Morning Wolf River Family and Friends

It looks like Shadow is sitting up right doing some preening.


8.19

Just finished with some wingersizes.

Someone is squealing away just like mom does when there is a food delivery.
At first I thought it was mom in the attic making the noise.
It is just a very hungry and persistent eaglet crying for a feeding.

This is Feather. You can see the other e's shadow moving behind the main stump.

Feather finds a nest over.
Shadow comes out from behind the stump to peck it away from Feather.
At first I thought there was going to be a squabble..
Shadow wins the nest over, which ends up being a stick that he just drops and ignores. LOL

Scaps from the video.

Mom hops down from the attic squealing away and dad arrives with something that mom is defeathering, or deferring. I haven't been able to get a good look yet. Dad just did his usual... Drop and hop... LOL

First bite goes to Shadow.

Shadow goes under mom to try to steal the fish and knocks mom off balance.

Scaps from video
Mom just arrived and is squealing

Mom assessing dad's delivery and dad looking mighty proud

Mom very passively (LOL) asks dad to leave...

Feeding part 2

Feeding underway... So far it has been a 20 minute feeding and the e's are still acting famished.
Well, they are just being eaglets you know... LOL
Feather is on the right,
Shadow is on the left

Dad flies in with some fluff and gets the twins all excited and takes off.

Scaps just after dad left...
Shadow is shocked that dad left without feeding them.

Shadow speaks his mind...
