Deeagle55 - 6:05am Morning feeding by Papa...

After this feeding I see that Ch'aak' no longer has that plastic bag piece hanging from it's mouth.
(It's too hard to see if that piece fell from it's mouth during this feeding, or if it was consumed.)

.
Thank you Dee for capturing this morning feeding video! It really helped to see how
Anaaski grabbed for fish bites by going around Papa to get away from Ch'aak'.

Thank you so much jwin36 for posting that article about eagles eating plastic.
I am dedicated to bringing awareness of what plastic is doing to this planet and all who live here however I can.
Plastic awareness starts with me and what I have been doing in my own life that has contributed to this global pollution.
(Okay....I'm off of my soap-box...for now.) ~Journi

You are welcome. And I am up on that soapbox too!

The plastic bag was stuck on Mama's talons as she flew off the nest!

Plastic bag...Buh-bye! ...

[DDuckies2]

LOL. Bring your own bag- maybe she is going shopping at a store that has stopped giving out free plastic bags.

3:44pm Mama delivers a nice large fish for Anaaski & Ch'aak'!

Anaaski waits and watches for the perfect time to grab for fish...

Anaaski moves to the other side of Mama and get's fish bites. (Green dot = Annaski)
(Anaaski is at the very edge of the nest during this time!)

The wind has picked up and the nest tree is swaying during this feeding.
