Heraldic poses are so majestic to see. Cheyenne and Wichita certainly love to do them. Cheyenne so inquisitive investigating Wichita; nipping at their feathers. Wichita almost lost balance for a moment. Tyvm Androcat 💜🦅💜

[@androcat12]

@PriscillaD225. YW 🙂. That was cute when Cheyenne was nibbling at Wichita’s feathers. I think Wichita is half cat. 😉💜

[@PriscillaD225]

⁠​⁠@@androcat12Haha😊 I can see that. Loves being up high, skilled hunter, dangerous weapons at end of feet, sharp eyesight and hearing, bounces around a lot, loves playing with toys(corn cobs), always hungry and adorable expressions. Oh yes I get it. Half cat. 😉💕

[@sergei7995]

I think that eagles can only steal but these babies share food with each other. It's amazing. Thanks a lot for your interesting video!❤

[@androcat12]

Sergei. These two have the funniest steals, like borrowing the fish for a bit lol. 💙

[@sergei7995]

@@androcat12 I agree 👍 🤣

[@paulettemaldonado862]

I ran into this nest fell with that seem to good mama and dad Eagles. I have never seen act this way. These two have each other‘s back. They never fight which I haven’t seen. I just started watching them. They share their food. It’s crazy. I love this. These two are so cute, thank you! Androcat!

[@androcat12]

@paulettemaldonado862. YW🙂. The most we have seen is a little beaking between them, the adults and the eaglets. What a fun nest to watch! 💕

[@paulettemaldonado862]

@@androcat12 true very true can’t wait for season 13 with our eagles M 15 and F 23. I also get a glimpse of Jackie and shadow by the way that’s pretty much it. That’s why when I find good healthy Eagle nests I love watching them. I love the eagle how they grow each stage and how the parents react, thank you take care. Talk to you soon. God bless.

[@Terri_Stauffer]

It’s morning and here comes Ellie with first fish 😊. We get a little bit of feather nipping the more aggressive these two seem to be. We just get to enjoy the calmness on this nest and watch 2 well feed eaglets grow. Gotta Love how Cheyenne and Wichita have another heraldic pose contest.

[@androcat12]

Terri Stauffer. Aww, I am I missing those early morning deliveries! And Harvey’s late deliveries too. The heraldic pose contests lol, so adorable and grown up looking! 💙
