Harrison Bay Eagles, Northeast Florida Eagles Day 37&39, Southwest Florida Eagles Day 3&4 Fresh Fish & Sibling Rivalry, Upper Mississippi River Eagles, Loch of the Lowes Tracking Update

I made the rounds at a bunch of nests today. Here's some s'caps:

I caught a nest exchange at the Harrison Bay nest. This is Dad leaving.

The Northeast Florida Eaglets are growing by the day. Look at those feet!

Zoomer read my mind. Look at that foot!!

Dad brought a live fish to the nest today at the Southwest Florida nest.

As soon as the fish felt Dad hop away, it began to flop around, trying to escape. Mom got to the fish first. But look in the upper left hand corner of this s'cap. Dad was coming right back to get it.

I observed some sibling rivalry a the nest today too. Since the food is plentiful at this nest, it should subside soon. Here, one of the babies is putting the smack-down on the other, with a beakful of neck.

I put together a video from the Southwest Florida nest today. Fresh Fish & Sibling Rivalry (6:50).

One of the Upper Mississippi River trio was laying in the nest again today, forming the nest bowl. I think we may see an egg here soon... There is no information on their site regarding what date eggs were laid last year. So, we can only guess by their behavior...

There is a tracking update for the Loch of the Lowes Osprey.
