If I don't do it, then I'll cry all day. I think then I will spend even more energy and it will damage my health. Generating ideas is a more painless way to deal with a situation.

Sonchik, I understand you very well. When I first read it, by ame and Janis K, I cried. That is not a solution either. It helped me through the initial shock. I was really shocked. I just didn't expect anything to happen to these two strong eagles. That wasn't very wise of me. Something can always happen ...

And of course,everyone tries to deal with the situation in their own way. I've had the experience that in the end it's easier to accept things that I can't change. It was a long way to get to grips with that. We always want to be in control ... but we don't!

Asteria, Berry Ma?

far away... a American bald eagle female .. different situation! She and her mate lost their nest to a new couple. But there were no eggs in the nest!

[ame]

aha, thanks Liz.
so that remark was almost too much off-topic.

13:32 the stranger flew away to the right.


14:48 the stranger flew to the top again. Milda called and the stranger called.

14:54 the stranger called upstairs and Milda cried...

[ame]

15:01 Milda got up and cried.. she rolled the eggs.

[ame]

15:06:16 the stranger flew away.

15:32 Milda began to call. she is looking over the meadow...

[ame]

Milda calls every now and then with rather long intervals between the calls.
she was looking at something but i can't see what it was.

[ame]

16:03 the stranger flew to the outer left branch. both called a lot.

[ame]

16:04 Milda jumped to the top branch and chased the stranger away.
they have astonishingly similar tail patterns.
this is Milda's tail and below
( https://www.looduskalender.ee/forum/vie ... 54#p785154 )
you can see the strange female's tail. - Milda's tail was a mess, feathers in disorder.
edit: this stranger was a male.


the stranger flew to the spruce on the right.

[ame]

16:05:30 the stranger flew away from the spruce.


Milda came back down to the nest and covered the eggs.

i have to go for a while.

[ame]

16:10 the stranger flew back from the left. she landed on the top this time.
edit: he.

[ame]

16:20 the stranger flew away over the meadow.

[ame]

16:26 Milda preened... then she got up and stretched her wings and tail well.




finally Milda rolled the eggs.

[ame]

16:42 the stranger flew to the top. both called.

16:43:20 the stranger rubbed her beak against a branch.
edit: his beak.

16:44:44 ruffled feathers.

[ame]

16:51 the stranger made a blitz attack on the nest. she dropped down from above.
edit: he. small spots like in Milda's tail but the borderline between the back and tail is broken, not smooth like Milda's.
no ring.


this was the strange female. Milda hit her with her beak and made her leave.
edit: the stranger was a male.


the stranger called outside.


their game is getting harder.

[ame]

Milda keeps calling every now and then. she is looking to the right. she can probably see the strange female.
edit: strange male.

[Ajeta]

Milda is amazing. She's (seems) still so relaxed despite everything. And even though she has three eggs between her feet she still managed to show that stranger the door in no time when attacked on the nest without any egg suffering so much as the slightest crack. It shows her excellent balance and her great strength even after three days without nourishment. The stranger must be quite frustrated.

[Liz01]

17:20 Milda is calling..she calls again. so the stranger is still here
17:23 she calls again
17:25 she stands up is aerating the nest bowl
she looks to the left.. is there the strange female?
17:26 she settles on the eggs.
now she is calling loud

ame, great work by you!
I'm almost too cowardly to watch.

[ame]

17:25 Milda rolled the eggs. the Sun began to shine about an hour ago

[ame]

17:26 Milda started calling when she was covering the eggs...
the stranger flew back, to the top i guess.

edit: i think that the stranger left at 17:29:55.
