[Suemac]

1302 E21 lays down with a full crop. E22 slowly inches toward M15.

1303 E22 gets a bite of fish.

1303 E21 does not want to share and bites E22's wing and E22 goes submissive.

[Suemac]

1307-1313 M15 to the attic calls for Harriet

[TaraTrac]

E 22 slowly made maneuvers on the rails to get fed while 21 was resting. M got 2 bites into 22, but 21 wasn't having it and that was the end of that. M flew up to the attic and was vocal. E 22 started trying to eat some nestovers, but 21 put a stop to that too. Still half a fish left.

[Suemac]

1322-1325 E22 searching for nestovers and trying to swallow dried pieces too big

1325 E22 picks up a fresh nestover nd tries to swallow it...

1325 E21 ruthless and aggressive and holds E22 down

[TaraTrac]

Thank you for the scaps Suemac!

1328 E22 walks away from E21 and the fish.

1330 E21 lays down by fish.

1330 E22 on south rail holding the small dried out fish head.
E22 wants to eat... sure hope he/she will soon.

1418 E22 pecks at fish. M drops to nest to feed

1426 E21 bites E22's wing and E22 submits and E21 is getting fed again

1428 Eagle flying around area.

[TaraTrac]

E21 is zonked out (for the moment anyway) and M is in the attic observing. E 22 is self-feeding on the fish! 22 is learning how to use its foot to hold down the fish while tearing off pieces. Way to go 22!

1448 E21 on rail. M aerated nest and sitting in nest. E22 squeeing for food
but will not move closer to M15.

1449 M15 vocal and to attic.

1450 E22 goes to fish and is self feeding- getting small bites.
E22 is holding fish down with talons and pulling with beak.
How sad that E22 is afraid to go to his parent to be fed..

Here is a s'cap showing E22 pulling off a piece of fish that TaraTrac posted about! (Thanks TaraTrac!)
(Red dot is the piece of fish in E22's beak and then... E22 swallowed it @ 2:53pm.)

2:55pm - E22 picked up this large piece of fish (bone) and then had to drop it.
(E22 is learning a good lesson today...she/he must try to get food no matter what!)

1454 E22 self feeding the best he/she can. E21 eventually stops E22 from trying to get food.

1508 Both preening. E22 left and E21 right.

1511 M15 windsurfing and doing the best he can to care for his babies.

[Suemac]

1514 M stretches neck and sees something.

1516 Looks like vulture flying across street. M flies east and then back to upper perch.

1517 M flies east again and back to upper perch again.

[Suemac]

1540- 1541 E22 is determined working on fish.
Probably expending more energy than what the fish is giving,
but maybe getting some fluid benefits.

1553 M15 leaves upper perch and flies southeast.

check back later. Please come home Harriet!

16:05 PM…M arrives with another fish, E21 reaches over E22
to get to the food.

16:11.. E21 gets a bite…E22 submissive but always learning

16:23 Pm.. M very vocal. I checked the CAM 2 but didn’t see anything
He is truly magnificent

Please come home Harriet
