Birds and Nature

Around noon mst I checked in and saw both Bald Eagle parents in the nest.  Dad was taking a turn at feeding the chicks.  However he must not have done enough feeding as mom took over feeding chicks after dad flew out of nest.   A few minutes later he flew back in to the nest and vocalized.  He stayed for about 15 min not doing anything but spending time there then flew off again.  Interesting to see the real lives (this is true reality tv) of Bald Eagles.  SeEtta

6pm-dad just brought in fresh food-a large fish-dropped it in the nest and flew. Now mom is feeding babies and herself fish.  6:15-dinner over and mom tries to cover chicks with her body.  However the oldest is often able to wiggle out and sometimes the others do too.  SeEtta

I swear that the oldest nestling Bald Eagle grew 6 inches overnight.  It looks really large today and is now moving around the nest away from mom.  SeEtta
