The video opens with a beautiful sunrise and DN17 & DN18 both on the ground playing! They later are seen perched on the nest tree branch when DNF flies in with a squirrel! She lands right between the kids - DN17 is on Mom's right & DN18 Is on the left. They are squeeing up a storm as Mom starts to eat. The dynamics of not having a nest to rush across and claim the prey upon landing forces a different game plan. After a few minutes of temptation watching DNF eating, DN18 inches closer on the branch and steals the prey! WTG DN18! 👍 Mom will fly off and DN18 will successfully eat the squirrel while on the branch! Well done! After eating, DN18 flies off.
Mr North will fly in with a fish and DN17 is right there to claim it on the branch! Another successful eating of food on a branch this time by DN17! WE can see DN17 wolf down the fish and swallow the tail! Con appetit! The fledglings are really getting a crash course on adult eagles eat on a branch. The other important skill they will need to learn is to prevent their prey from being stolen while on the branch as eagles are always opportunistic hunters looking to score a meal any way possible. But for now, they practice on balancing and eating on the branch! Thank you for watching!
