Lake Casitas Eagles: Nesting Pair "Hannah" and "Mr. Majestic"

My shots of the Lake Casitas bald eagle pair taken in Feb/Mar 2024 in Ojai, CA. At the time, two eggs were believed to be in the nest with hatch expected in late March. Stay tuned . . .
Background on the Lake Casitas Eagles:
The original Female (CF1) and Male (Mr. Majestic, CM1) were spotted at Lake Casitas in the fall of 2010 as sub-adults; too young to breed. They had two successful clutches in 2013 and 2014. During hatching of the 2015 eggs, a female intruder removed the hatchlings and ousted the original female. This intruder became the new female at Lake Casitas (CF2). The current resident female, Hannah (CF3), fostered the 2020 chick after CF2 died from a territorial dispute. From 2013 to 2023, there have been a total of 16 hatchlings with 14 fledges.
