Surrey Reserve 2022-2023 Observation and Discussion

[Jean]

4:42pm.....Looks like a good feeding.....one let is getting more than the other but that will likely even out once this one gets full.

[Jean]

4:43pm.....Brit is offering long bones but the eaglet cannot manage that yet so hasn't swallowed any.

[Jean]

4:45pm....Lots of food for both eaglets! And it is great to see no aggression between them either!

[JudyB]

4:45 pm
More bites for the larger one beside Mom Brit now.

Great zooming - and look at those crops!

And smaller one just went after larger one, who backed away from the feeding - but they both have plenty of food for now, and there still appears to be quite a bit left on the food item.

4:51 pm
Both chicks moved to the shade to sleep for a little while.

And I am out for a while now - just so hard to leave.

[Jean]

4:52pm....A good feeding for both.

Full crops on both.

[Jean]

4:55pm....I was too optimistic about the aggression......little eaglet pushed big eaglet across the nest.

[Jean]

4:58pm...Adult has arrived in the nest to have some of the food. Eaglets have shuffled off to the side. Guessing this is Brit, but its just a guess as they seem to have lost the markers I usually use.

[Jean]

5:01pm...Finally a good look at her front....yes this is Brit.

Eaglets are napping now......full crops. Brit is on the nest. Don't know where Rey is. All is well.

OFF cams.

2110 - Rey is in the nest. He must have landed not long ago because the nest was empty when I last looked when I got home 10 mins ago.

I'll check the rollback

[CC398]

from the rollback.

The chicks were napping while Brit watched over them for the most part since Jean's last update.

1824 -The larger chick is carefully making his/her way up and closer to mom and the food, to avoid possible aggression from their feisty smaller sibling. It took a few minutes to make it. They had a nice meal.

I'm going to call it a night. I'm having some connection issues. Brit left at some point and then Rey took over, eventually.

Stay safe Eagles!

SUNDAY, MAY 28, 2023

[JudyB]

Good morning, everyone! nightowl!

SR7 is 27 days old - SR8 is 26 days old

Everything looked peaceful during the night on a very quick look back on the dvr.

The adult (I think Brit but didn't watch long enough to be sure) flew off at 4:43 am.

It's now 5:20 am, and the chicks are sleeping on the nest.

Time for coffee....

[Sandy_W]

5:27 pm in rollback from last night. Brit comes to the nest with a wad of grass and settles in for a quiet night with her little ones.

[Sandy_W]

4:43 am in rollback and as Judy mentioned, Brit flew from the nest.

[Sandy_W]

5:29 am Brit is back to the nest. She is vocalizing. The larger eaglet has a PS.

5:30 am logging into both cams.
