It was really nice to see both M15 & F23 at the nest and pond today! F23 brings a squirrel to the nest and gets dive bombed by shrikes as she tries to eat it. She finally gets to defur and begins to eat the squirrel. M15 flies in to the outer inner branch and then the attic as he watches her eating on the nest. F23 is not so welcoming to him! She vocalizes her displeasure and when M15 drops to the nest - she mantles and lunges at him protecting her prey. M15 stands on the side of the nest and realizes she is not going to share her meal with him so he goes to the spike. F23 is vocal and mantling but eventually starts to calm down. M15 will fly off the spike to the treetop perch while F23 resumes eating the prey. She swallows the pelt and then heads to the veranda to feak her beak before flying off to the pond. M15 sees the opportunity and drops to the nest to look for any nestovers and then he goes to the spike before flying off heading west. Rule number one: All food is F23's whether she brings it in or M15! 😂Coverage will continue with F23 at the pond and later M15 as well. Thank you for watching!
