7:18 am Simba moves close to Cookie. Don't mean this to be disrespectful to Cookie in any way. I really think Cookie needs to go over the edge. There are far too many flies and bugs (could also be maggots) on the nest due to Cookie being there. It would much healthier for Simba if Cookie were not on the nest. I'm still heart broken that we lost Cookie. At the same time I want Simba to be healthy. These flies need to go!

7:50 am Simba is still awake. Calling out now and then. Just waiting for breakfast. Hope he gets some. He didn't eat much yesterday.

This is really a lovely nest. Maggot are also a cleaning agent . Doctors use them in wound cleanig and cleaning our debris. They only gravitate to dead material. They are actually cleaning the nest. They are not gravitating to simba. They only feed and clean out dead material. Natures natural cleaner. Who knew.

Also when one of the parents brings in those awful sticks and not food. That stick is helpful for eaglets to learn to balance. Before they fledge and then spend the rest of their lives on a branch.

8:31 am Simba is eating good this morning. He's right there by Shadow's feet grabbing bites as fast as Shadow can pull them off the fish.

8:36 am Shadow is blocking the view again. I can tell by those happy little sounds that Simba is making that he is eating well! This is absolutely wonderful to see. Even if the view isn't good. I know he is eating well this morning.
