the E's, and save his strength.
E22 is so smart and fast!! He's got her number.
Continued prayers going up. Blessings to everyone on this feed 🙏💙🦅🕊
Thank you again, I have been waiting all day for a video and your narrative🪻🌷💝🦅🕊
If a bald eagle is visibly sick and on the ground, unable to fly, then perhaps CROW would intervene. If an eagle is able to fly, then they’ll leave her be.
Wishing you a peaceful night!
God Bless!
Denise from MA
And if an eagle is on the ground & unable to fly...it makes survival a whole lot more difficult.
I was watching this live and screamed some not so nice names when I saw her kick the E's! 😠😠😠 E22 was very impressive with it's little mantle.
E22 was very impressive today.
Prayers for dad🦅❤️& eaglets🙏
Great job,M you are a great Dad. I am so sorry this is so tough. I know Harriet would not have wanted that. But, always great job Dad! @ Lady Hawk, thank you.
I'm glad the E's are gobbling food quickly as Dad feeds them as she is after the food. I'm also glad M15 is feeding the E's fast and then cleaning up the meal himself as much as possible. I was impressed with E22 mantleing to protect the bite it got. I did look long at the intruders' injury. My thought was that it might be healed enough for her to hunt. I am glad she is able and will hunt. She is obviously trying to take the easy way and steal food. In the past, I've seen videos showing huge eagle fights over stealing food at salmon runs. Of course, those are not a nesting situation. Lady Hawk, your explanation has really made the behavior we are seeing much clearer. I'm learning a lot more. Where I live the locations where I see Bald Eagles, they are sitting in trees along the Columbia River watching for fish in the river. It is as I drive home. There is no space to pull over, and just watch along that high traffic road.
Although I've grieved for Harriet, I must say that this magnificent fight for survival from single dad M and his two vulnerable eaglets is a wonderful thing to witness.
I could not understand any good comments about this female villian
BRAVO M AND E21 AND E22
At one time I was hoping the intruder was Harriet with a slight case of Amnesia
Wow, that's a lot to put up with for one parent. Hope we find out what happened to Harriet
Thanks Lady Hawk for giving us information on the intruder. She is not nice hitting our babies, I hope she doesn’t move in permanently.
LIFE IS HARD FOR THE LITTLE ONES😐
I can't believe what I am seeing I have watched eagles for a while I have never seen anything like this wow
She's hurt and hungry. All she wants is food. She's not interested in harming the eaglets. She has plenty of opportunities to do whatever she wanted. Yes, she kicked the eaglets and that's not a good thing (in a way) cause it looks more like "bonking them" to stay put. Her talon is destroyed 😔 and looks broken 💔. I am so sorry for all of them 😔 including the beautiful intruder 😰 which it looks like she can't hunt. I remember the season the Harriet & Ozzy
Now M15 & Intruder.
Did you read Lady Hawks description above?. The intruder is not starving, and was observed today hunting and caught her OWN fish. Eagles are opportunistic hunters. She sees an easy meal or free food from a one parent nest and is taking advantage knowing M is bringing fish and prey all day to feed tye eaglets and easy meals. She is a threat if there was a nothrr fight in the nest don't you think M15 or the babies can be seriously injured or accidently fallen out of the nest. What if M15 is seriously injured by a much bigger feamale???
@Blondie22 Yes, I saw the post. Also, today I saw her eating in a branch all by herself! (Eagles don't share except with their mate and their eaglets) Is the wildlife of the Eagles world 🌎 they are raptors by nature. There is a lot of Eagles nest disturbance nowadays due to the hurricane 🌀.
Harriet and Ozzy, her first mate, were together for about 20 years (I think), and M15 was "the intruder" how life changed even in the animal kingdom 🤔
The Beautiful Bald Eagle, my favorite of all birds 🦅🕊🦅
You tell that intruder who your daddy is, E22! Little cutie smarty pants🥰
This is all such hopeful progress. “We can make it happen “ is playing in my head !!!
M did have many words! 👍
I hate to admit it, because I love them all, but every season I have a favorite. E22, before the nest intrusions, won my heart with their scrappiness. That featherless, small winged full mantle in the face of an adult choked me up. Reminds me of E6, my all time favorite, only younger. Just wow!
There is plenty of fish around for the four of them! 😁, as long as she keeps getting food for herself (she is not starving read Lady Hawk's comments), she is not a danger to the eaglets. I wonder what would she do when another intruder enters the territory? 🤔
Hi Lady Hawk. Hope you are well? Yes, I certainly did see that in real time and I was wondering at that time what E22 was laying on and surly wasn’t gonna move for no one cause that fish wasn’t going anywhere.👍🏻😊🦅❤️ I swear, it’s so sad that these E’s have to go through all this terror at such a young age but however, I do believe it is a good learning lesson for the so when they get to adulthood that they will be equipped to know how to handle a crazy lady Eagle if God forbid one comes into this path as adults too. God bless and have a wonderful night and hugs to you. Sue M🦅🦅🦅🙏😊❤️👍🏻🥰😢💔🦅🙏❌⭕️❌⭕️
She's had ample opportunity to kill or seriously hurt one of the Es. I don't think she's interested in hurting them, just stealing their food. She could grab one and take off, but instead, she's eyeing up M's fish. I get she's a threat, but circumstantially so. I don't think there's intent to hurt behind her actions. Perhaps she is keeping more aggressive birds from coming in too.. just trying to think positive.
I tend to agree with you. Thank you for saying this.
Hello Khesoification - please see my pinned comment at the top of the video as I address this! Thanks for watching!
Blessed and prayers keep the amazing and awesome daddy safe and babies the intruder only disturbed and don’t leave alone the precious family 🙏🐥🙏🐥🙏🦅❣️❣️❣️
What life lessons the E's are getting. Not all eagles are going to be nice. Cute how E22 mantled his food. They ignored her and went about eating without letting her to the food. ❤
So many things left to surmise going on here ..
I agree.
If I were a nail biter under stress, my fingers would probably be nubs.
Always the voice of reason... Thank YOU Lady Hawk!! 💞
Have been thinking about this for a few more days. These last two eaglets of Harriet and M15 will be the best legacy they have ever left!!! Extraordinary circumstances and yet....we can see very unusual bravery, strength and smarts in all 3 of them. Yes, a beautiful legacy from our much missed Harriet..who was brave as well....in her own right.
Eaglets are probably so confused!!🥺
I feel awful for all 5 eagles: Harriet, M-15, E-21, E-22, and the intruder (if she is starving). I'm still hoping against hope that Harriet returns. And praying that M-15 stays strong... that the Es thrive... and for the intruder to not hurt the Es.
I suppose the one blessing here is that the intruder doesn't appear to be after the Es as a food source. 🙏🏼
God continue to bless our beloved M!
The E’s are learning hard life lessons earlier than most eaglets do…and I pray that they will both survive long enough to fledge and be on their own! We already know how difficult that first year is! These 2 will be wiser in their survival skills than other juvies their age, given what they’ve been through!
God bless them, you, and us all!
Oh my gosh. I feel for M15. He's got to be "on guard" 24/7 with this intruder. Thats not good for him. E21 & E22 are getting some harsh life lessons. I know they'll be better eagles because of those lessons. I found myself crying for Harriet as I watched this, just now. 👑🦅💜 👐ty LH for your love ❣️& dedication to this special eagle family👐ty Pritchett Family for this view.🦅❣️🦅❣️🦅❣️🐥❣️🐤❣️
Bless your heart. So many tears have been shed for our beautiful Harriet. I still cry... 💙🙏🦅🕊
@@michellecoshow2927 thank you☮️☯️
M is great. Hopefully he can leave some food on the nest for self feeding and she won’t steal it.
I hate when she kicks the Es.
Thank you LH.. it is a relief to read your info.. M15s instincts are strong. Such a challenging season 🙏🌈
Every day they survive & thrive thanks to their amazing Dad is a day closer to fledging. And every bite of food Dad delivers is vital for him to get them there. I’m very proud of M15 & both the Es. (When she kicked them though…☹️)
Thanks for allowing us to see these real nature activities. They are not always pleasant, but that is Mother Nature.. This is indeed survival of the fittest. M15 is doing such a fantastic job.
I don't think the intruder has any interest in harming the E's . I think her presence is helping them not be harmed by other birds .
Yes, I was thinking about that too. Not the perfect scenario, but her presence will keep other intruders to maybe think twice before hanging around.
Kicking them in the back with those talons is brutal enough for me. I say get rid of her.
I don't agree at all. She looks to me to only be out for herself. If she gets frustrated enough with not getting her way I fear she will do intentional harm to the E's.
@@Anne5440_ Agree, Anne !
Wow another day better than the last. 😍First of all 22 has passed 21 in street smarts. He's become one feisty scrappy kiddo. Went straight in on older sib 21's fish this morning. M and his "house guest" had a good day. They disappeared from about 8 to 2. I think he's giving her some fishing lessons because when M came in the nest with a fish around 3, she also had a fish for herself on that scraggly skinny bare dead tree just west of the nest tree near the sidewalk. Then almost an hour later a big test came. M kept her included for a first family dinner. Yikes! Well other than her habitual single shove to the kids' bums it went well. M spoke in modest tones to her and she stayed in her seat at the "table." She excused herself after 8 minutes. I wonder how young she is? Ever been a mama yet? Wonder if she was possibly orphaned? Just been on her own for a long time? Or not? Day ended with one more big fish from dad to 22 a little later. Good going M...you da man! "Trust the eagles"🦅💓🙏
Excellent assessment, thank you. 😊 I feel sorry for her, being alone and injured. I'm so glad to hear she had a fish of her own. 💙🙏🦅🕊
Did you see when E22 stole food right out of E21’s beak? 😂
@@trax2011 Yea I know, right? 😆 21's used to lolling around, waitin' for dad to spoon-feed him. Then we have little "Scrappy" running around trying to bust up old fish heads, swallow bones and eat piles of rabbit fur! Not to mention having the nerrrrrve to snatch food right out of the mouth of big brother. What a hoot! 🤣👏
@@michellecoshow2927 Yes. Taking one day at a time & she seems have chilled quite a bit from her psychotic first visit to their home.😍👍
Thank you for the update Lady Hawk and all of the great information that you provide to us. So impressed with M & the eaglets and they are doing such a great job surviving through the loss of Harriet ❤🦅❤
All of them have had a hard time adjusting to Harriet's disappearance now this crazy situation is a threat to all.
"M" is my Hero...🦅He has been putting up with that not-so-nice intruder.All the while keepin the kiddos fed and protecting them 2.
🙏💗
Poor babies! 😔 she’s getting bolder and looked at M as she kicked 21 😡
M15 are genius 💪 amazing dad 👏👏👏
M15 is comfortable with this eagle being on the nest with his babies or he is to exhausted to drive it away. Hopefully everything will turn out ok for everyone.😇😇
The eaglets depend on him being uninjured to care for them. If M15 gets injured severely and is unable to hunt, it's a death sentence for the offspring. But the adult intruder would be forced to find a different family to harass and bully. The survival instinct of the intruder will make her exploit every opportunity to live.
Remember, even eaglets are known to kill their sibling/competition because it is natural for the strong to survive. Being cunning and fast, like e22, is a survival skill.
Knowing when and where to battle is the survival skill M15 is practicing now. I think timing is something he can't afford to get wrong to survive.
Seems she’s waiting for leftovers! 🥹
Daddy eagle # 1 🏆 ❤️❤️❤️
Ohh those little punching bags 🥺
Thank you Lady Hawk! This is an amazing detailed update! I was wonder about this behavior of this female! Very interesting! I hope M15 finds a mate just like Harriet! He seems very smart and knows what he is looking for in a potential mate!
Thank you ! ❤
I feel sorry for M-15. He looks rough. He certainly could use a bath at the pond.
Hrs not just a pretty boy , anymore 😴 I bet this experience will age him a couple years
The intruder hunted a fish and was able to carry the fish to the upper branch earlier. So, I am not sure if the intruder was hungry.
Thank you Lady Hawk. Once again I couldn’t wait for your narrative! It is so interesting to see E21 being submissive to this unfriendly intruder. They know now to leave it to dad. Breaks my heart 💔 but so proud of how all three are handling it. Harriet would be so proud 😪❤️
Can someone tell me what happened to Harriet 😭
She simply disappeared. 😢 No one knows what happened to her. Many searches have been conducted but no sign of her. We are all Hopeful for her return though. ❤️
These little ones won’t be so little for much longer and she’s going to think twice about entering a nest with two hungry, moody teenagers. Lol. Grow fast little E,s. Lol
Especially with how sassy 21 already is. I can’t wait to see it if she sticks around that long ♥️♥️♥️
Poor intruder … 😭 shes so hungry ~ I love all eagles . .. ❤❤❤
Je nebezpečná snad mláďatům neublíží 😟😱 táta se stará dobře 👍
Je zlá bere jim žrádlo a ubližuje mláďatům 😟 táta je šikovný 👏💞
These 2 eaglets are getting a lesson that most do not get. I was agraid of M’s not chasing her off it would encourage her to do again. It was sad to see M submitting to this intruder!
I guess mantles is a protective move like a wing-slap, minus the slap.
Yes, they do it to keep the other eagles from stealing their food.
She is mean!!
She looks perfectly fine. Is she not able to catch her own dinner?!!🤔
Why work when someone else will do it for you?
She does have that injured talon. Dunno if it’s enough to prevent her from hunting though
@ Eileen, an adult eagle can eat an entire large fish and maybe more by himself during a typical day. This intruder is barely getting any scraps from this nest and it's a possibility she could be getting scraps from another nest. Other observers have said she has an injured talon. We don't know but for an eagle to survive they have to be eating well, not just small scraps. If the talon is injured she could be surviving on road kill. Eagles are opportunists. Hence intruding on this nest for scraps.
Hi Eileen please see my pinned comment at the top of the video as I address this question! Thank you for watching!
Орлица голодная, где что попадëтся для пропитания.
Do you think she is the reason Harriet is not around anymore???
She realizes M is a nice guy and she's taking advantage of him. He may have to really send her the message ...not to come anywhere near the nest and his Eaglets.
Well thank goodness the intruder is just kicking at them talons flat, I don’t want to see the M15 and Harriet family hurt🙏 I don’t know anything about whether a strange female would kill the young of another female or not yikes
True , she doesn't use her nails and the kicks don't seem over the top , more like , get ou of the way. ,gesture, ,
@@fidelaromo6705 Yes that’s what I think as well
Maybe she was nudging them, hey get up, it's time to eat
So brave and smart E22.
The dynamic here is quite strange! I’m glad she doesn’t seem to want to hurt the youngins, just wants food!! Now dad has 3 mouths to feed plus his own!!
Praying for the best outcome here🙏🙏🙏
Hoping and praying this Eagle-girl can't harm the precious Eaglets🙏🙏🙏
Our dear amazing outstanding Daddy M😍❤💪💖 We love you so much❤❤
Daddy M is so steadfast💪💗 Nothing distracts our blessed M from his (and Harriet's) beloved Eaglets💕💕💕
Well done, lil E22! Brave smartest Eaglet😍💗
Praying for the whole Eagle family🙏🙏 Stay safe, dear Eagles🙏 under Divine protection🙏🙏🙏
Thank you, dear Lady Hawk🙏🙏🙏
I just wanted to say thank you 🙏🏻 for sharing 💗
She may have done battle with our Harriet.
Could the intruder’s talon be injured from a fight with Harriet?
