Local observers have named the resident pair Glen and Gladys.

You may be right, though I didn't hear any loud calls immediately after the first two left. I do have to be careful to not humanize my interpretations of what I'm observing - it did look to me as if the two on the nest were more on alert before the third one landed - but that could be more because they knew where that one was than that they were glad he/she was there - easier to keep an eye on. ~JudyB

Thanks for your comments, Sue. They do have names - he's Glen and she's Gladys - and I don't always use the names because I'm still having trouble telling them apart. Glen is short for Gleneagles, and local observers felt Gladys was a good companion name. I didn't mean to suggest the one I was watching had a problem - only that it looked to me as if he or she felt more balanced on one leg than the other, and not having noticed that before, I was wondering if it's usually the case. We do often see eagles standing on one leg - but I'm not remembering seeing them switch from one to the other that often, though I'm sure they do. ~JudyB

@ Hi JudyB. So nice to hear from you. Thank you for your comment and also explaining your comment on the video and also for refreshing my memory in their NMEA too. Sorry I did forget their names too.😁🦅🦅❤️. Pretty much all Eagles do stand on one leg and tuck the other up close to their body and they sleep like that. Thanks and have whose night. Sue M. Clearwater, Florida ❤️🦅🦅🙏🥰❌⭕️

I think the younger eagles do know that nests often have food left in them - and know to leave in a hurry if they see a resident adult coming! :) ~JudyB

Thanks, Sue - I totally agree on the size, but it's my impression that the male here is fairly large, and I can't consistently tell who is bigger. Once we get to know more about them - which one prefers which perch, does one have a funny feather that sticks out - it will be easier to combine that with size to confirm ID. But for now, I cannot tell for sure who is bigger - and would love to have you join the forum if you're not a member and share your thoughts on that. Link to their thread is forum.hancockwildlife.org/viewtopic.php?f=138&t=751 And they do have names! With thanks to the local observers, the male is Glen, in honor of Gleneagles, and the female is Gladys, because it goes well with Glen. ~JudyB

@ Good morning HWF🙏🦅🦅. So nice to hear from you. With the Bald Eagle I’ve always been told that it’s the larger Eagle to be the female and the male is always the smaller one. However, I do believe I’ve seen where both Eagles are almost the same size but one still the female and the other still being the male. Like I’ve said, I have been only going by what I’ve learned from people who put out videos on our Eagles here in Florida and the US too. Also, I’ve learned too it’s the neck feathers on the back of the neck that shows the female from the male too but I haven’t been able to figure that out yet. The Female Eagles here in Florida are definitely bigger than the males. I was just curious to know, how come there isn’t a live chat with the live Eagles cams like most Eagle cams have and this is just a chat forum? Also, don’t people need to have a Facebook page in order to be able to get on the forum chats? I don’t have a Facebook page nor do I care to and in fact, I’m not on any kind of social media platform cause I think they are a waste of time and there can be a lot of nasty people on those things too. Yes, there can be nasty people on KZbin live chats too but, those chats seem to be moderated and those nasty people do get either put into timeout or they eventually get banned. I’m just curious and now I shall go for now. Do take care and have an awesome and blessed day. Sue M. Florida,USA 🙏🦅🦅❤️🥰🎅🏻🎄❌⭕️

@@susanmorris5520 Quite frankly, we don't have enough active members to properly manage a live chat - they can be great, but really need moderators online most of the time for that to happen, and most of us are too busy with other things - like documenting the activity on our forum and making videos. If we had some members who wanted to manage a live chat, we'd consider adding that - but we're currently focused on a more permanent documentation of what the eagles are doing - and while I know that folks on chat make great observations, I do not know how to save those for future researchers. If you have thoughts about that, please let me know. ~JudyB

@ Hi Judy. Nice to hear from you. I’m so sorry that you don’t have enough members or subscribers to have a live chat on the cam. I do know it takes a village to run cams and live chats too and also need mods to keep the chats friendly and let me tell you, some chats surly can have quite a number of nasty people. I’m also sorry too and please forgive my ignorance too, I didn’t realize this channel was just a research on the Eagles and information about them too and their daily lives. As of right now, I don’t have anything to share with you but if I ever do come up with something that would be of use for you and your channel I’d greatly help out. Do take care and have blessed night. Sue M. Clearwater, Florida ❤️🙏🎄🎅🏻🌴🦅🦅❌⭕️

I don't think so, though it is odd looking - seems more like a bit of wood or something. ~JudyB

Me toooo 😊

Not yet, though I think the local observers are discussing that topic, so we may have an update on that before too long! You can peek in on our forum at forum.hancockwildlife.org/viewtopic.php?f=138&t=751 to see if there is any discussion of that - and we'd love to have more people join and post their observations of what they see on the cams. I actually live in Maine, though I'm hoping to get back to BC for a visit in the next year or two so my husband and I can see some of the newer nests like this one in person. ~JudyB

Oops - not good at multi-tasking (embarrassed smiley here). Link is hancockwildlife.org/harrison-mills-cams/ ~JudyB

We were hoping, but probably not. More likely Dad/Pere keeping watch over the territory, while Mom/Mere and Blue were looking for fish or exploring the nearby landfill. There were experienced observers in the area, and they didn't see Blue or a second adult.

We're missing Blue as well, but I really do think she or he was ready to go, and this is a great time of year for a newly fledged eagle to find food, so while her landings may be a bit rocky for a few days, I do think she'll land on her feet! ~JudyB
