Finally the adult started the feed with all 3.I swear it was a raccoon(the tail I saw). The funniest event was when 2 of the eaglets started pulling at opposite ends of the 'catch of the day'! It looks as though they will all get their fill without any fighting.Mema Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12630606866716434605noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24421994.post-1148830921646070692006-05-28T11:42:00.000-04:002006-05-28T11:42:00.000-04:00Jo, I too am picnicking from 12-? so if you see an...Jo, I too am picnicking from 12-? so if you see anything before you leave, let us know.

If they do it some more-1st flight can't be too far ahead! I hope they use the same branch since it is in camera view. It is so hard unless all 3 are together to tell them apart & sometimes then you can't be sure.I just know that Ms.Inbetween is the largest & Spunky is the smallest.Problem is that they all have the same physical behavior. I am sitting here coaching them with Come On!Do It Again! I am picnicing around 3-dark. Keep us posted as to what you see today as you watch.Mema Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12630606866716434605noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24421994.post-1148824600660217732006-05-28T09:56:00.000-04:002006-05-28T09:56:00.000-04:00It just hopped/flew up on the limb at the top of t...It just hopped/flew up on the limb at the top of the screen just a couple of inches above the nest and then hopped back down.

Inbetween & BigBoy were perched on the far side of the nest & Spunky was laying right in the middle of the nest. Adult eagle flew in & Inbetween claimed the catch & is working on her breakfast while the other 2 watch. Adult eagle did not stay around - hopefully went to get some more fish.They will soon start to squabble over the food, I'm sure. They are just waiting for the right momment!Mema Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12630606866716434605noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24421994.post-1148775721522481862006-05-27T20:22:00.000-04:002006-05-27T20:22:00.000-04:008:14pm Jo-MD Hi Jim,Today ends the 10th week ...8:14pm Jo-MD Hi Jim,<BR/>Today ends the 10th week for the oldest eaglet & tomorrow starts the 11th wk. BIG BOY was born on 3/18,Sat. I want to clarify that the largest eaglet you see is the one we call Inbetween -she is almost as large as the adult. BigBoy is slender-only called him BigBoy because he was the 1st hatched. Hope my comments haven't confused you - All I know for sure is that I am 3464 wks old (I think).<BR/>Sharon: There were 2 or 3 interesting meals today-it seemed as though the food was brought in & then controlled by an eaglet -happened 2 times. The adult 2 more feedings held onto the food & fed them until Spunky & Inbetween took it away from the adult. BigBoy wasn't agressive like the other 2, so he didn't get as much. The adult did, however, give him a few mouthfuls. They were all fed well today.Mema Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12630606866716434605noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24421994.post-1148773883650239182006-05-27T19:51:00.000-04:002006-05-27T19:51:00.000-04:00Big Boy/Gal is actually 10 weeks old today.

Glad you will be joining in on the event!"<BR/><BR/>Well, Jo, I think you're a little long on the age of "BigBoy" (who I think is going to have to be renamed "BigGal"). <BR/><BR/>However the two oldest ones are SOOO active with the flight practicing this weekend that I think you people are right...the two oldest youngsters probably will be lifting off on their first flights soon. <BR/><BR/>Jimmovinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15415884718292572092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24421994.post-1148761521060703892006-05-27T16:25:00.000-04:002006-05-27T16:25:00.000-04:004:16pm Jo-MD Hey there, GLOMaybe our eyes are get...4:16pm Jo-MD Hey there, GLO<BR/>Maybe our eyes are getting the best of us because I had been sitting here staring at that black spot on that limb to the left.

I know all 3 are in the nest - the one I can see him feathers under the cam by the trunk. I always do look into the background just to catch a view of the adult if he flies in.

I also didn't see the new leafy branch brought into the nest. I'm not doing so well!
