Looked male to me based on beak placement but was a pretty large bird. It finally left on its own and flew towards Garden Lakes. Wasn’t much to report. Dad was mewing for help and other bird just watched him. There are actually 3 eagles that came thru at the same time last night. Only one stayed around, other 2 kept on going to the river.] D gets up to roll eggs 7:47:37, 7:59:45, 8:35:15, 8:43:54, 9:23:51, 9:38:19, 10:17:26 & 10:26:21.
