More Christmas Day celebrations by the eagles near Lock & Dam 13. Photos by Dennis Becht & used with permission.
It's a great event to get outside and enjoy nature. I find it very exciting no matter how many times I see bald eagles.

Notice in this last picture one of the eagles is standing on food & you will see him in alot of the next 14 pictures standing on his food to guard it or is eating it. It's a great event to get outside and enjoy nature. I find it very exciting no matter how many times I see bald eagles.

Aerial tandem tricks provided by an adult & juvie eagle for the other eagles' Christmas entertainment. (I did not see food in either's talons.) It's a great event to get outside and enjoy nature. I find it very exciting no matter how many times I see bald eagles.

This almost looks like a COVID waiting line for the food. A lot of eagles interested in the food. Time to fly!

Beautiful photo of an eagle standing in the middle of all the broken ice. It's a great event to get outside and enjoy nature. I find it very exciting no matter how many times I see bald eagles.

I am thinking a 2 1/2 to 3 year old eagle in flight here. What a beauty! David said some eagles were fighting over a red headed duck. He forgot the name of the type of duck. I think this may be the duck. A juvie got it, then unfortunately dropped it. These next pictures are the reason why eagle parents teach their babies to protect their food.

The struggle to keep food. Eagles think it is easier to steal food rather than catching it themselves. So keeping food among a lot of eagles is a hard task. (photos taken by David Becht & used with permission).

And the struggle to keep the food continues, no matter who last got it. (photos taken by David Becht & used with permission).

Update from the Stewards shared with permission, 12-30-20
This morning all three were at the nest.
“Eagles: When they walk, they stumble. They are not what one would call graceful. They were not designed to walk. They fly. And when they fly, oh, how they fly, so free, so graceful. They see from the sky what we never see.” – Unknown
Re: Trio of Eagles 2019 - 2020 - 2021
Exciting news. The Trio 2020-2021 cam is live. Now this is different from years past as we will only have a view from afar of the nest. But we should be able to see the Starr and her Valors coming and going.

This is the link to the cam:As promised, we are sharing with you the fixed view we have to monitor the new nest from afar. No additional cameras will be added while the nest is in use.

Re: Trio of Eagles 2019 - 2020
Good morning Phillipe, Joan, and all Trio lovers. The Stewards have gone live with the cam for the Trio eagles so we are moving to a new thread for the upcoming nesting season and locking this thread for any posts. Hope to see you there as we observe these wonderful eagles in their new nest.
