Dear Steffani,

Well, maybe that's the reason Pimu has never warmed to Hyde/Na Pe'Eech/Heidi! She didn't like the idea of competition. You know, some females are just jealous to the bone.

What a shock!

A friend of mine has a female parrot and every spring, the bird lays an unfertilized egg, sits on it for a couple of days and seems as happy as can be.

I can't wait to find out what name the Tongva will give "our girl. She will certainly be the most-named bird of the bunch!

Gary's pictures are beautiful. Thanks for sharing them with us.

Terriffic update. Can't wait to see how TH does with their first-ever hatch!

Keep up the good work!!

What a great report! I don't know about eagles, but cockatoos/cockatiels will lay unfertilized eggs for their "special" people. Alger's eggs used to drop (from her perch) shortly after lights went out. I'd hear a clunk and sure enough, would find a warm egg on the bottom of her cage. They didn't always break. Now I keep a toy in the spot where I'd put her eggs. I can't cuddle her too much---cockatoos start panting and sort of quacking any time of year when they bond to their human & are in close contact with them. So...I wonder if Heidi has bonded....to you? I guess she'll need extra calcium now?

Wonderful photos by Gary.

Thanks for the eagle news, Steff.

Jeanette - now we know the secret - what a surprise - HYDE/PEE'ECH IS A GIRL and a beautiful one at that - great job with the pics Gary - Steffani can pack into one day what would take others a week - we had our tour with her - she spent 5 hours taking us everywhere - the only think she would let us do was take her to dinner - what a sweetheart she is and so much knowledge she loves to share - thanks for all your hard work Steffani - we really appreciate you and I know Pete does as well - you are invaluable. I bet Pimu knew the secret all along too - glad Heidi was able to let the rest of the world know.

I'm smiling here thinking of the look on your face when you discovered Heidi's little surprise, Steffani!

Kudos to Gary on his close-up and distance eagle photos. :)^

Well done on keeping the secret, Jennifer and Jeanette.

Ok, call me blonde (which I am LOL!) but I thought the sex of an eagle was determined with a blood test. Why is it that you assumed "Heidi" was a male? Was she not tested?

But great update! And great pics from Gary! Way to go, Gary!

Thanks so much, Steffani!
