The Three Post Below were copied from the NCTC start of a New Thread they were not written by me

There are three Updates below this post: Just below is Update 4/1/2011 Below that is Update 3/23/2011 Below that is Update 3/21/2011 Placing them here will hopefully help with the confusion of whether the intruder is a male or a female........it was first believed that the intruder was a "female". Now it is believed to be a "male intruder". Either way Liberty was last seen 3/21/2011 per update they dated he was in good health. You can go to my blog called Nest Of Liberty and Belle to see the last pictures of Liberty seen in the nest on 3/21/2011. That blog will end with those last pictures of a wonderful, beautiful, great mate to Belle and a GREAT DAD TO HIS EAGLETS. If Liberty would return for the 2012 season or before I will start a "new blog for Liberty". Thank you and miss you Liberty. I am still going to be hoping Liberty does return. If he does not and in the next season if Belle excepts the "intruder" as her new mate then I will too. With heart break I will have to accept the "intruder" as the mate Belle chose. As to why she did???? I have no answer nor do I feel that biologist or NCTC has just one answer. They as us are learning new things happening at our nest and with our resident pair of American Bald Eagles. Whom we the "Eaglet-Momsters" have called the male Liberty and the female Belle since the year 2006.
