He’s Baaaaack! Ozzie That Is!!!
I am so excited today! I mean really, really excited!
Ozzie the eagle of Ozzie and Harriet fame has returned to the nesting area and of course you know…if you have followed my posts on this pair of eagles…..there is another Eagle (frequent visitor, also known as FV) and he has been helping Harriet with her nest. (See links below)
Eagle Cam and Ozzie and Harriet
The headline reads: Bloodshed in Domestic Incident at Ozzie the Eagle’s Nest!….. and goes on to say:
“In fighting worthy of seasoned Air Force pilots, Ozzie the eagle, who vanished earlier this year after his release from rehabilitation, and the male eagle who swooped in to replace him were seen in aerial combat Sunday, with Ozzie getting the worst of the encounter.”
Ever the romantic, even with Bald Eagles…I want everyone to live happily ever after. Yes, I can remember (as far back as I can remember) saying after every story….and they lived happily ever after!
Harriet on the left and FV (Alias M15)
Sooooo Ozzie had been released from his rehabilitation of shoulder repair after flying into something (some seem to think the side of a moving train) ….. he flew near the area of his mate-for-life’s nest, but alas….then he disappeared. Some thought it was because he saw FV near his nest with Harriet, but no one really knows where Ozzie flew off to. He just flew the coup…pun intended! 😉
I think Harriet is looking for Ozzie and you know who is trying not to notice! 😉
Harriet, in the mean time searched the skies for Ozzie….and again some have said that she thought he was dead so she allowed FV to help her feather her nest. He is a young bird and she has had to teach him most things. (Kind of like human life sometimes) hahaha!
On Monday, a “spotter” said he saw Ozzie fly over the nest again but there was no encounter. Another “spotter” said it appeared that Harriet screeched at FV because he got a bit too friendly. None of this is confirmed, but in my heart…I want to believe it is so.
The saga continues and I will keep those of you interested in these amazing Bald Eagles posted. October 1st is the usual nesting period in Florida so time is getting close.
Night is closing in and no sign of Ozzie.
Ozzie is a strong Eagle and he and Harriet have been together for a long, long time. I hope this little triangle is just a passing fancy and Harriet will say good bye to the younger FV.
More to Come….
Have a great and blessed day!
Really enjoy your Ozzie and Harriet updates accompanied by beautiful photos. I am rooting for Ozzie, too. Thanks for your blog.
I sure hope Ozzie comes back to stay…he actually staked out that nest several years ago…I guess the males do that, so it just seems fitting that Harriet allow him to stay and not fall for the charms of some young pretty boy!:) thanks for stopping by.
Ozzie is gorgeous and so is Harriet and so is FV, but I believe in mating for life. I hope it all works out.
I do too Sandy….thanks for stopping by.;)
