Bird Cams Around the World

Super update, Loza! Thank you!

4:44pm The chicklets are relaxing right now - using the Fish as a pillow!

(PB is still being difficult here

I have trouble at times also bonbon.

Today's feedings posted in banner at top of page:
6:40am, 8:08am, 9:13am, 11:46am, 12:25pm, 2:22pm, 3:30pm. M15 takes over nest duties at 3:21pm.

Harriet and M15 are both on the nest right now (5:57pm); I didn't see all of the feedings, but from what I did see - the sibling rivalry may be over. I did see M15 attempt to feed a couple of times - the little ones' crops were so full - it looked like they could barely move! Love it!

after a long rain Harriet feeds chicks.
an eagle passing by was chased off

with such an abundance of food all has been well at nest

Oh dear. And according to the page, they will not intervene. Very tough to watch.

Have to leave for work ... if E8's foot is caught ... hope he is able to get free soon ...

Harriet is on top of him now so perhaps she will be able to get him loose.

I am watching a feeding now and she is definitely feeding both. Although I did see who I think is E7 snap at the other who is acting very passive.

3:04pm E8 is now being fed - but I think his left foot is still stuck. E7 is sound asleep.

(Between 2:30 - 3:00pm: E7 must have sensed E8's weakness - there was a lot of pecking, trying to keep him down. M15 brought in a big fish (Harriet had been brooding both; when M15 came in, Harriet was very vocal.)

keeping positive thoughts because this is one nest where there is zero interference. and I will not watch for a bit. Someone said it was fish netting its foot was stuck in.

Afternoon everyone. Chat is paused at this time, but wanted to make sure all of the viewers know that we are aware E8's left leg appears to be entangled in nest material since this morning. We hope that E8 will manage to eventually become untangled. This has happened in other nests and the eaglets have managed to free themselves and it is hoped it will happen here.

I'm going to delete the comments addressing E8. Please remember, our group also wants the best for this family and share with you our hopes that E8 will eventually become untangled. Chat is paused.

And in addition to above from the SWFEC:
Please do not call or email the MyFWC. It is the determination of a licensed and permitted rehabilitator, in coordination with the USFWS eagle permitting to make a determination on when it is appropriate to intervene at an active nest. All parties are aware of the situation and will take action if required.

SWINWK: So we know they have been notified, remaining hopeful ...

E8 us getting stronger through his feeds so hopefully it will give him the power he needs.
