OMG - lucky eaglet

EDIT: TY for video: 2018/01/18 7h25m SWFL~Fish delivery and dangerous feeding ~ https://youtu.be/tNTkAuVrcNU

10:28:01 Dad brings in the next catfish
Harriet is delighted, vocalizing loudly and for a long time


10:27:54 Dad flying in with the catfish in his talons


10:28:26 Dad very soon (after 25 sec) took off again
flying back across the street
maybe hunting (or stealing ? ) the next fish soon

And, what did I say ?
10:32 Dad brings in the next prey only 4 Minutes after leaving !!
but what is this? An UFO? Must be a roadkill.....


10:32 Dad flying in with his prey in talons


10:34 OMG - it looks not very yamm-yamm, but the eaglets will like it


Harriet starts to feed this poor raodkill mammal.... Dad left again....

10:35 the foot from the mammal has talons - probably a rat ? A big one.....?
- no, must be something larger.... Has anyone an idea ?
EDIT 12:41 cam-time: on SWFEC-page they assume a roadkill raccoon.


Both eaglets have eaten very well and felt asleep
11:17 E11 sleeps very good - his crop is full - you can see his ear


11:20 E10 with his buddha belly is busy with preening


Comparing the feet, I would say, they are the same size (at the moment)

Maggy,
They ate so much, though they must poop much
Yesterday one did a small PS directly to the others body.
I think it was E11, paying back for all that bonking he had got in the morning from E10

Interesting, balistar!
and thanks for the great pics, everybody!

Yes, it was a cold night, it got very close to freesing in the morning.

12:16 Dad came in with another fish, a huge one, i think again a catfish
(no good sight on the fish, because Dad was standing on it)


12:22 Dad starts feeding


12:26 A very nice feeding without bonking. Both eaglets are getting good bites and are eating well again.
I would say today is less bonking than yesterday (so far).



EDIT:
from cam-page: Delivered Today: Fish - 3; Prey- 1 (may be roadkill raccoon).

14:41:44 Whoohooo - I counted six eagles soaring in the sky in the nest area


14:41:52 One came really close flying around the nest tree


14:42 Harriet on alert

15:07 another raccoon feeding from Mom


15:12 Dad flying in with the fish - seconds before eagles far have been seen


15:12 Dad lands on nest with a half eaten fish

15:13 Intruder in sight


15:14 H alert calling again, first M then H, both up to the attic


Eagle is flying close to the nest, flies around the nest tree to the west

15:14 M taking off the attic and goes after the intruder, chasing him off

M after chasing off the intruder, sitting watchful on different trees in the pasture - observing the nest area

15:21 on one of the old trees (old cam tree ?)


15:26 on the church tree


15:27 on the snag (?) tree


16:09 Harriet still on the attic

16:29 A small flock of starlings flying by - Harriet still in the attic


before they coming back and settle into the nest tree, making a lot of noise chittering

Thank you for reporting, balistar!
