Finally....maybe a suitor for the Bobbin. He's been hanging around. Fingers crossed she's out of her Tomboy ways and wants to settle. 

Bobbin on Cam 3 and male on the Cathedral

Bobbin still on cam 3 - we think for a good reason....This adult tiercel is currently on the cathedral west side! The stonemasons have heard him calling & Bobbin has made a couple of flights around the cathedral. He's also been feeding this morning, early days but this is the first male to stick around for a couple of years!!

  saved it and forgot to post. RM from yesterday's visit.

I saw all 3 of Bonnie's eggs tonight, still in good shape. Hope they stay that way!

To the best of my knowledge like you said, it was George & Martha (the eagles) nest.  I'm thinking they head further south in the winter because I'd seen a comment about them being due back soon and people weren't sure what would happen and hoped it was before the owls had their eggs laid.

I hadn't see the comment about GHO nearby that wanted them out of their territory, but it could make a lot of sense!

Wish they could all get along! I would certainly hate to see anything happen to the babies, if they hatch! Thanks Nora and Kris. (Or Bonnie for that matter)    She's holding her own!

Olive (the mom) has a temp of 103.5F (norm is 100F-102.5F) and has been taken to the Vets.  Hope she'll be OK. 

Oh poor mom, she had a rough night!

Bonnie and Clyde have 3 eggs.  I read that some think there's another GHO nest close by and they keep attacking Bonnie because they don't like them so close to their territory.

Hmm, so where is Clyde during these interruptions?  Seems Bonnie is taking it all!

Back on her spot!

  Pip!! 

Mr. And Mrs. Tiger have a second hatch!

Saw that! 

This is the nest of George & Martha, eagle pair. I don't know what happened to them but this GHO pair, Bonnie and Clyde took over the nest. There was an attack twice on Bonnie by another GHO. She is on eggs/egg. She's not having a good time right now with all these intruders. Now I hear there was an eagle flying above the nest, possibly Martha?? If anyone knows more, please chime in.

GHO attack, I think this is by Bev, hard to watch.

OK, just found this on their FB page:

There have been a couple of great questions and concerns raised with the GHOs setting up in the nest, so I would like to touch on a couple of those. 1) the camera on the Wolf River Eagles' nest will not spook the Great Horneds, nor should we try if it could. I know everyone's intentions are good, but we are just observers of the wildlife and will not intervene. 2) will the eagles take the nest back over? We really don't know. Pat had some theories about what could happen, but she reminded us that we really don't know what nature's intentions are. 3) what if the GHOs have babies when the eagles return...oh no! That is a definite possibility and there is a chance that the eagles just go to a backup nest or they could chase off the parents and eat the young. No one wants that scenario but we have to realize that this probably happens every year somewhere. I think we can predict one thing from videos I've seen on this topic; if there is a hostile re-takeover of the nest by George and Martha, most of us will probably miss it. It will probably be relatively fast and furious and it will be a learning experience.
Or, the GHOs and Eagles both lay eggs and coexist in the nest together!!!! (That wont happen, but its fun to dream).
