E3’s Change in Behavior- What we Know

A number of viewers have remarked on the change in behavior of E3 lately. There can be a number of reasons for the change:  Up until recently E3 consumed the lion’s share of nutrition and grew at a fast pace – which is completely normal. During their development there does come a time when the demand for food does appear to decrease. Partly it is our perception because it seems they don’t eat as frequently.

Singing in the Rain- Nest Notes, Photos & Videos for Jan 31

The second full day of rain seems to have got the best of E3 and E4. This day started out wet and soggy but turned out to be better allowing Ozzie, Harriet and the E’s to begin drying out. Ozzie delivered a UFO (unidentified food item) and a fresh fish. It is always interesting to see what is on the menu for mealtime. Harriet came to the nest to serve the fish to E3 and E4 since she always appears to want to feed the E’s. E4 is very vocal… Read More »Singing in the Rain- Nest Notes, Photos & Videos for Jan 31

The Eagle Family interactions take interesting twists and turns. There seem to be playful and civil moments between E3 and E4. E4 had a calm feeding time with Mom.
