NCTC Nest - Intruder's Second Visit to the Nest - 1|1|20

Bella was alerting to an intruder in the area yesterday. Earlier this morning an adult intruder tried landing at the nest while Smitty was there and he chased it away. This video is of the second encounter of the morning. The intruder landed in the nest and began digging around. At 2:00 into the video Smitty returns and evicts the intruder. I have included a slow motion portion at the end.

This nest is located at the National Conservation Training Center compound in Shepherdstown, WV. Thanks to NCTC and the Outdoor Channel for providing this live feed. The cam can be viewed at
