a total scream fest or alert. Don't have sound to loud or you'll fall of your chair

There must have been something in the area to set both of them off like that.

Doug said on the chat that there were multiple juvenile and adult eagles flying in the area for a time.
For those concerned about David getting enough food, these pics should ease your mind. The first pic shows in both views the difference in size.

You can see their size difference clearly here.

Then of course, he did another escape from the nestcup :sunsmile:

David escaping once again, leaving Alexandra behind to complain

David grabs at moms beak for his share of food and gets it

Full crops on both LOL

That sure puts a smile on my face. :smile:

Thanks, beans.

Watched David and Alexandria get fed last night. Both very well behaved! And huge crops!! :)

What can be better than a full stomach? Maybe a full crop...
