Since March 30 the big question has been ‘Where is female #4?’ Well, we do not know where she has been, however, we do know where she was this evening – back at the NBG eagle nest tree. At 7:20 the male and female #3 were in the nest. It was evident that both were nervous and behaving as if another eagle was nearby. About 7:35 the female took off. At 7:37 the male suddenly looked toward the camera and began screaming. I was certain it was because another eagle was really close, so searched with the camera. Female #4 was sitting about 20 feet to nest left on a branch. She sat there until 7:57 when she flew off. I think female #3 was still close but could not find her with the camera. As of this post at 10:00pm the male is sitting on the back branch of the nest tree.

    Another interesting night, huh Reese!? Yesterday the male & #3 hung around the nest area for hours until around 12:00. Today we didn’t see them at all, except for a real high fly by, until the male came in 12:30 with the fish. #3 didn’t follow him in as she usually does.
    Response – Sure made it hard to watch Frozen Planet and Amazing Race tonight. Need to set up a TV next to my computers.

    Thank you for the photo posts; she is lovely. This has been the best season this year, yes, better than eggs/eaglets…truly a learning experience.

    The photos Shelly took April 9 of the ‘intruder’ look as if she is beautiful, and easy to identify in flight. Any ole nest can have eggs and chicks, look what the NBG nest has in 2012!
