A lot has happened at the Eagles nest in Fort Myers, Ozzie was injured at the End of last season, and spent ~3 mo in the Care of "Crow" our local wildlife hospital. One Eagle successfully fledged in Ozzie's absence. There were a lot of Eagles showing interest in the nest and Harriett, when word got out that Ozzie was gone. A young male Who is now named M 15, was slowly accepted by Harriet and is now a fixture in the area. Ozzie was returned to health and set free at the nest site In June, but left the area and was not seen.
Ozzie Returned last Saturday seeming to be ready to start the next season. Its very difficult to imagine what they are thinking, but Harriet and M 15 have seemed to have bonded. making Ozzie the odd eagle out. There were a few chasing encounters, and Ozzie seems to have reinjured a talon, and has now has gone missing again. We have all become attached to Ozzie over the years, but I am thrilled to have an active eagle nest so close to my house whoever the male is.
I Believe this is M15 just after a skirmish with Ozzie.
