7:10 am - Had the W Cam on the nest watching Trooper and the chicks...by the time I got back to check on Ma on the port pole she was gone....just looked around and she is not in any of the regular places....maybe she is down by the water getting herself a fish or a bath or something.


Good Morning Sandy! Thanks for stopping in. Yes, these chicks love to wrestle. But they are both doing it and it doesn't seem too rough...but definitely think they need to be fed at this point to calm them down
Good morning Sue
I agree one hundred percent. Keep them fed and they will sleep and stop bonking. I think Trooper is nervous feeding the chicks and is happier keeping them covered till Ma returns. Nervous Pa...

Sandy, I have to agree, there was a feeding but not much food was eaten....the front chick may have gotten a few bites, but the other one had not and really did not seem interested when Ma offered food to h/h.

7:52 am - one of the Tower eagles is standing up on their nest....the wind is really bad and they seemed to be getting knocked off balance quite a bit

7:58 am - Ma was up and feeding at least one of the chicks...again, lots of bonking and the other chick didn't get any bites but only a couple for the one chick this time.

Although it looks like the 2nd chick may have had a chance at this piece...I just don't remember them eating it....I just looked back and the poor chick got bonked just as they were ready to take the bite so they did not get it.

8:24 am in rollback, Trooper comes into the nest with some more stalks and then flies.

8:24 am in rollback, Ma is up to feed her chicks some rabbit. It looked like both chicks got bites and must day, some large ones so they are beginning to handle a larger bite. Some bonking happened but one didn't seem dominate over the other one as it went both ways.
