continuing, with images from the overhead/North cam....

Fledgling on the nest grabbing the food from the adult; I don't see any white on the tail, but they are all quite wet.

I think this is a very wet Res.

Second fledgling lands and goes for the grab

Successful chick on the left - maybe some white, but not at all obvious. And I had been thinking it was Ess in the tree - but maybe not.

While I was going back to record that - there was a second food delivery, at 8:19 am. I think this was by Sur, and it was a two-fisted ... or maybe two-footed delivery! I'm not sure what he brought, but there are definitely two of them.

You can see Sur's black spot as the first fledgling arrives (and the tail looks whiter than in the earlier delivery, supporting my theory that it was Res who brought the fish).

It was a bit confusing with lots of wings as you'll see in the video, but eventually each fledgling got a piece of meat and a corner of the nest to eat it.

It's now 9:12 am, and both fledglings have been hanging out in the upper perch area since finishing their meals.

Good morning everyone, Thanks nightowl for starting the day here gin. :)

Great video's of our fledgelings gemini and Judy. I am glad there were two meals in the last video, both chicks must be hungry. They sure do look wet and the wind is blowing. :(

At 2:06 pm Res stopped in with a fish head. She looked around as if expecting one of the eaglets to follow her but not one came. She took a couple of bites and then left the nest at 2:07 pm, leaving the meal behind.

Ess flew in at 2:08 pm

She found the present left by Mom and worked on it for quite awhile.

2:30 pm

She finally finished and wandered over to the lower perch at 2:38 pm where she remained until 2:48 pm

Back in the nest, she rested for the most part - hard work eating fish head! :%: -

until she moved on up to the slanted branch perch and left at 3:56 pm.

There was one more brief visit at 8:38 pm by Ess - no food but plenty of call outs - but in vain as nobody came.

She only stayed until 8:45 pm.

Good morning, everyone! Thank you for your reports, gemini and Bev. I'm just popping in quickly to reboot the North cam - but found both fledglings on the nest. This was the image when I brought up the cams
20190718_001.jpg

And when I opened the cams, Dee on the right is working on something while Ess watches.

I'll be back after I've had coffee and breakfast to try to put together the rest of the story.

Hi Beth and all! It's now 10:52 am and we have a fledgling on the nest eating (I think Ess) - but I'm going to try to go back and summarize the earlier action before getting to this part.

from the dvr....

An adult on the nest at 5:06 am
20190718_005.jpg

And one of the fledglings floats gracefully down from somewhere straight up - see wide wings landing on the perch on the left.
20190718_006.jpg

The adult left, and the fledgling started working on whatever the adult brought. I rebooted North around 6 am, so can't check for an ID.


The fledgling went to the little perch after eating, then left around 5:15 am.
20190718_007.jpg

Added - I found the video from before the reboot - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3HSxX2pqTZc Unfortunately, it's very pixelated, and so far the fledgling hasn't had her tail in view when it clears for a second. It's interesting - it says the video has had 90 views - I do wonder who found it - and how!

So far I'm leaning towards this being Dee - tail seems long and rounded in. There does seem to be some white, but that could be pixel ghosts (or whatever).
20190718_012.jpg

With the cam in greyscale and everything breaking up, I really can't tell.

continuing....

5:26 am
One of the fledglings arrived at the perch on the upper left; she flew in from somewhere on the far side of the nest, so since the South cam is looking towards the North, she came sort of from a northerly direction.
20190718_008.jpg

I think she flew down to the nest after that (I'm jumping around a bit, but have no reason to think there was more than one of them there - and she flew off towards the South cam tree at about 5:30 am.


5:34 am
An adult arrived
20190718_009.jpg

Followed by one fledgling
20190718_010.jpg

and then the other (adult took off when s/he saw second fledgling approaching).
20190718_011.jpg

There was a moment of big wings, and then I think one of them was eating something, though without the North cam, it's hard to be sure of details.
