NEW DAY
5 June 2022 (Sunday)
In Nest: Altynai & 3 eaglets
Orientation: facing right, perpendicular to camera
01.30.00 - Altynai visible in nest.
01.40.00 - Oh my god! She's actually tucked in asleep, head buried in behind her wing this morning! REAL sleep!
Stirs briefly but tucks back in.
02.00.00 - Still tucked into her wing sleeping! Stirs again, looks out, grooms, looks into brood. Back under wing.
02.20.00 - Still tucked in, sleeping
02.22.12 - Stirs, again, head up, eyes shut. Looks around with her eyelids shut. She stays in this mode now. Eaglets out front stirring slightly, doze on.
02.25.30 - Looking around, looks down at brood, yawn, looks down, around, etc.

In Nest: Altynai & 3 eaglets
Orientation: facing right & out, towards trunk
02.26.48 - Altynai reorients, after pecking at the nest bowl beside her. Stands up more, grooms herself around her left wing. Shakes her legs & underfeathers, then goes into position to settle on her brood again. Looks around sharply on the way there.
02.29.50 - Once settled, she stares down at her eaglets intently. Looks around, then pecks & examines nest beside her.
02.40.00 - More settled now, head still moving though. Can't really see eaglets.

In Nest: Altynai & 3 eaglets
Orientation: facing almost directly away
02.52.50 - Shuffles around more, now more facing away from camera, back almost entirely to us. No eaglets visible now.
03.00.00 - same. Perched down on eaglets (unseen), scanning the skies.
03.20.00 - All looks the same as it was.
03.40.00 - All looks the same as it was. (Transitioned from Blue to Golden Hour)
An uneventful hour passes.

In Nest: loose shift change - Altynai, Altyn, & 3 eaglets
Orientation: dynamic.
03.54.04 - Altynai stands up, turns, hops to the left limb, & immediately flies off within 10 seconds.
Alone in the nest, two of the large eaglets wake up to see her off.
Both stand up, head tall, the larger looking out in the direction mum flew off from, the smaller starts the compulsive pecking at the larger.
03.54.37 - One beak-to-beak blow from Eaglet 1 sees off this beligerent challenge. (Again, looks almost comical).
Eaglet 2 stays down.
Eaglet 1 grooms itself once more.
Eaglet 3 remains sleeping throughout, stirring only slightly.
03.55.28 - Altyn flies in, lands on left limb. Eaglet 1 sees in his arrival.
Altyn gathers the leftover meats & picks over them.
03.56.40 - Altyn then flies off with a gopher carcass. Eaglet
03.57.12 - Altynai flies in & lands on the left limb. She starts to descend then pauses.
10 seconds later Altynai also arrives back, landing right in the nest, with the gopher (same one?) & drops it off.
The two swapping spots, Altynai enters the nest, Altyn takes to the left limb. Much talking between them.
She takes the gopher & makes preparations for meal time...
03.58.12 - Altyn flies off.

In Nest: Altynai & 3 eaglets
Orientation: new, side-on food distribution place, to the left of nest.
03.58.23 - First, Altynai has some of the food herself.
Eaglet 1 has remained alert & waits somewhat patiently to eat.
The other two remains lying down, head facing away.
FEEDING TIME
03.58.36 - first morsel dealt out, to Eaglet 1.
20 seconds later, Little eagle squirts a poo out. Getting much better distance now!
Back to eating, heartily. Others slumber on.
04.01.00 - Eaglet 2 looks over at the feeding, head moves from away to down & closer. Monitors Eaglet 1; decides time hasn't come yet.
Eaglet 1 eats on. Altynai tries out biger chunks but ends up having to break them down more or eating them herself. Ests until he's starting to collapse down.
04.06.12 - Eaglet 1 turns away from the feeding position & tucks head down. Decides more is good after all, but only in a lacadasical way, lying down eating, barely raising a beak. Perhaps Eaglet 2's interest inspired more eating.
04.09.12 - Altynai moves closer into the others to offer them some food. Puts food right up to one of their beaks, facing her, yet the eaglets doesn't take it. Another attempt is made: same result.
Eaglet 1's interest in food rises with this, head rises off the floor again to eat again, yet swiftly settles back down into the nest.
04.10.05 - Altynai again leans over Eaglet 1 to reach the beak of the other awake eaglet. This time the offer of food is accepted, sort of. None goes in. The eaglet then shakes its head repeatedly, as when it attempts to swallow an overly large chunk. No idea why.
More food for Eaglet 1.
04.11.45 - Turns away again within a minute.
