In the video, Maybelline and M15 are seen bonding and fishing together at Yonder Pond. The video begins with Maybelline swooping down at a fish in the pond then, capturing something in each talon. Identifying the prey was a challenge! Some viewers suggested they were two small freshwater turtles. The video then shows M15 descending from the Yonder Pine Sentry Perch to the water's edge to eat something mysterious. He eventually flies to the top of a house and joins his potential female partner.
In the next scene, Dad lands at the Driveway Side Pond Snag (DSPS) after taking a bath at the property pond. A loggerhead shrike dive bombs him a couple of times, but he remains calm and doesn't leave his perch. He is unaffected by the intruder interfering with his drying/basking time. The following scene shows Dad perched in the attic, as he spots Maybelline quickly approaching. Dad's expression says it all!
I have nicknamed this eagle Maybelline, for identification purposes until SWFEC gives her an official name. At that time, I will refer to her by her official name.
