11:41pm.......Rey just left the nest again.......I can hear loud vocals from close by so he's likely in the tree, or near it.

Our pair seems to be taking turns protecting the chicks today as the crows have been a pest and even dive-bombing the nest, but mostly harassing the adults.

I think Rey brought another black mass of seaweed in, which Brit has been moving around the nest. I'd like to see her drop it over the edge altogether, to be honest. Rey's instinct is to keep his young chicks protected, as they are now too big to be brooded.

I've got the streams running while I get some chores done around the house.

1238 - Brit is on protection duty currently.

1:29 pm in rollback, Brit had been in the nest, watching her eaglets and the world go by. Then she flew.

2:58 pm in rollback, Brit returns and sits in the shade with her eaglets watching from the nest. Forgot to mention, Brit pulls that black seaweed around the nest a bit. Then she flies.

3:05 pm in rollback, I think this is Rey coming into the nest. He pokes around and gives the eaglets a few bites.

3:10 pm in rollback, Rey (if I am right) is feeding the smaller eaglet and taking some bites for himself.

3:13 pm in rollback, now both eaglets are lined up for food. Can hear the little squees as both get some food.

3:18 pm in rollback, the bites looked small but Rey continued to offer those bites to both eaglets. The meal is over and Rey is watching for something off nest.

3:20 pm in rollback, after a bit of watching, Rey flies. The larger eaglet is napping as the smaller eaglet is up and watching too.

3:29 pm in rollback, Rey comes to the nest, followed by Brit. She brought some food but can't tell what it is. She begins to feed her eaglets as Rey flies.
