E is now ready for the duck hunt!
E goes to the top of the CSPS to take off!
E flies down...legs down...talons ready...(red dot)
E get's very close to the water and then flies up and towards the left!
No duck...but the E was so close to the water that the water was rippling right
at the spot where E flew up and away from the water!
The ducks are in the water and to the left of the scap...out of cams view.

Duck hunting continued...!
Here is a scap that shows the water ripple from where the E flew close to the water!
(Yellow dot shows where the water ripple is...click onto the scap to enlarge the scap to see the ripple better)
What an awesome try E! One day, soon, you will be a pro hunter and you will get your duck-breakfast!
E flew back to the CSPS and lands next to the other E.

10:30am - Some close up views of E10 this morning. Beak looks healed.
There's just a little bump over the healed area now.
Looks like a little fish scale is still on E10 beak!
The wind is letting us see what is under those dark head feathers! (Downy feathers)
E10 is 119 days old today!

1:15pm - M15 brings a fish to the nest where E10 and E11 were in the nest.
E11 and E10 rush to the nest edge making it impossible for M15 to land and he and E11 falls out of the nest.
E10 is at the right.
E10 is able to stay on the nest and grabs the fish
E10 holds onto the fish (red dot) and takes it to the middle of the nest.

E11 lands on branch below nest and M15 flies to the OCT.
Both are okay!
