The current temp. at the nest is: 50 and no rain seen on radar.
(Mama looks like she's ready for a nice sun-spa day!)

There was some bonking... but Papa took care of that by offering the "bonker" some more food!
2:37pm - Papa again stops the feeding and vocals more alerts!

2:38pm - After Papa stopped his vocal alerts, he goes over to one of the eaglets and picks up a piece of food off from it's body.
Papa took a hold if that piece and helped the eaglet get it down. The eaglet got the stringy piece of fish down okay...and Papa looked at his eaglet closely to make sure it was!
Both eaglets got fed and it was a peaceful feeding. (Peaceful because each were getting full!)

5:10pm - Papa got up from brooding his eaglets and is tracking something and being very vocal!
Ch'aak' & Anaaski know what to do when they hear that kind of vocal and have lowered themselves deep into the nest bowl.

5:25pm - Papa is now "talking" and not alert vocalizing...
Ch'aak' & Anaaski are peeking out of the nest bowl a little now. Papa checks his eaglets and then lays down over them.

5:25am - Mama slowly and carefully gets up from brooding Ch'aak' (4) & Anaaski (5)...
(Ch'aak' (4) is the eaglet closest to Papa) But wait! ...Mama goes over to the same spot and uncovers another (and slightly larger) fish!
(Red dots show the location of the 2 fish now.)

8:42am - Mama was sitting peacefully when...out pops an eaglet from under her!
Not sure which eaglet this is, but it looks up a Mama like it's telling her "I'm ready to get up now!"
Well... that didn't work... so the eaglet waits...
