Surrey Reserve 2023-2024 Observation and Discussion

[Jean]

3:16pm...So happy to see SR9 out in the open and doing so well! Rey is stepping into his role as father and supporter of Brit. Thanks to everyone for your posts detailing SR9's first day.

IN on both cams.


Hi Linuxgw2! Great to see you here!

3:06 pm in rollback, Jean, I can post about the change of the guard and the feeding. You won't have to worry about the rollback. OK?

[Jean]

3:23pm..From the rollback......Brit is back. There was a COTG at 3:04pm. Rey of course was a bit reluctant but he did get up and leave. Brit had a feeding session with the chick before coming to lie down with h/h.

Oops sorry Sandy......already done.

[Jean]

3:25pm.....From the rollback......Little eaglet was offered several tiny bits and it looked like the chick did receive many of them. This may end up being the best fed eaglet ever.

No worries, Jean. Brit looked to be pulling some very old leftovers. But she managed to get some bites for SR9. He/she looks so much stronger this afternoon with the passage of time and some food. Someone needs to bring in food for the pantry.

[Jean]

3:33pm......Happy mama.

[Ryan]

Sr9 seems really strong this early ! And we got parents that want to feed often

Rey looked like such a proud dad there with the chick popping out

ANYONE ON THE CAMS??

Oops, never mind, the forum was acting up on me.

Apologies again. I NOW see Jean's post about being on the cams. I need to reboot my computer.

[CC398]

Ok, I cannot tell if someone is in on the cams.

I"m going to log in to move them. I think Brit got chased to the nest. She brought prey.

Apologies for the confusion. I was having computer problems and some posts were not loading and my computer was making a horrible noise. Rebooted and all is fine.

[Jean]

3:51pm....Great commotion as Rey brings in fresh prey!! Brit saw him, called out and jumped from the nest to receive the delivery.

Rey flew off immediately.

[Jean]

3:54pm....After Rey left Brit dragged the prey to the nest bowl and began to offer bits to the chick.

[Jean]

3:54pm.........The chick seemed to be very strong......using its wings to push with and turn itself around to face Brit.

Egg tooth is very visible here. I will drop off in a few days.

[Jean]

3:55pm.....The chick was offered several bites.............and it looked like it did eat.

Brit dragged the prey, a duck/loon?? across the nest and over the chick. But the chick popped out and was fine.

[Jean]

3:57pm....After a few bites Brit stopped offering food and has now come back down by SR9.

[Jean]

SR9's first feeding and very vocal!
