This was such a wonderful moment to see both M15 & F23 at the pond taking a bath together in the afternoon. F23 is at the pond first, then M15 is seen and both eagles will splash & dunk first independently and then in unison as they engage in synchronized splish splashing!! A must watch (timestamps are provided below)!

F23 finishes her bath first and goes up the pond bank and M15 continues to bathe in the pond. A couple minutes later, M15 flaps his way out of the pond and up the bank. F23 will fly off to the office oak to dry her wings. The cam op spotted her in the tree! All of these actions are strengthening the bond between M15 & F23 making them a stronger couple. Thank you for watching!
