Sue McCreadie Reports:

Just came back from Fruitland.  Athena was in the drum when we arrived and Dad was in the tower.  He made a couple of feeble attempts at a Crow that was too close for comfort.  He then joined Mom inside the drum and there they sat for the next hour.  Finally Athena came out of the drum alarm calling and settled into the tower.  A few seconds later she took off in a hurry to chase off a juvenile Bald Eagle who was leisurely soaring through.  She then disappeared to the North and for the rest of our visit she never returned.  We checked the drum from down the road, but nothing was visible except Dad down in incubation mode.
