BREAKING NEWS...
A child in the area is missing a few toys. A BOLO has been issued for a thief that apparently can fly.
Sweet!
And so beautiful birds; just read they're in Florida all the time, that's nice. Here in mid-Europe they became rare, the most are only passing by when migrating between their breeding- and wintering areas.
E17 makes it to the attic branch! A little unsteady, gotta figure out those big feets.
Looking down at the nest, world looks different from this spot.
Wind surfing, E17 has a huge wing span.
Feets and talons...
I LOVE WHEN THEY SEE THE CAMERA FOR THE FIRST TIME, LOL. ♡♡♡
Sweet closeups of E17's discovery of the cams. So darn cute.

Their heads and tails will be fully white in their fifth year. The feather pattern they have around their necks and lower back where it changes from white to brown, will never change even with a molt.
Also in their fifth year they are able to procreate and begin searching for a mate.
FUN FACT: if a flight feather(the long one) is lost and doesn't grow back, they will loose the same feather on the other wing. This happens in order to maintain balance.
Well, their beginning was a stressful start, the owls relentless...but they're coming into their own. Their departure time isn't far off, and this run on season that technically started over a year ago, will finally come to a close.
Harriet and M have certainly earned the down time.

E17 and E18 are 114 days old today. Both have grown into strong and spunky juvenile eagles. They woke together in the pine this morning, to a lovely pastel painted sky.
They perch over night out on this far branch..............^ See them there?
E17 with her back facing the cam, E18 as he stands on one foot, both seem to be counting cars.
E17 way out on the left branch, bouncing and winging....^
It doesn't hold her for long and she flies off towards the pasture(bottom corner)...
E18 is juggling a bone he found in the nest and warming up those wings at the same time(above the orange dot) ...........^
He launches with it in his talon, transfers it to his beak and follows his sister to the pasture to start another day of exploring and soaring.
It won't be long now and they will fly high and free, full of lessons learned and they'll not return. M15 and Harriet have done it again. Their collective dedication to each other and their babes never ceases to amaze.
May they both live a wonderful long eagle life. ♡♡♡

Christmas never ends!
Very beautiful birds! But in my opinion the Red Footed Booby is more beautiful!
E18 brings a skinny little fish to the nest, GOOD JOB E18!!!
...and he is NOT sharing, lol.
E17 observes from the spike, just waiting for him to drop his guard..
He gets it almost gone and she hops down, steals the tail, and down the hatch it goes...
... they circle and bicker in the nest, which is missing some parts, lol...
...then they lay down together and have a nap. Awwwww, babies...
Harriet and M have been hanging out in the front pine, I'm sure they're ready for a break. They damn sure deserve one.
