It reminds me of the time my late husband and I had a disagreement over a really ugly deacon's bench his mom gave to us.

I won.

my brother slid his car on ice and mowed down what looked like a hand-made wooden mail box structure.....the guy who emerged from the house was so happy about it, he said his father-in-law made it and he absolutely HATED IT....he had my brother pay for a standard mail box and that was the end of it

Males are smaller and there's a thing about the beak that indicate that the male is the one who gets on the stick in the end.

The Decorah, Iowa eagle cam and one day, didn't see the genesis of the squabble but the male had been gone and not responding to the "I need a break!" call for some time. When he finally came back with a fish for the little ones, who weren't all that little by then, she waited for a moment for him to put it down and she grabbed that fish and nearly swallowed it whole! He stood there and watched. By the time he could gather himself, she took off, left him there with three hungry kids to deal with.



These cameras are amazing, the things you could never know about these amazing birds without them.
