there Ülo has given the basic information of the chicks. it seems that the sex of only one of them was "guessed" wrong: Kenno is a girl after all.
so far all the sex determinations are only "probable" though.
we also read the first letter of the rings wrong: it was D and not O.

"Kaido on kotkapoegadest suurim ja koorus 15. juunil –
Rõngas DJ, tiib 248, kaal 1310, tõenäoliselt poiss.

Keskmist kutsutakse Kenno, tema koorus 17. juunil –
Rõngas DH, tiib 259, kaal 1460, tõenäoliselt tüdruk.

Pisim, Kaari, koorus alles 20. juuni õhtul –
Rõngas DK, tiib 205, kaal 1310, tõenäoliselt tüdruk."

"Kaido is the biggest, hatched on June 15th, ring DJ, wing 248 [mm], weight 1310 [g], probably male.
Kenno, the middle one, hatched on June 17th, ring DH, wing 259 [mm], weight 1460 [g], probably female.
Kaari, the smallest, hatched on June 20th, ring DK, wing 205 [mm], weight 1310 [g], probably female."

there must be a mix-up here..? the middle one weighs more than the biggest and also has a longer wing?
or maybe the biggest means the oldest?

yesterday try to get the fishtail, today try to get the fish... what a big day

[Gavril]

Good morning! 6:01. I managed to distribute fish. 6:03 irma flew to support the camera. Loud singing out Chicks. Lesson? Eagles do not yet know what to do with the fish. Eaglets learn. 6:07. Irma returned to the nest and feed the children.

[Gavril]

6:11. Irma on the support of the camera with fish and says something to the juveniles. Children resigned. This lesson?

[Gavril]

I do not remember doing so Piret last season, I might not be seen, because of a little attention. The situation today reminds me of the behavior of Ulla, which I watched some time ago, before her children learned to fly.

Just for people who might be a little bit confused as to why the differences are as they are.

The reason why Kaido is smaller than "Kenno" is that Kaido is a male... males are generally a bit smaller. But Kaido is bigger than Kaari because Kaari was born so much later than Kaido and hasn't caught up yet. (Though they weigh about the same already!)

The biggest, middle and smallest probably means the hatching time, yes.

8:37. Ilmar quietly brought the fish. Fish got Kaido.
