Not how it works... or reasoning... lol

He's not the first male RTH to kill the offspring. It's their world & how things go sometimes. Tom did better the second hatch and became a really great provider. There were 2 bald eagle nests this season that the first time males killed the eaglets. Even the second ones that hatched... it didn't matter.

Sorry, sick

Mrs T is fine. Sometimes eagles will sneeze but not very often we get to see it.

Thanks Pam, I've never seen a reaction like that before.

You're welcome & yes... hope everything ends peacefully.

Thank you! 😊

Yes they sure are

You're welcome... thanks for watching

Yes this is the youngest. I also have a Disqus chat that a couple of us follow & document the nest events. We affectionately call him Little Dude (Lil D) for short. What others call him IDK. Thanks for watching.

Thanks Pam I appreciate it.

You're welcome... it was one of those "Kodak moments" I couldn't pass up.

I like it when Baker stands up to Bette, it shows how tough he is and devoted he is to his family. Baker doesn't eat all the food but when and what he does eat... it's out of necessity. Dad has to eat & stay healthy, they do most of the providing. I've seen Bette eat her fair share too. The day after this video, Baker did quite a lot of feeding while Bette sat on the MB. Did you see my video from 5/12? Baker brought in a duck, fed the kids (especially LM7) then left it there for Bette. She came in after he had left that morning with a half eaten fish. She fed the kids what was left of it & some duck. They all ate pretty good Mother's Day thanks to Baker. Baker has done one heck of a job providing for his family. I also say Baker is why little LM7 who is 5 days behind LM5 survived. LM5 wasn't letting him eat but Baker made sure at times he was fed. There were times LM7 didn't get anything to eat. LM6 never picked on LM7, LM6 got picked on but not as bad being one day behind. Baker put a lid on LM5 picking on LM7 one morning. There wasn't any food but Baker did a mock feeding then sat on and started brooding them until Bette returned. Whether Baker eats at the nest or not... I just hope that food stays in abundance for this family.

Hopefully LMC has that on their Autumn to do list

It really is and so much fun to watch!

Yes... everyone has a right but nothing should be blocked... No. You need to have filters set or you would not believe what comes through. I tried allowing all comments when I first started my channel. Needles to say it didn't work. I use the basic YT filter for holding comments because my videos are viewable by everyone including children. I check every once in a while for comments held for review & if they're appropriate I do allow them.

@@uwohaliproductions5624true there are ignorant people that have nothing better to do but ruin it for others…

не уверен, что ваш вопрос переведен правильно, но по состоянию на 5/10 в гнезде все еще 3 птенца

I've seen Bette eat her fair share as well. A lot of males will eat part of the prey first before they bring it in. Baker doesn't do that, he brings in the whole fish. The adults have to eat too and how it works. They have to be healthy for their offspring to survive. If food becomes very scarce the adults will do what they have to do to live to reproduce again. Baker has done a heck of a job providing for 3 eaglets so far.

Yes he has. I know they have to eat as well, and I've seen other nests where the adult comes in with a full crop, AND a big fish. Just pointing out what Mom might have been thinking, with 3 squeezing babies, teenagers by now.

@amg3021 I just found out YT blocked your comment for review because of some words... which ones IDK? I interpreted your comment to mean Baker was mostly eating the food & not feeding the eaglets properly.

You're welcome.

You're welcome... glad you enjoyed it.

You're welcome. We all get hit with the... empty nest syndrome. We watch them grow and know they have quite a journey in life waiting for them. Glad you enjoyed the video.

Lil Dude is doing great

Lil D doesn't look doomed to me

Lil Dude is small but doing really good so far

Unfortunately the male killed and ate it

I agree... I feel so bad for this pair especially Audacity. Due to her eggs breaking, they haven't raised an eagle since 2021. I hope she lays one more & it's a keeper.

It's a shame how things went.

Scout needs to learn he should be the food provider for Bella first, and then gradually learn raising offspring by watching Bella. Bella has been way too tolerant of his behavior.

This male showed no paternal instincts what-so-ever other than incubating. When he arrived this morning he saw Bella brooding the eaglet. But instead he demonstrated his opportunity to take an easy prey. You're correct, Bella made a big mistake letting him take her fish. She stopped him once and gave him warnings but she didn't take control. When he came in this morning without any food... Did Bella leave to go hunt or it was her break time & his to brood. This nest has seen a lot of tragedy in the past as well & it is a shame it ended like this.

Sorry, your comment was held for review & I didn't know. Apparently Bella doesn't know how to teach this new male. She had Smitty who was already experienced & more so than she was when she replaced Belle. Bella didn't change her routine one bit from with Smitty. I've seen females with long term mates control the nest & food more than she did. This male didn't see the eaglets as offspring but as easy prey. No food in the nest... hey here's something to eat.

You’re welcome 😊

No he took the fish yesterday that Bella brought in & killed the eaglet this morning.

You're welcome... That was one of my thoughts or making a smaller nest for the eaglet. Only to undo it all and then drop a stick on it. He did that to #1 too. I was hoping he would have known better than to take that fish though.

Yes it was a sad day but on the bright side. The remaining egg pipped today and if everything goes well #2 should hatch tomorrow (4/11). Hopefully Bella will be there to take control and things work out. 🤞

I saw a possible pip today, it could hatch tomorrow (4-11). Nobody is operating the cam to zoom in to verify it.

@@uwohaliproductions5624I thought I saw a pip as well. Bella has been really digging deeper into the bowl and looking down and listening to the eggie. Nail biting for sure 🙏🥚🦅🐣

They zoomed in at 7:00pm. I was able to verify a pip... should see #2 tomorrow.

Ok, ty

You're welcome

There's a good chance for the last egg to hatch by 4/11 - 4/12

Well... yes by definition only. This is their world & how it will always be. There is no right or wrong.

This young male is Bella's new mate & his first nesting season. He was very confused & you can see that in my video. Bella did a feeding, left the nest & her eaglet unattended. Not everything is controlled /accomplished by instinct. These young males have to learn and that's done through the females. By their actions... feeding, nurturing & protecting the offspring. Still there's no guarantees... accidents & death will still happen even through siblicide & starvation. For any bird just to hatch... is a very complex procedure.

It's a shame but that's how some young males have to learn.

I watched up until Bella did a feeding about 6:00pm & have been working on this video. This is kind of her fault... She should have introduced him to the chick. But She was used to Smitty. This is the same thing that happened at the Leucistic RTH nest. Her new mate didn't understand either. I kept wondering if this would happen.

@@uwohaliproductions5624I saw the male red tail 😭 Bird watching is not for the faint of heart 💔 I wonder how Bellas second egg will do 🙏🏼

I got mixed thoughts now... might be for the best if it doesn't hatch. If it does all we can do is hope for the best.

@@uwohaliproductions5624 True. 🙏🏼

Now we have learned that a first time parent needs to learn that an egg will hatch to be an offspring. However, Bella doesn't know her mate is a first time parent.

I'm not sure about what to keep score on

they sure are...

Another little miracle...

Hi Sue... I'm sorry for the confusion but this is a video from 2023. E7 was named Jefferson & grew up to be a very strong & healthy eagle. Bella had foot & head injuries and she did heal up on her own. Bella has a new mate this year, sadly Smitty was displaced last year. The last time I saw Smitty at the nest was on Nov. 1, 2023. He had head injuries that were healing up. There were 4 males seen competing for the nest. Her new mate is around 5 1/2 - 6 1/2 yrs old, a really strong & intelligent eagle. Bella laid 3 eggs this year but something happened to one of them. If #1 is viable it should hatch the 1st week of April. Egg #1 will be at 35 days old on April 2. I'll have a video / video(s) when they hatch.

I had to look that one up... That was the nest at Big Bear & those eggs didn't hatch. This nest is on Santa Catalina Island and referred to as the West End Nest. Inside Edition should do a story on the Sauces Nest on Santa Cruz Island. Thanks, glad you enjoyed my video.

Hopefully #2 will keep #1 busy so #3 can stay low & build up its strength.

You're welcome... Yes It sure is beautiful. Thank you for your comment I appreciate it.

Thanks

🥳🐥

They sure do...Thunder & Akecheta are good providers
