"Sticking" the Landings - ETSU Bluff City Nest of Franklin & Frances (10/22-10/23)

Okay, hear me out... I am entirely convinced that Franklin & Frances have a little contest going on to see who can bring in the most impressive branch. Just look at some of these whoppers... and the graceful, pole-vaulting skills that are involved with bringing them in.
Do yourself two favors while watching this video:
1. Rewatch some of those fly-ins, in slow-motion
2. Make sure to catch the hilarity that takes place starting around 8:46, when an obnoxious little friend stops by to cause a little distraction
As a reminder, here are the prominent event dates from last season at the ETSU Bluff City nest
Eggs Laid: 1/28/24, 1/31/24
Hatches: 3/6/24, 3/8/24
RIP BC25: 3/23/24
Fledge BC24: 6/1/24

(Please note: If there is no audio or poor/jarring audio on a cam or in a recording, I will add music. If there is nice, ambient sound throughout the clips, I'll leave it alone - no music. Always remember, you can mute the video if the music bothers you. This decision comes from considering the majority of comments & feedback.)

No matter how many times you watch them do this each season, it's always amusing. You also can't help but be amazed at how they do what they do! 💕😊

[@WingsOfWhimsy]

I'm always so fascinated by their building skills, and watching them size everything up with such purpose. Every stage of the season is amazing, but this is just such a fine display of their incredible skill.

Those sticks brought in are impressive! It looked so funny that one stick flying in then you see the eagle!! Lol!! I watched that three times! This is the fun time, the stick wars, nestorations, the breaking and pulling of feathers! Thank you Wings!! I just love your videos!

Thanks Maggie. These two have been on point this season & off to such a beautiful start. Those sticks.... are they tearing apart a cabin, or what??
