I would just like to say that Beau has stayed away for a few days at a time before and even up to a week before he shows back up. Last season each time he did this, he chased off this visitor and all the others that came in. I recommend you visit my playlist for last season and the previous season to show this behavior. Beau comes and goes for the first few weeks at the start of the season. It is not until nestorations officially begun between him and Gabby that he was staying more regularly in the nest tree during the day. Gabby and Beau would roost together most nights in the LY tree. I mention this because there has been a lot of people concerned that Gabby and Beau are no longer a bonded pair. Gabby has spent more time with Beau than any other of the eagles. It is the beginning of the season and the eagles are not driven hormonally to start nesting and breeding. There are a lot of floater eagles still in the area and I am certain we will see some of them come in as well. This is normal for this nest. Even when Samson was here, they still had quite a few visitors early in the season. Gabby is familiar with the visitor and is comfortable around him and she even mated with him last season. Eagles perch in the same tree frequently in the off season there is nothing unusual about that. But during the active breeding season we would see the resident male chasing off any potential suitors - that is their job they are hardwired for. Gabby does not get involved in that process unless she is alone and faced with intruders like she was back in 2022-23. Last season Beau chased them all off and Gabby and him then started the bonding process. If the visitor had been successful in these fights, we would have seen him back at the nest and I am pretty certain that Gabby and him would have settled down to incubate eggs and raise potential eaglets. In fact, this visitor seems more mature & might have been more successful at incubating the eggs and if fertile they would have hatched. We have not seen this visitor bring any fish to the nest - but I am not concerned as he really has not had time to feel comfortable bringing food to the nest to eat with another male eagle in the territory. We don't know his hunting skills with his injured toes. The bottom line is: it is still very early in the season and we don't see a consistent pattern of longevity with this visitor. He is interested in becoming a potential mate for Gabby but we will have to see if Beau will once again come in and chase him out of the territory. We are all observers of this nest & we are privileged to be able to watch these eagles interact. Let's sit back & enjoy the ride & try not to speculate.
Thx LH for the update and great info!!🧡 Let's trust the Eagles,I'm still rooting for handsome Beau! Hoping for both to bond and give us a surprise! They do make a great pair🧡 Blessings to all🤲
Thank you so much for your wonderful update much appreciated, dear Lady Hawk. 💙💙 I trust Gabby and Beau!! And no matter what happens, my heart goes out to them!! Bless their hearts. 🙌🦅🦅🙌 Sending many blessings, fervent prayers, positive energy and all my love to them. 💕🙏💌🙏💕 I wish you a wonderful blessed day, my dearest friend. 🌺🌸💙💙🥰😘❤️❤️🦅💕🙏
Gabby is the Queen 💕..she was always pampered by Samson! She is enjoying her time with this visitor!! Her nest her choice,maybe Beau will return as a Hero and chase him away!!😅 As long she is happy best of luck !! Wish this season will be a success without fights!!🩷
Time will tell what happens here for sure. I have my thoughts but will keep them to myself for now. Such a beautiful trio of eagles at this nest, it is truly a gift to watch them. Wishing them all nothing but the best.
Thank you Lady Hawk for the details! Bless Gabby's heart for being so kind to the visitor ❤ My prayers are with all of them. And my heart is sad for Beau 😢 I trust that God and Mother Nature will take care of all of them ❤
Thank you for your detailed explanation. 🥰 I can't help but feel sympathy for the visitor because of foot. 😭 But it's better for Gabby to choose Beau young, healthy, handsome. The role of dad is hard work, that can be Beau. I'll keep an eye on them. ❤❤❤
Thankyou so very much for your Beautiful explanation Dear Lady Hawk ❤...We are all a little perplexed and baffled by all that's going on ...Like all Dear friends, We wouldn't want to see fights, battles and injuries....its the waiting game .... We keep our continued prayers and Positivity for a Wonderful success and safe outcome....One thing for sure is The Hamlet needs Babies and Hansom Beau sure would make a lovely Dad ....🙏💙🦅...Greatly appreciate your Video Dear Lady Hawk, Sending you big hugs and wishing you and all Friends a Beautiful Blessed Thursday ♥️🦅💙🙏🌻🌹🥰🤗💫
@@kawaiipack3063 Good Thursday my dear friend Kawaii 💙🤗 Thankyou kindly ❤️🦅 There may be things we don't see away from the Cams understandably, Let's hope all turns out into a Great season ..Its all down to Gabrielle ❤️🦅 May they all keep safe..Sending you hugs and my Warmest Regards dear friend take care .....Always goid to see and read you 🌟🦅🤗🌹🙏
@@serapmehmet3346Most welcome,love your post,I was thinking Beau needs to be more manly and works on his mating skill😅 If she keeps flirting,Beau needs to keep an eye on her!!😂 Hope you have a great day❤
Gabrielle has picked Beau to bond with. While no eggs/chicks the perseverance of the V is tolerated by her. No need to fight at this point. Beau is aware of him, he’s been here a long while. Unlike Golden eagles, bald eagles tend to be more tolerant of visitors in the “off” season in my experience observing both species. Beau has defended against 14 visitors, been here nearly two years, bonded and had eggs with Gabrielle. Thank you so much for coverage and input Lady Hawk. God bless this Eagle Family.
Not sure they ever bonded. If they did she wouldn’t be consistently hanging out with another male she has mated with. She never did this when she was with Samson. Time to consider Gabby may have chosen this guy
Good summary LH, it is easy to get to anthropormorphic about them, especially with human names, but only one things matters with this and that is more eagles at the end of the season, that is how nature works.
Thank you Lady Hawk for the excellent commentary. This is nature at its finest and I’m all for the journey, I hope his toes heal and he finds a mate, he seems very loyal for sure. Thank you again always,🦅🦅. I might add, what a gorgeous tree!
Nice thank you for explaining that to us now I understand I do remember last season about her meeting with someone else, but I hope all is well and Beau more frequently and they bond and start the nesting season. I would love to see them both.!❤
Yes I agree the explanation was very good, I completely forgot she had mated with one last season, and I definitely wouldn’t have ever figured out that this was the same male! And yes I’d also love to see Gabby and beau! 🤞, but I do also hope this eagles toes heal nicely and soon, so he can be on his way 😂
Am I mistaken or does the injured visitor’s talons look improved? I hope Beau wins again this year over other suitors for Gabby. I just love him 🦅❤️. But we will wait to see. To male eagles really like Gabby. She must be a catch because males really seem to like her. Maybe she’s more charismatic in the eagle world, lol. Thank you, ❤️ Lady Hawk, for the very good info about what’s happening right now. I was getting ready to scold Gabby!
This eagle is too persistent. It seems to me that Gabby won't choose Beau. I am sorry 😢 I managed to fall in love with him. Thanks a lot for your video!❤
I like him. So does Gabby. I dont call him Ugly Foot Dude - I call him Ufda - its a Swedish expression and fits him, I think. He's mature and knows how to treat a lady. I confess I hope Gabby chooses him this year.
She seems to really like this guy. I watched them arrive this morning as she followed him in. They are very comfortable with each other. I feel for Beau but Gabby knows best. I feel like she could have a great season with this guy
Gabby mated with this visitor last year, then Beau spent so much time chasing him away that he couldn’t get his hormones in check. I hope this season is better but ultimately it’s up to Gabby ….
So, it looks as though the number II and number III dactyls of the sinister metatarsal are possibly infected? With the number II dactyl slightly necrotic in appearance perhaps? If so, is there anything that can be done for him? Can they bag him and treat him before the infection leads to an inability to hunt, with death following shortly thereafter? Is it as bad as all that? I have not observed this eagle before, it's been a minute since I've been by. Thank You as ever LAdy Hawk!
I am not speculating whatsoever dear Lady Hawk but this is what I can see 👀🙈😜 Gabby and Visitor look awesome and very, very comfortable together 😊❤🦅🦅🌲🤩 Visitor is incredibly handsome and mature 😍 I think this necrotism on his foot 🦶 has stopped and what we can observe not the first season he is doing quite well and no any sign of his declining is visible 😊👍❤🦅 I would like to see progress in Beau's behaviour to prove his maturity and show he is genuinely ready to be protector, father and food provider 💓🙏 Gabby needs this not to swing between and be in constant duality 😂😅😉😜♥️ Fascinating to watch what is going on here and still one big unknown if we will have first "normal" season with Gabby and Beau 💘🦅🦅😍🌸🧸 Good luck dear hansome and awesome 😎 Beau 🤞♥️🍀 but all the best for characteristic Visitor, too 🤗 Kudos dear Lady Hawk overall for this fascinating footage and narrative 💖💐😍 🍬🍭 🐝🌺💗

Bless their hearts. 🙌🦅🦅🙌 Sending many blessings, fervent prayers, positive energy and all my love to them. 💕🙏💌🙏💕 I wish you a wonderful blessed day, my dearest friend. 🌺🌸💙💙🥰😘❤️❤️🦅💕🙏
Question Ladyhawk - could it possibly be that she chooses this guy but she can’t move on with him because Beau won’t leave?
Gabby is the Queen 💕..she was always pampered by Samson!
She is enjoying her time with this visitor!!
Her nest her choice,maybe Beau will return as a Hero and chase him away!!😅
As long she is happy best of luck !!
Wish this season will be a success without fights!!🩷

Thank you, L.H, for the explanation on the visitor and Beau, we all want whats best for all concerned ❤
What a terrible problem to have. So many suitors 😊. Gabrielle knows what she's doing.
Oh that's so painful to the dear visitor eagle. God bless and heal it soon🙏❤
Thank you Lady Hawk for the details! Bless Gabby's heart for being so kind to the visitor ❤ My prayers are with all of them. And my heart is sad for Beau 😢 I trust that God and Mother Nature will take care of all of them ❤
I can't thank you enough for your help with explaining the process to us all..., it really helps for me at least to put this all in context ❤
Thank you for your detailed explanation. 🥰 I can't help but feel sympathy for the visitor because of foot. 😭
But it's better for Gabby to choose Beau young, healthy, handsome.

Ohmy the poor feet of the visitor, sad for him. Hope he does not feel pain 😢
His feet actually look better than they did a few weeks ago. Seems they are healing
I agree with you. His feet do look better. The immunity in the wild is assume! ❤ @CPete-np7xj
OMGOSH I love the thumbnail and when Gabby and the Visitor fly jnto the nest tree with those vocals and the faces they make in the dark! 😂😂

Yes, I wasn't sure if his talons look somewhat better or if it's just the lighting.
@@LaurieFloodTeacher that’s a good point, Laurie. Knowing gabby he’ll be back and we can look again, lol.

@@shepqherd5803 I like him too. But really what matters is what Gabby thinks and she seems to like him too
👆🏻🔝 🦅 Team Beau ✨️ but no ill feelings towards "IT" (injured toes). Thank you LH for jogging our memory 👍🏻

@@TaylorSykesInFL agree! This is more than “tolerating” him. She seems to actually like him and enjoys his presence.
I think Gabby has made up her mind. She doesn't seem to dislike this beautiful guy.

Clearly she likes this eagle. It’s undeniable
It doesn’t look to be painful but don’t know for sure. Don’t know if it is fight injury or birth defect.
Aww . poor guy just wants to find a GF . he's lonely and just wants to be loved . to bad she's takin cuz he's a good looking guy for the most part !!
