NCTC Eagles .. Shepherdstown, WV .. 3-21-11 .. The Day After

Yesterday Belle's chick passed away... She covers her chick and unhatched egg and flies off to the right. The intruder flies down into the nest from a branch above and looks where belle just buried her chick and egg. earlier this had also happened but the intruder actually took the chick out from being buried.
Eventually you can hear Belle fly from above and intruder takes one last look before flying out to the right.
Belle arrives back and the intruder is heard landing back up in the tree.

What if...Liberty has an injury causing the spot on the head and all this time he and Belle have been interacting negatively and what if he came back to the nest to try and find out what happened to his eaglet and egg? It never occurred to me to think or suggest that until I viewed this video a couple of more times. I saw this when it occurred but kept thinking Trudy. Now with some saying Liberty has an injury on top the head, it makes me wonder. Anyone else have any thoughts on this?
