Unfortunately, as it was the case last year there is a lot of nesting disruptions due to at least one intruder (female). Below are 2 sequences from yesterday afternoon. Intrusions were continuing this morning.

FB video of the ending is done, and posted on my personal timeline. Anyone can go back and record on the youtube playback feature until the time lapse has rotated.

One thing I noticed was the unbanded female had a really good hold on Spirit's abdomen the entire time they were fighting. That isn't good, since the talons pierce the body cavity as they squeeze the foot.
Anyone who has had a raptor grip their hand, even with gloves on, knows the power of that grip.

I am thinking that Spirit is probably internally damaged from that, and will not be back.

Oh my word. So sad. Who is that sitting on the egg now. The male? I see one of the eggs in the back of the nest. Poor Spirit.

OK So I guess this is the new female.

ljames · **Posted:** Wed Apr 26, 2017 7:12 pm

She went to the egg in the back and tried to turn it, then scraped around a bit. She doesn't look so good herself, but pretty comfortable in the nest.

Well I'm glad that I didn't see the fight. I know this happens all of the time, but it's hard to think of this nest without Spirit. She is such a good mother. :egg15:
