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

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

10:28:26 Dad very soon (after 25 sec) took off again
flying back across the street
maybe hunting (or stealing ? 8-) ) the next fish soon :laugh:

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

10:32 Dad flying in with his prey in talons
Image

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

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.....? :unsure:
- no, must be something larger.... Has anyone an idea ? :puzzled:
EDIT 12:41 cam-time: on SWFEC-page they assume a roadkill raccoon.
Image

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

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

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

:hi: Maggy,
They ate so much, though they must poop much :mrgreen:
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 :laugh:

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)
Image

12:22 Dad starts feeding
Image

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).
Image


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