Harriet and M15 began the New Year by welcoming bobbling babies E21 and E22. Each Eaglet hatched after working hard, breaking out of the eggs in the cover of nighttime. Harriet and M15 provide exceptional care for their just over one-week-old little treasures. E21 and E22 grow fast and strong from plentiful meals and lots of sleep in the warm sun or tucked below Mom or Dad.
E21 and E22 are less than three days apart, and their time as nestmates and siblings has been mostly calm. Sparring matches for first in line at mealtime is natural competition for E21 and E22. Harriet and M15 keep the pantry stocked, and each gets their share of the feedings. Tandem feedings and evening Family feast time have them all getting a bite to eat.
Harriet and M15 are seasoned Eagle parents with perfect timing on responsibilities. One is always present on the nest or within view of the nest. They support each other with remarkable teamwork in nurturing E21 and E22. Harriet and M15 impart their best qualities to precious E21 and E22, contributing to their survival. Nest Notes by dadsjazz
