The video opens with M15 flying to the pond to get some sips and soak his feet. After a few minutes he flies back to the attic. F23 will get up off the eggs and fly to the attic vocals between them. She must have told M15 she was taking off because he automatically went to the nest lol . F23 flies to the CSS church side snag briefly and then over to the pond to take a long and invigorating bath.
F23 really enjoys the pond and she splashes, wing dips, does full body dunking and splashing & flapping her wings. She is one squeaky clean eagle!! When I was watching F23 take her long bath, I was wondering before she came to the nest and pasture area in 2023, did she have a pond to bathe in before this or is this pond something new for her to enjoy? And she certainly does enjoy her bath!
F23 will fly to the office oak and then over to the DSPS to dry her wings. M15 will fly over to the DSPS to join her then she flies back to the nest to incubate for the night. M15 flies off the DSPS heading NE to his roosting spot. They are like a well oiled machine in all their incubation changeovers! Thank you for watching!
