I haven't seen any coot brought to the Berry College nest recently. They have probably migrated away from the area now that it's warming up... We should be seeing a lot more fish brought to the nest. I watched tonight as Mom brought a big clump of grass to the nest:
I think the older eaglet is going to stay a lot larger than the younger eaglet. My thinking is the first hatch is a female and the second is a male...
I put together some video of Mom delivering that grass to the nest. Then a short time later, she delivers a prey item to the nest. They all take turns trying to eat too-big bites! (7:09)
Here are links to three videos of the Southwest Florida resident male (Ozzie) who is getting treatment for broken bones. Hopefully, he will be released back into the wild the end of April.
