Bert had Ethel hopping mad. He showed up empty handed... She ruffled her feathers, stood up, deployed her massive wings, hopped up and down on the perch, then turned her attention to Bert and squawked at him till he left

This preening session ended when she became too aggressive.

a mating pair I have been following for the last 4 years.

they use a new nest every year. numbers of chicks have varied, from as little as 1, to as many as 4.

this year and 2 years ago were single chicks, and they both died.

cause of death in the 1st case was deemed to be dehydration. in the 2nd case, the chick was found with trauma to the forehead.
