10:36 am in rollback, Pa finds bits and pieces of leftover food and feeds to the eaglets. He then leaves the nest. He must have gone up to a branch as the eaglets where watching him.

11:25 am - from the rollback - the eaglets were resting until Pa came in with a small rodent. He fed both Dusk & Dawn and at the end Dusk took the last bite which was a big piece
