I’ve been “dropping in on this pair” of eagles from time to time. Looks like they are doing great. A while ago there were calls back and forth as one came in with a prize — a coot, and then they engaged in what seemed almost like celebration. Happy birds! (Except the coot, of course!)
A bit later one came in with a branch. Then fussed with it some. Nest repair? Then the other took off, and branch bringer looks back and forth at the eggs and the branch, literally seems to “look” peeved for a moment (as if to say “What?! I thought I was working on the nest!”) and then decides the eggs are the priority.
Ok, people, I know, I know, eagles don’t “think” the way humans do, but one cannot help but watch that sequence and burst out laughing!
That’s great news. Amazing how they instinctively take care of each other. A mom and pop working together to create and raise a family. Humans should learn a lesson.
