This footage begins just past midnight when both M15 & F23 were spending the night together sheltering & protecting their eggs as a team. They both remained vigilant in keeping the eggs warm & dry. F23 wants to incubate the eggs and she inches closer to M15 and pushes her way in. M15 gets up and stands on the edge rails. He will fall asleep tucked in and F23 will join him for a double tuck in!

M15 wakes up and inches closer and pushes his way in and F23 gets up. Later, same thing with F23 inching in closer to get her egg time but M15 did not want to get up. He finally does but then lies back down lol F23 waits and gets her egg time and M15 stands close on the edge. F23 then gets up after awhile and heads to spike to dry her wings and M takes over incubation. He falls asleep and tucks in F23 will go to the veranda tip and preens and then flies off.

Later in the day, M15 will bring in an airplant gift and drag it over F23's head lol She gets up and takes a break and M gets his egg time. In the afternoon, it is still very windy and a gust of wind almost blows F23 off the nest, She catches herself and returns to incubate the eggs. It was amazing watching both eagles shelter in place for the entire night as a team and help one another protect their precious eggs. M15 watched over F23 as she incubated the eggs and F23 would cover M15 with her larger body & wings sharing her body warmth with him during the storm. Remarkable to see their commitment and dedication considering they are a new couple. Thank you for watching!
