I can not always correct. For this purpose I need to have an opportunity to read a forum during viewing. From phone it is impossible. After I forget who what did.

Sonchik, it is not your duty to check everything i write, but i am very glad that you can do it sometimes. :thumbs:
- for some reason or another it has been again difficult to me to see who is who in the past few days. :puzzled: the eaglets seem the same size again, as if Miks had grown in size. their size difference was so big earlier that it 'told' their identity easily. their tails are not always visible.

12:20 Miks began to eat.
12:27 he finished.
12:29 he pooped in the very hard wind.

3:21 Mika is in the nest- standing on the left
3:59 he is still standing and sleeping. Rika is laying
4:03 She stands up, went backwards and is doing a ps. Jumps and spreads her wings
4:10 Mika is preening himself- is stretching his wings
4:11 WE by Rika- very short
4:30 I see the tail of the eaglet on the left.. It is Rika? ...
At the left I stood Rika, Mika lay and then I got up and I did a poo.
At Rika sharp "elbow".

I think that you do not have to worry about Rika's health. She is tall and heavy. I already saw these hanging wings with small eaglets. At American nests and otherwise ...

this is Miks, isn't it?
Image

13:24 he pooped.


otherwise the eaglets have been motionless, in food coma i suppose. 8-)
edit: there was more!
Rika got up and made WE. Miks lay down.
13:30 Rika pooped. then she made some very powerful WE. she also, like Miks earlier today, actually flew above the nest for a short time. :2thumbsup:


Sonchik, i think you are right about Rika. she is a big girl, who grew big very fast. increasing mass took so much energy so that there was less for other purposes. moving big mass takes a lot of energy, much more than moving smaller mass. that's why Miks has learned earlier to fly and jump on branches.
i have a feeling that yesterday Rika began to make wing exercises more efficiently than before. she is going to fly soon, too, but perhaps after Miks. i'm not a bit worried about them now that Raimis and Milda bring a lot of fish for them, more than they can eat. :laugh:

btw: one other thing that came to my mind. last week i wrote how a white shower of downy feathers flew out of their costumes when they preened and especially when they shook their feathers. also the nest was dusted with white small feathers. only a few days after i had written this the white feather shower stopped. they had shed their baby costumes and new proper feathers had replaced the grey baby costume. besides growing muscles and wing exercises also moulting takes a lot of energy. :nod:

I forgot to correct everything. :bow: When I write it is Rika? I knew that I was wrong. Until this time, no comparison of the tail feathers was possible
I'm not feeling well today ... so I turned off the camera.

the fish was finished and Milda cleaned the nest.
15:31 she went upstairs. the kids went silent. if they were in food coma earlier they'll now fall unconscious after eating the fish. :mrgreen:

15:33 Milda flew away.

At first Milda flew by behind a nest from right to left at 19:47:46.
thank you this remark Sonchik! :thumbs:
i made a new longer video and replaced with it the shoerter video.
viewtopic.php?p=671232#p671232

16:53 Miks made WE & CE. they do the same things as Robis and Vilnis did last year: they catch a stick as 'prey' and then shake, pull and twist the stick. that way the sticks become loose and then they are ready to drop one by one. :slap:


16:56 Rika yawned. then Miks got up and went to toilet. Rika, too. Miks made some WE. then the eaglets measured their beaks a little.

17:41 Milda brought a big fish, too. this looks like a mirror carp, too, equally big as the fish that Raimis brought, but without head.
Image

she began to feed.

i think that Miks ate first and then also Rika a bit. now it seems that Milda has to eat the rest herself. 8-)

17:50 the fish has vanished. :rolleyes:

17:54 Milda flew away.
