Cont'd ... At 8:13 pm Mom got up to attempt another feed 2021-04-21 8-13 pm.jpg But aside from a few unenthusiastic bites by SR5 she didn't really have any takers. Other than getting up for a PS, SR6 barely moved h/h head. 2021-04-21 8-23 pm.jpg Mom tucked them in at 8:26 pm 2021-04-21 8-26 pm.jpg

Continuing from JudyB's last post ..... SR5 finally quit eating at 7:04 pm 2021-04-21 7-04 pm.jpg and for all intents and purposes, SR6 had a solo feeding - look at that crop! (click 2x) - with only one small interruption by SR5 from then until ..... 2021-04-21 7-14 pm.jpg Mom finally packed it in a...

8:10 pm SR5 finally came up for air leaving the way clear for SR6

Feed over at 8:17 pm mom heads for the bowl

Mom tucked the kids in for the night. Both went to bed with full crops tonight!

Cont'd .....

Mom returned to the nest at 7:42 pm. The kids were still sleeping.
SR6 was the first to notice that Mom was back

and managed to sneak in one bite before SR5 took over.

9:51 pm Res left the nest at 5:41pm after the feed reported by JudyB. 2021-04-20 5-41 pm.jpg 5:44 pm It must have been a reasonably successful feed as SR6 has a nice sized crop for a change and of course SR5 does too. 2021-04-20 5-44 pm.jpg 7:20 pm Comfortably full the chicks settled down for a nice...

Cont'ds .... 8:33 pm Mom tried a couple of times to feed the kids but there was nothing more than feathers and bones - not really suitable for small chicks. SR5 had a few questionable bites while SR6 remained on the sidelines. 2021-04-19 8-33 pm.jpg 8:49 pm After the second unsuccessful try at findi...

Cont'd..... 7:55 pm Sur looked for food for about 10 minutes defeathering anything he could find but there was nothing there so he moved on to sit with the chicks. 2021-04-19 7-55 pm.jpg Mom arrived back at 8:22 pm and she and Sur had a conversation. 2021-04-19 8-22 pm.jpg Sur left at 8:23 pm. 2021-...

11:30 pm Checking back to JudyB's last post on the DVR - Mom arrived back to the nest at 6:31 pm. She attempted to feed the kids. What little there was went to SR5. 2021-04-19 6-31 pm.jpg SR6 remained in submission for the entire feed which ended at 6:55 when Mom flew. 2021-04-19 6-55 pm.jpg Sur arr...

Mom flew in at 7:57 pm with something black

7:58 pm Dad left almost immediately

8:22 pm Feed over and it looks like SR6 might have got some bites as h/s has a bit of a crop

Cont'd.... Kids not interested in what she had to offer, Mom left at 7:04 pm 2021-04-18 7-04 pm.jpg Dad flew in 10 minutes later - he didn't have any food with him either. Neither parent seems to be having much luck though not for the lack of trying I suspect.. 2021-04-18 7-14 pm.jpg Dad tried his t...

Mom came back at 6:21 and SR5 in a hurry to get under Mom climbed right over SR6

At 6:44 pm Mom was up and looking for food again.

Cont'd ..... Res returned at 5:39 pm and wandered around looking for food. 2021-04-18 5-39 pm.jpg She left again at 6:02. I don't think she found much to feed the chicks though it looked like she tried 2021-04-18 6-02pm.jpg Kids went to sleep right in the middle of all the garbage - sure wish the ad...

Cont'd.... 6:57 pm Res offers the kids the new food item. 2021-04-17 6-57 pm.jpg From what I could tell from the thumbnails, by 7:20 pm neither chick was interested in eating any more, so Mom helped herself. 2021-04-17 7-21 pm.jpg Mom finished eating at 7:32 and joining the chicks, she worked on the...

2:45 pm Looking back on the DVR ..... The meal that was going on when JudyB signed out was over at 6:12 pm. (Sorry I didn't watch it, so don't know who did what or got what.) Parent (I think Mom?) settled with the chicks until she left at 6:20 pm. 2021-04-17 6-13 pm.jpg 6:20 pm Mom getting ready to ...

An update from Denise Foster as to the happenings at French Creek: Sadly, as you may have guessed, our favourite French Creek eagle pair seem to have taken a hiatus from egg laying this year. They're still using the new nest they built at the Marina (and defending it). It's possible they may have bu...

5:27 am Mom up for a stretch
5:28 am Some early morning preening

5:39 am And she's off leaving a puddle of grey in the middle of the nest bowl!

4:51 am One moment of calling out earlier this evening - Dad answered so probably nothing more than a conversation. The rest of the night has been peaceful.
