Thanks DM. Lady Legacy was a beautiful eagle.

The male eagle chose a "new" mate last September. Sadly she was killed by a power line in January 2012. Since then he has been following his instincts to build a nest and produce offspring. He has been regularly mating with three different five-year old eagles, but no eggs have been produced, perhaps because they are too young. The three female eagles take turns coming to the nest for a couple of weeks, and then a new one appears and the other one disappears. I even registered for e-mail alerts and they e-mail me every time anything exciting happens. I think I'll submit an application for "My Weird Addiction".
