I was surprised that Juliette flew out with Romeo to greet me. It was so good to see her! She’s been avoiding me.She can be temperamental at times.
Notice how Juliette is on top.She knocked Romeo off that spot.She does bully him from time to time.

Bully birds!
I see bullying by bears,wolves ….basically all animals.Which makes me think its normal across the board.Might be a way of filtering out the weak?
Stunning.
The light went bye bye.So the colours are subdued.I missed all the shots I took of them landing unfortunately.
What a majestic and beautiful couple!
I love when they both come over to visit!
Wow! Beautiful couple and amazing view! Thank you for sharing!
thank you !
Had to share, love this shot, Wayne!
glad you liked it Jacquie!
It’s good to be in charge sometimes! They make an attractive pair – they were happy to see you, so they posed together.
which is surprising for Juliette as she flew away twice just weeks ago!
I think you had a post that said that she was not staying around, but taking off.
yes,to be honest that did hurt my feelings.Eagles do have emotions,so their actions to speak.
Wasn’t that the occasion, or right afterward, that you had someone with you in the boat? Perhaps Juliette prefers you visit solo as that is what she is accustomed to.
Well if thats true than why did she reject me when I was by myself? Eagles are like people,they have their own reasons for doing things.
Maybe Juliette was distracted by something else and it momentarily took away her concentration of interacting with you; I’m sure that is the reason, rather than simply rebuffing you.
no,it was very very clear what she felt like at that time.There are some Eagles who I’ve never been able to get close to.They each have unique personalties just like humans. Some days a person is grumpy to you but for the rest of the time they treat you very nice.Who knows the reasons why?
That’s interesting that perhaps Juliette (or some other eagles) are simply moody. It’s also possible that Juliette saw you paying (what she perceives to be) more attention to another eagle, maybe a female – maybe a male, than you paid to her and thus you are paid back in her mind’s eye. I didn’t realize that eagles were so complex in their thinking, but I’ve commented to you and others that the term “bird brain” is not accurate nor fair as a label for our feathered friends, whether they are domestic or wild. Birds are more intelligent than we give them credit for. The larger the bird, the bigger the brain, the more intelligent – look at parrots or cockatiels. My friend Ann Marie tells me they repeat one phrase to her Amazon Grey a couple of times and it is in its “phrase bank”. In fact sometimes it won’t stop repeating a new phrase.
they all are a mystery to me!
A magnificent couple – how do you tell them apart? Have they had babies?
The females have a larger head.The only way you can really tell is when they are perched beside each other.
They do not have eaglets yet.That’ll be early next year.
Beautiful….. I love how you give names to these beautiful creatures, as if you know them personally!!
I do
