Observation details
At chick age 4 weeks, with another Little Eagle high overhead, the nest-attending female bobbed and peered up, while giving repeated three-note calls occasionally interspersed with rapid ‘bubbly’ piping calls, then left the nest, followed by distant two- and three-note calls. The male parent then arrived to stand on the nest with the chick. This event is interpreted as the female defending the territory against an intruding Little Eagle while the male guarded the chick. The chick was also videoed pooping over the nest rim
