As per Lowe's post, after Mr/Mrs got to the nest, he left quickly. She almost immediately sounded distressed. At one point, she mantled over the fish. A bit later, two ravens flew off. She has been sounding distressed ever since.

She cries for over an hour trying to protect the nest and her fish.

Here is a video created by yellodogg and put on YouTube that has 8 minutes of the most compelling action:

Here is a picture of a 2 year old Juvie. I would think it's really hard to determine while they are flying, but interesting to see the pictures.

Here is a picture I found of a 3 year old juvenile for comparison to adult

These are the last two I was able to get. An adult is talon locked with the juvie.
