DN18 is perched on the nest platform when Mr North flies in with a fish! DN18 is squeeing loudly especially when Dad starts eating the fish in front of 18! DN18 makes it way over to the branch and reaches over and Dad begins to offer bites of fish - just like old times! Mr North still loves being a Dad & feeding his eaglets!
Mr North finishes the feeding even giving the prized fish tail to 18 :) WTG Dad!
I also included coverage from June 20th with DN18 claiming a fish on the grass from DNF ♥ DN18 does a huge mantle & carries it proudly in its beak and begins to eat it. A red-winged blackbird sees DN18 in its territory and begins its attack - swooping down and striking DN18 while 18 was eating. This little bird made itself into quite the pest but DN18 was undeterred and continued to eat the fish. When finished, DN18 joined DN17 on the stump and we have some nice closeups of them. Mom and Dad were together close by in another tree keeping watch on their offspring! Thank you for watching!
