A friend of mine watches the Maine nest. He recorded and was telling me that the female eagle was attacked by another eagle a couple weeks ago. Since the attack, she is seldom seen at the nest and when she is, only for short periods. Dad is the dedicated one by incubating the egg that is left. Some are saying that the egg(s) is non-viable from being exposed so long in the cold right after the attack. I guess it was left unattended for almost a day and dad would leave it for periods of time to go hunt for food. If viable, the egg(s) in the nest should hatch the end of April or first part of May.
