04/07 THIS IS NUTS!! Harriet Brings In STUFFED SQUIRREL TOY ANIMAL To Nest

Image

Harriet flies in from across the street with a stuffed animal toy (squirrel)! She works hard on trying to open it up and pulls out some stuffing and then leaves it on the side of the nest! I think Harriet brought the E's an early Easter present!!

Bald Eagles have been known to bring in stuffed animals and other unusual items but I do believe this is the first time we have seen a stuffed toy on our nest! The stuffing can be used as soft nesting material and has not created a problem on other nests. This toy was not brought in from the memorial for E14. All stuffed toys were removed weeks ago as a safety precaution. Thank you for watching!

I remember when monitoring a Delta nest for Dave Hancock , years ago, adults brought in stuffed teddy. It was so cute as they used it as a pillow. Long story to this, but it led to really nice real life story .

:1val: Thanks for the stuffed squirrel info, loza! I thought sure M15 would remove it from the nest, but he didn't he brought a real squirrel in. Harriet is on the nest with the kids and their stuffed toy and M15 is on the right side of the tree tonight.

Too sweet. :loveheart2: I remember an osprey nest from a few years ago that had a collection of stuffed animals. It seemed like every day a new one appeared.

:1val: Came in earlier today and found the E's alone on the nest panting and seeking shade. They moved all the way over to the edge near the trunk and it was excruciating to watch as they both were so near the point of no return. When I moved to the 360 it made it even worse as you could easily see the drop off. Fortunately a parent came in and eventually one by one they moved back to safety. Currently, Harriet is with the E's and M15 is on the right side of the tree.

I have thought that several times. E15 is really pushing it!

:1val: Mossy is standing on the nest and Hickory is lying on it, both seem to be trying to sleep, but having to shake their heads every little bit to get rid of the bugs bothering them. Victoria and Nicholas are both on the near snag tonight.
