I seem to recall that some predatory birds kill off nestmates...a competition of sorts.
But this family--- right now both parents are feeding again---- seem very congenial. I only saw one snappish fight among sibs so far. They are very well mannered during the feedings...I am very surprised at this. I raised some naked 3 day old nestling sparrows...and they were just hooligans, stepping all over the runt, and fighting for food. .

We see them on the water alot now up North. I think the parents teach
them how to fish/hunt. We see an adult with full colors often with a brown younger bird frequently. We also see eagle fights... we've seen them chase each other, screeing... and we have seen terns and crows chase and harrass eagles as well. I don't think they are very aggressive. I have seen one aerial display right overhead of them falling and flapping with talons locked together. Either that was a fight or mating display?

That I have the day off!
Duck? sea gull? probably. I see some gray pinfeathers like a seagull. I think it is fascinating how the parent is "teaching" the chicks...
