Kansas Eagles 12-23-24. Harvey & Ellie Bring in Lumber & Fluff; + Food Gift; + Gunfire Spooks Both.

Video opens with footage from 12-23-24. Harvey and Ellie were in for nest work. Next is footage from 12-22-24, when Harvey and Ellie had a longer work session, adding sticks and nesting material. The third segement is footage from 12-13-24, when Harvey brought bird prey/food gift to the nest. Ellie can be heard at a distance as Harvey tracks overhead. Ellie arrives on the nest, and based on their behavior, I believe there was another eagle in the area they were warning. The threat passes, and Harvey begins prepping the prey. Ellie wants the prey, of course, and it appears Harvey changed his mind about this being a gift ***. Harvey puffs up/nips/postures at Ellie, who of course takes the prey. Harvey works on a rail stick. Video closes with a short segment of Harvey and Ellie starting out on the nest, and Harvey leaves for the roost tree. Ellie is placing a stick when gunfire is heard close by (hunting season). Both spook off the nest. (They returned before dark to roost, and have continued to work on their nest.)

This upcoming season will be the second on cam for Harvey and Ellie. A brief history is below the time stamps. Eggs were laid last season on 2-13/2-16, and both eaglets fledged. More details in the time stamps below, if interested. Click on any time stamp to advance to that part.
