5:45am - Mama seems to be interested in something down below the nest...
Ch'aak' & Anaaski remain sleeping.
Mama is very careful getting up... using her balled-up talons so to not step on her eaglets as she moves away from them.Ch'aak' & Anaaski remain sleeping.

Mama vocals again while Papa checks on his eaglets who seem to still be sleepy... (or could be staying low in the nestbecause of Mama's vocals).

A closeup view of what Mama just delivered the her nest...A plastic bag of some kind!
Mama seems to be eating something from this plastic bag...as her eaglets watch.
(It seemed to me that Mama was having to swallow this piece of whatever more than usual...) ...she also feaked her beak on the nest material while eating it. I could not tell what she ate.

Mama seems to want to get into this plastic bag...as Ch'aak & Anaaski watches to see what she does with it...
After Mama checks out the plastic bag she decides to aerate the nest...deeply.
One of the eaglets now goes closer to the plastic bag...

I went over to the live chat just now and saw that Glacier Gardens posted this statement:
Glacier Gardens:
"It is trash day here, so our best guess is someone put their trash out too early, a bear dumped it, and the eagles took the opportunity for some free food."

I am loving the two little GG's - so adorable, and growing so quickly.
I hate to see that plastic bag on the nest, though.

Hi Laniebelle! It's so good to see you here...Thanks for your post!
Yes... I had to go take a little break after I saw and watched what Mama did with that plastic bag!
I sure hope some wind comes through, soon, and blows it off the nest!
(Hopefully the wind will carry it far away from the nest tree area where it can be discarded properly)!
Have a great day Lanie! ~Journi
