Hello Sunday eagle peeps! EEs are in nest tree. E17, closest to camera is very vocal E18 is just watching area. Is hiding behind E17's head on outer branch.
9:45 am

9:46 am

There's E18
9:55 am

Both EEs become excited and very vocal! E17 takes off like a bullet! Exit stage left.

[Sunnybird1995]

They look very focused now.
Waiting for the next food drop?
I''m guessing that E17 is closest to Cam and then E18.
I'm just happy to get them both in the same s'cap these days.

E17 is found over on ground west pasture. I would think an adult, arrived over there. But alas no food drop E17, stands on the ground, for a few minutes. Then flies off. Exit stage right...
10:02 am

Two beautiful EEs sitting in the nest tree. Side by side as close as can be.
12:24 pm

See what a bit of food does. The EEs are not so cranky toward each other.
12:25 pm

I thought for sure E17 would leave today, after E18 wanting her space yesterday. Then spending the night alone in branch under the nest. Thank you sweet pea for hanging around a bit longer . It's a hot day in the pasture 85° .

Hi Lovinnature. E15 cured me of expecting the EEs to leave on any given day.

17 & 18 each have 96 days to go before they're as old as the Pond Princess when she cut out on Nov. 2nd.
