Two well-fed sea-eaglets

Big supper at the Sydney White-bellied Sea-eagle cam nest today, resulting in cute pictures of some ridiculously stuffed eagle babies. (but warning for some of the screenshots also showing the torn-up prey)

Little SE26 has figured out how to get out of the nest bowl, and being closer to the food seems like a great strategy. Their crop is bigger than their head, and Lady is still feeding them more.

SE26 stumbles their way back to where older sibling SE25 is already getting ready for a nap. Baby raptors aren't the most graceful walkers to begin with, let alone with their center of gravity shifted forward by that much, lol.

Still another fish??
Lady ate that one herself. I don't think the chicks could have eaten any more if they tried.

Jokes aside, it's wonderful to see them getting so much to eat. They have a lot of growing to do.
