April 20! Mom snags a huge Carp!

A torrential rainstorm flooded the golf course overnight, stranding a few carp in shallow water on the golf course. The course was closed because of flooding, so I put on my rain boots and took a walk.  I found the carp first, surrounded by Vultures. But soon, both parent eagles appeard. The carp was too heavy for the first one, so the second one flew in and grabbed it, although it had some difficulty also. I' am guessing this was the "Mom" eagle. She flew off and the babes ate a large dinner!

April 19. Six weeks old.

The eaglets are now about 6 weeks old. They are pretty visible at the nest if you, as the observer, are willing to put in some time and wait for an appearance. One parent is always close by.

April 12.

A few observations of feeding behavior for the last couple of days. The eaglets are growing each day!

April 7.

The eaglets are now about 5 weeks old. It appears that they are able to maneuver around the nest when the parents arrive with food. It is such a joy to be able to witness this!
