It rained at the Harrison Bay Eagle nest too. This Eaglet is trying to dry off.
The other Eaglet comes to the nest.
The two fledglings sang a duet.
Then there was a solo performance.
Playing with a piece of nesting material.
There was a food delivery. These Eaglets have got a pretty impressive mantle.
They are perching on the same branch tonight.
I was so intent on watching the Scottish Wildlife Trust's Loch of the Lowes nest today. I don't want to miss the fledge. Didn't happen today though. They were all facing the cam when I brought up te nest this morning.
A bug crawled across the camera.
I'm not sure what the huddle was all about. Maybe their was a piece of food that they were trying to figure out how to eat. I can't believe these chicks are old enough to fledge and I've never seen them self-feed...
When I first checked on the White Rock nest, both Fledglings were perched near the nest.
Then they shared a branch.
One of the Eaglets hopped/flapped to the nest, barely getting enough height to stick the landing.
The other Eaglet must not have realized there was food in the nest this whole time because it joined its sibling in the nest as soon as it realized there was food.
To share the fish, or not to share the fish... Check out the Neither/Both Want It video. (2:57)
Who ate the fish? Watch the video above...
No reason to stay in the nest.
Look at this big stretch! The right foot is way back with the wing. You can just see it past the foot that is grasping the branch.
The other fledgling.
Reese Lukei posted about Bald Eagle MB's adventures. You can read about it here. Here's a link to Reese's earlier post about this Bald Eagle. This Eagle went about 330 miles (very unscientific estimate "as the Eagle flies") in just over three weeks! That's a wandering spirit! This Bald Eagle may not have made it without human intervention and now it seems to be thriving.
