Spirit and Eole were mated and she laid two eggs in early April. There was a intrusion by an unbanded female April 22nd. There was a nasty fight between the unbanded female and Spirit April 26th. https://youtu.be/NdGdXEIvXNo
Spirit was back at the nest April 27th. Things kind of settled down and Spirit lay another egg May 11th. On June 11th the unbanded female was back and there was no sign of Spirit until she was found the other day.
From what I understand the unbanded female was Eole's mate at another location and is being called Eve.

They call her 'Eve', she is unbanded. He has been two timing for a few years now and this is not the first time Eve had attacked Spirit - she did so last year as well but this year she was determined to win and she did. Spirit is 13 years old now.

Spirit was displaced a few months ago by her rival - Eole's second mate, she was sorely injured and we feared the worst.
Today this news: Breaking News - Spirit has been found and rescued! She's in rough shape, she wasn't able to hunt due to her wounds but she's alive and now she will be cared for!

Alison:
Last year at this nest, there were no chicks. Spirit and Éole incubated four eggs, but close to the end of incubation there was a male intruder, and Éole was displaced. The intruder male was given the name Brett. It seemed that there was also a female intruder at one point, and Spirit had some injuries, but fortunately they did not appear to be serious.
Due to the intruder problem, Spirit was forced to abandon her eggs. Very sad, since they would have been close to hatching.
However, Éole survived his eviction from the nest site, and later in the year was back at the nest with Spirit.
This year Éole and Spirit are still together. There are no eggs so far, but I hope there will be. Spirit is now thirteen years old.
