We now have cam 3 (360) live!! M15 flies into the nest with a nice size fish. He looks around and waits a bit -but then he picks up the fish and flew off towards the pond. When M15 returned to the attic, he was sporting a humongous crop! M15 stayed on the attic for a couple of hours as it began to rain. The female is in the upper branches of the nest tree. M15 did some neck movements allowing the food to move down from his crop to his stomach - then M15 closed his eyes and napped. I think we all could relate to eating too much and feeling sleepy!! 😊 As it was getting dark, M15 looked up towards the upper branches at the female and watched her fly off towards the church. M15 then flew off after her heading northeast. What a great day for kicking off the official start to the bald eagle breeding season! Thank you for watching!
