Good morning all :hi:

Thank you for the feedback and sharing knowledge on eaglets diet before fledging and more :2thumbsup: this is very interesting subject.
Should we be worried about Rika`s lack of will on doing WE and branching at this stage? or is Miks just hyperactive compared to his big sister =)

Mika child prodigy!
Vilnis was 72 days old during falling. He never jumped on a branch by that moment.

the fish delivery by Raimis. the fish is in Rika's claws this time. she began to eat.


12:15 Rika ate and Miks screamed. he was looking to the right.
- i think that Raimis was still perhaps there. Miks screamed as long as he saw Raimis.


12:26 Rika finished the meal. both looked in the sky but they were silent....
12:31 she pooped.

i don't think we need to worry. :D
i have seen a few lazy, big and bone-idle eaglets earlier and they fledged normally. Rika is not the first. she may be big and slow but she'll fly yet.

12:38 an intruder! strange eagle is flying around the nest tree.
Image

12:39:45 maybe landed on the top.

it's probably the same eagle who was here yesterday. this time neither of the parents is nearby. eaglets have to defend themselves. ... and their fish. :mrgreen:

yes, i know that this question is especially interesting to Abigyl. :whistling:
it might be one of them but the are also a lot of other young eaglets roaming around...
i didn't see any rings. (but i can't sure of that either before i see better pictures.)
... there weren't any really good pictures. :faint:

12:55:00 the eagle flew away but landed above the poops branch.

and flew away over the meadow and by the nest tree to the left.
... is flying over the nest but higher. the kids are quiet.

this is the whole visit.


12:58 the eagle flew another round by and over the meadow and the nest.

and over the nest.

13:45 another fly-by. only the shadow could be seen passing over the nest.
i think this was a stranger. eaglets would react differently to parents.
