Eaglet feedings

Some screenshots from SWFL eagle cam. Warning that most of the later ones will have a clear view of the gory prey (a rabbit).

Dad M15 feeding fish to the younger eaglet E18. E17 got fed by mom Harriet a bit earlier, but I missed that. Now E17 seems to only be interested in the shade of dad's tail.

E18 with a big crop after feeding. That's about as big as their whole head!

SWFL eaglets are back at the nest

E17 and E18 were returned to the SWFL eagle nest earlier today (or yesterday by now on my timezone) after a week at Clinic for the Rehabilitation of Wildlife (CROW) to recover from eye infection.

Looking around and lying around after the humans had left, taking in the familiar surroundings. I said I won't be able to tell them apart, but apparently I lied. E17 is on the left, E18 on the right.

Gold as ice

 Shiny!


Big and small seabirding

Dad stretches his big wings.

And right after, the chick stretches their teeny, tiny, little wings.
