Ready for round 2. Holy smokes!

Make sure you spot that landing! B16 landed on the rails.

Round 3: Quite impressive moves you've got there, B16! 16 landed on the rails again. After B16 had enough excitement, s/he would lie down for another rest.

Dad brought in a fish. Mum was quick to get to the nest, and after a bit of alerting by Dad, she moved in to take possession. As Mum and B16 began to dig in for the much welcomed meal, something caught the attention of all three Berry eagles. Dad did a bit of aerating and headed out. That bit of fish was gone in no time.

Enjoying the golden hour.

B16 found a morsel of something and it peeked Mum's interest.

Mum just had to know! B16 and Mum passed this morsel back and forth about a dozen times before 16 was the one who would downed it.

B16 still has no interest in eating "Taba" the squirrel.

Mum had departed and B16 decided it was a great time to get any extra energy out before night fall. 16 did some wingersizes, jump-flaps, running around and digging in the rails.

Mum came in for a very quick session of cuddle time before she flew off to Dad's night time perch for some bonding.

B16 had "tucked in" before Mum had left to go to Dad's perch. S/he remains that way as of this posting. Good night, B16.

Goodnight B16, Mom, Dad. I know you are close by and B16 is a almost grownup eaglet.
Goodnight all…bonjour Philjo.
