This is My Nest! Go Away!

Just seeing this for the first time.

It seems clear A-27 is there to look for food. He grabs a nestover at the end.

This, by far, one of the most fascinating videos I have seen on YT!! 5 stars!! My video is on the same chart as yours, so I wandered over!

That is one fierce little eagle!!! No wonder he/she has been so scrappy from the beginning. And I agree, where were the parents when this intruder came by?

[Truthiness231]

LOL, what a perfect symbol for our country: a bird that steals from members of the same species.

It is a young bird trying to survive. If you watch the parents, they are wonderful animals.

When you stop and think about it, there aren't many animals that won't steal from members of their own species. It's not done with malicious intent, it's a matter of survival.

Oj Jann,so many thoughts. I love how the eaglet was either biting the legs of A-27 or wondering where the "beef" was. Also that mantling look/glare was incredible. Not to mentions the rogue bird stealing part of the nest. Sheesh. Some people's kids. I predict this baby is going to thrive, survive, and bring us many babies in the future. Do you think 27 might be looking for and early mate?

Amazing! I've never seen anything like this! Where are the eaglet's parents? Why aren't they there to defend their nest and their eaglet?

Fierce litttle eaglet

[eagleday]

He's a fighter.
