5:41 am both Snowy and Spring come to the nest. They checked it in for any leftover bites of food. Then one flew and one remained in the nest.

5:57 am so Snowy goes to the attic and back to the nest and then up to the roof. And then it is time to fly and explore.

I found this information from a web site called Journey North (https://journeynorth.org/tm/eagle/Exper ... OOZ76_m_EM) Thought the information about fledglings learning to hunt was interesting as Sunny and Spring are now in the learning phase so thought I would share.

Q: Do young eagles learn to hunt from their parents or are their skills innate?

A: An excellent question. Young eagles from wild nests develop their hunting skills on their own, but spend considerable time after they fledge watching their parents and undoubtedly learning by watching what the adults do. The actual skills involved are learned by trial and error, I'm sure. Much of the hunting skill (or at least the drive to hunt) is innate, as our hacked eagles were fledged into an environment without adults around to "teach" or "show" these young birds. Yet, these birds, again through trial and error, learned to hunt for themselves and survive. We felt it was important to continue to provide food at our hacking towers after the eaglets fledged, to give them a source of food for as long as they needed it. Eventually, each eagle at it's own pace, these young birds stopped using our offerings and began foraging on their own. Similarly in the wild, the adult parents will continue to provide food for some time after fledging, while the newly flighted birds hone not only their hunting skills, but there flying skills. On average, I would say it takes about 4-12 weeks for young eagles to start hunting successfully. True, fully refined, specialized hunting skills, probably take years to develop.

6:16 am I think this is Starr who comes to the nest, followed by Spring and Sunny. I am sure sure there was a food delivery though. Starr then flew from the attic branch.

6:55 am doesn't look like Sunny and Spring are eating but just playing in the nest. They maybe staying for a possible food delivery.

7:19 am an adult brought in a fish and one of the fledglings got it while the other stayed on the attic then came down to the nest. Then that fledgling laid down in the nest while the other ate. I cannot tell who we have here. Valor 1...maybe?

7:29 am one of the fledglings finish eating their fish while the other continues to eat. Starr cleans up around the nest and flies.

7:50 am so I think this is Snowy. He finishes what he wants of the fish and leaves it in the nest. Then he goes to the roof.
