Okay, I am off for a while...my eyes are so tired..lol.
Re: Surrey Reserve 2018-2019 Observation and Discussion
4:32 Sur in quickly at 4:19 pm with something - couldn't tell what it was - Ess again claimed it as h/h. Let Dee know in no uncertain terms h/s wasn't sharing!
Ess takes charge again (1:39)
I think I have just enough time to reboot the north cam - it's pixelating badly! Done!
Forgot to mention - checked the DVR and this was the only visit recorded since Bev's last report.
4:44 pm Went to check on the North cam and Sur arrived with a fish. he was gone in seconds. Sorry can't report any more!

Re: Surrey Reserve 2018-2019 Observation and Discussion
Good afternoon, and thank you all for the reports!
Looking back on the dvr....
Sur arrived on the nest with something at about 4:18 pm; the chicks rushed him and one of them grabbed it - looks like Ess though I can't be sure - it's the chick on the left that has it. Dee(?) tried to approach a couple of times, then backed off.
Sur was back with a live whole small fish at 4:46 pm; I think it was again Ess who got it.
Ess, the younger chick with the white tips on the tail feathers, moved the fish nearer Dee (I think that was unintentional - Ess was looking for a place to eat it, and happened to head where Dee was standing) - and it looked to me as if Dee went for it and pecked at Ess and put Ess into submission - which is something I haven't seen in a while.
And then Dee took the fish. Dee was working on it for a while, and both were looking around some, then Dee went back to eating, and I think finished the fish - so I think they each had one, though they weren't huge fish.
It's now 6:41 pm, and I didn't see any additional visits.
The eaglets are really getting big, and their wing feathers are getting longer.
Dee is 8 weeks old today, and Ess will be 8 weeks old tomorrow.

Thanks, Judy, I went back and caught a glimpse of ur bringing a fish, your right it wasn't too big. I am curious as to when the eaglets fly on their own, do they leave the nest with or without a parent? They sure do have a large wing span.. Lovely to see.

Good morning, everyone!
Sur was in with something around 4:50 am - not sure what, but I think I saw a leg, so not a fish - maybe mouse or small bird. Dee got it and was working on it for while and it 5:20 it looked as if Ess was working on something so they may have switched at some point.
It's now 5:37 am and I haven't seen any other visits since Bev's post.
Since there are two eaglets here, the first to fledge will almost certainly follow the parent to the nest for food - and my guess is that both will be fed on the nest for a while. When they leave, they leave on their own, and the parents may do a bit of work on the nest before heading off themselves. Fledglings generally go to where the salmon are running, so they can feed on the dead salmon - and there are lot of eagles there for them to learn from.
I'm off for a while = have a good day, everyone.

Beth, the eaglets will probably fledge between 10 and 14 weeks (11-12 weeks is most common), and I'm not sure how much we'll see them after that. Delta 2 fledglings typically spend time coming and going from the nest for at least a couple of weeks, but some of the Harrison Mills fledglings moved nearer the river where their parents typically perched, and didn't return very often.BETHINB.C. wrote: ↑Sun Jun 09, 2019 6:56 pmThanks, Judy, I went back and caught a glimpse of ur bringing a fish, your right it wasn't too big.
