Oh my. Photos of daddy eagle bringing the fish home. Absolutely stunning!


.

Really, you should go look at the photos in the Photographer section of the eagle forum!


.

That poor Sutton eagle sure has been battling the wind today!

Yes, those photos are stunning... they were stunning last season too!

The 3rd egg has hatched! So far so good!

2 videos....

1) Eagle discipline! Mom won't allow the bullying!

2) Beak fight:

I read at Blackwater's blog that the beak wrestling is exercise for the neck... maybe? maybe not!

I can't believe I saw that! thanks Mrs.D. Mother knows best! :D

Yeah, Alffe... she finally sent him/her flying backwards!...
Then the gentle press to keep him/her down!

After all they could poke their eye out! :p

Today it is cool at the gardens.

Mom is having some trouble keeping the very active chicks,
warm.

It is a bit funny... but I really feel for her! She looks pretty grumpy!

Its been interesting so far. Many odd live foods have shown up in the nest. Live eel, live fish, and even a Nutria, which was dead.
It appears that Nutria, a kind of rodent is a biological pest, which was introduced to the US to combat excess vegetation, and hence has spread and become a real problem.

I looked at the slide show from the 14th as the camera seems to be down this morning....really suprised at how fast they are growing!
