Looks like the Pritchett's have decided on what to call M15's partner. Evidently, they decided against giving them human names. This nest gave them names until one of the eaglets died, then they decided to name the adult eagles "F or M, " followed by the year the adult arrived. Eaglets are "E" followed by their numerical order. 

So, M15's new mate is now F23. I personally don't think a human name makes us anthropomorphize them more than a number, but that's just my opinion. 🤷‍♀️

It would have been nice to have names, but in my experience once I name a wild animal (even in my head) I become more attached.  It hurts more if something happens to them.
