8:34 M15 brings in a Armored Catfish
Eaglets are not able to cut the fish.. but E22 tries. S/He is very hungry

EDIT:
I hope he makes it. Apparently M15 doesn't have time to feed. EDIT: Sorry, the English is bad. By "I hope he makes it" I mean I hope he can open the fish.

One should not put every word on the gold scales. In other words, one should not interpret what seems worst to one.
Not everyone can speak perfect English. And google sometimes doesn't do it as well as you'd like

The reporting by some known members here is apparently unnecessary negative on this thread.
Eaglets do survive fine without food every day, in the nature they can go on without food several days. M15 is doing fine as parent, he has neither neglected the eaglets or refused R23-3 her presence. Anything can happen and still be totally normal - why to predict a disaster in advance? The prediction in this nest looks just positive!

11.20 "Do it yourself, guys". The eaglets are trying to peck the fish.

Then it is the same situation with Webster Tx nest in 2020.

Hi, everyone!

yesterday M15 brought 5 fishes, meat ant the possum tail. That was a lot of food :bow: A milestone E22 unzipped and ate a whole fish :2thumbsup:


M15 brings in a squirrel or similar... E21 grabbed it.
I have to check the prey
9:28 :puzzled: here we see the belly of the prey
Image

amazing wings by E21 :innocent:
Image

E21 supports itself with the wing at E22. The prey is a bit difficult to eat

This year the parents from Webster,TX nest repeated the same "tough day" trick on February, 25 - they did not visit the nest and Ringo didn't eat.
