Sauces Channel Islands Eagles ~ A-40 Delivers Live Kit Fox; Taken Off Nest w/ SLO MO 6.6.18

[@sean16hall3]

These videos are all I watch lately. Nature can teach you a lot about life

[@Lunzie]

Oh my!!! I know every creature God created has to eat, but it’s hard for me to watch!!! This nest is as wild as I’ve ever seen!!! Amazing!! LH, you always bring it!!! High 5 🖐🏻 to you!!!! ❤️🦅❤️

[@cynthiamorales5770]

I got to see all tbis action live and didnt know that the prey was still alive. There was just. too much commotion going on and wings flapping all over the nest, coming in and going out...lol. Love watching this family

[@samsen201]

Very interesting and educational. Slow motion does help to get the action and ongoing event much better and dearly thanking you for sharing it all. BTW I don't think the primary goal of Dad was to feed here. There appears to be many things involved in the process of learning. First how to deal with a fresh meal. Then an exotic cuisine & not garden variety grub. Third, how to make an effort to catch the food, rather than being spoon feed. Well after all you have heard it: "Give a Man a Fish, and You Feed Him for a Day. Teach a Man To Fish, and You Feed Him for a Lifetime" In this case "Eaglets" instead of "Man"! And for those who can't watch it, well you know better and I don't have to say anything! But let me share a story: I never forget a friend that was travelling from LA to SF with family and if you have driven that Hwy 5, you know about the huge Harris Ranch with miles of cows in the field that even if you try not see, you will smell! Well this friends parents, concern as to not getting a surprise question about the slaughter house etc, from the younger kid, were in panicky situation when the kiddy while enjoying the view of the cows, start to wave at them and shouted: "See you in McDonald"!!!!!!! Well one gets it or Gets IT! Law of nature are written on the every atoms of living beings and recycling is the only thing that will not change. Also never forget that not only nature rules, but rules well. Through this natural selection, the weak and bad gene pool, constantly gets wipe out so the survivors remain the best that can be for the given place and time. And lastly, don't you remember when the Fox was paying a late midnight visit to Eagles nest to catch the eggs before being hatched or even to eat the helpless eaglets? Well I hope this is the same fox that we saw before;) So get with it as there is no other way to go on, if you like to live in a real world. Now back to the nest and I have not followed the events for a long time so what happened to Mom and what was the unfortunate event? Then What is happening with HP's left wing that appears slightly unusual in appears, form mid to the end of footage? Hope she gets her wings soon and fly as she should.

[@9798angel]

Agree Lady! 4:46 dad clearly has it, 5:10 Saucy is assumed to have it as the mantle and dad's ping ponging glances to and fro as Saucy mantles away, 6:04 IMO Saucy's tail looks too "thick" and seeing only the right talon in flight as Lady stated above, I believe Saucy is the "winner" here lol Excellent video full of action and education as the eaglets continue to learn from these excellent parents to survive on their own! (live prey and all) I am just honored to see what most don't witness regularly or really ever! Channel Islands Institute for Wildlife Studies are obtaining some amazing data here at this nest!!

[@TomSawyerEaglePro]

GE Lady Hawk! Dad is quite the provider and he did a great job bringing his family a good meal, even if it is a live kit.❤

[@isabellerudolf4463]

Tom Sawyer the Pacific Ocean is just below the nest

[@TomSawyerEaglePro]

Hi Isabelle! How cool is that🌊! Thanks for the info 😄

[@anastasiostsapanidis7133]

Where is The kit? They dropp down?

[@MelbaL.]

You’re right Lady Hawk not even with slow-mo could I see but I love the excitement and the way they all mantle around the father making him look humongous !! Awesome 😊

[@crkwon3780]

Towards the end, 1st one have a tantrum.... I guess cuz he can’t fly yet! :D hahaha “ i wanna fly I wanna fly too! It was my fox 🦊 and you guys make me loose it!” Kakakkaka he was too young and Dad wanted him to claim it and didn’t!

[@barb7774]

LADYHAWK: What is SAUCY" mean in the heading "Sauces Channel Islands?? Is that a name of one of the Adults too?? I never paid attention to this nest; just recently started watching since H&M are over for the season! thanks

[@moka9144]

Barb, SAUCY is the name that the female eaglet 19A finally got now in beginning of June. Corsair and HP got their names long before in May. I'm so glad, SAUCY now got a name, too.

[@rjax6776]

Barb- Saucy is the name given to 19/A, the middle eaglet!

[@patriciacarlson8858]

R Jax -Theory was that Bald Eagles do not eat foxes...

[@YouAreMySunshine2]

Before I watch is it as bad as the other day when the baby fox was moving and in pain? I can't watch that.

[@barb7774]

I sooo agree with you Niki.... I don't watch any videos that say "GRAPHIC CONTENT" as we know it is something horrible; I cant watch it either; it sickens me; even though I know its nature; I cant watch an animal being eaten alive, and I am sure there are many others out there that feel the same way.. .I am an animal lover through and through!!! :)

[@barb7774]

no need to see Sharon... Its cause a fox is a mammal.... that's why it bothers us more I think...

[@rjax6776]

It was NOT eaten on the nest! Saucy carried if away!

[@barb7774]

R Jax it was still taken away from its mother! Still prey whether eaten on nest tree or rock! Still alive😖😖😖😖

[@rjax6776]

I agree. It probably was even consumed - just not on the nest. I just wanted to let you know it was not as bad as the other day. It was not gory. There was no blood. For all we know, it may have even escaped from Saucy. But since the parent was in pursuit, one can only imagine that it was eventually consumed. You do not need to watch. But keep in mind the parents have to provide for their eaglets and they also have to teach their eaglets how to catch and consume all kinds of prey. This was a teaching video for the eaglets. They must learn these things or they will not survive!

[@DjMicr0dot]

Are the parents trying to feed the one that was initially in the nest and not the other,?is that why they took off when the 2nd juvi arrived?

[@OspreyMomma]

Just crazy how louid they can get makes me laugh. Love the video thanks for sharing.

[@kayecampbell8673]

Could not watch. I’m sure it was great, too tender hearted. Thank you

[@dianewhitlock1917]

Wow,what a video! Great action!

[@dianewhitlock1917]

Dads plan to feed didn't work out! I think he tried but the parents ought to know by now! LOL!

[@ladyhawk]

Hi Diane and thank you so much! You never know what to expect with an incoming delivery! lol

[@gokhaneksi713]

Thanks for Avesome capture lady hawk

[@kurosakamiwako8663]

Very very dynamic, active and noisy ! So different from the Decora Eagles nest !

[@isabellerudolf4463]

Kurosaka黒坂Miwako三和子 very different from every other nests I watch

[@madelinedelvalle3666]

I didn't see any of them get it, so I think they probably dropped it!

[@randomanimalstuffprogram6115]

What an amazing video! It's really interesting to see, what is going on n such an egale nest. Thank you for that! :)

[@Autism_matters]

I didnt see it any talon after dad arrived the second time. I wonder if it fell over the edge. Would it be too heavy for an eaglet to carry in one talon?

[@proudcatmamaof3962]

Oh my gosh, that was a truly amazing capture Lady Hawk! Loved seeing all of the action!! Wonder who got to enjoy the prey? Thank you for sharing! 😘

[@ladyhawk]

I think Saucy took it with her!!

[@YouAreMySunshine2]

Saucy is a PRO at stealing food. Corsair needs to get more slick like Saucy. Though he did fly off with a fish the other day to get away from HP.

[@Autism_matters]

I paused it when it was in slo mo and at the 4:58 mark, i could see the kit fox on the nest.

[@anastasiostsapanidis7133]

Where did it goe after? It disapear.

[@goodfox9250]

I looked at the slow motion and it looked like may be the adult eagle left with it. For the best since the last live fox was so hard to watch.

[@karendegeyter2937]

Wow that is some greedy babies. Parents must of been glad when they left the nest.

[@rjax6776]

TY LadyHawk for capturing this video. We really don't know if any of the eaglets got to eat this prey since it was taken off the nest by Saucy. Corsair returned to the nest not too long after and seemed to be hungry. Saucy may have had some but crop later did not look like she had all she could eat. Glad you could tell what the mammal was. I was afraid it might have been a kitten but don't think they have cats on the Island. Really did not know what to think! HP definitely thought this prey all hers. With the two older siblings flying in and out prey deliveries have become a fiasco. So entertaining to watch! TY for capturing, editing in slo-mo, and sharing with all of us. QQ Are you ospreychick on the IWS webcam chat page? I keep meaning to ask but keep forgetting after I watch your videos. EDIT: I Forgot, there were other fish deliveries on SC today. So far: 1027.50 Parent flies in with fish -HP claims it- still eating when next fish arrives . 1034.02 Parent flies in with another fish and Corsair is first there -flies off with fish in talons right at the camera.

[@Autism_matters]

I do love those hissy fits

[@SamtheMan0508]

This is one wild and crazy nest!

[@isabellerudolf4463]

Michele Pohl I agree and I don't watch it anymore as I can't handle it.

[@Autism_matters]

Then after the three of them left, no one had it. It looks like it fell off the nest

[@clicketysplit1817]

Another baby Fox!!! Second one this week...! They better get a cam on that Fox den.

[@YouAreMySunshine2]

third

[@clicketysplit1817]

that poor mom fox.

[@Liger._King]

So, does it mean that the initial eaglet is much younger than the others and can't fly yet? It looks considerably smaller than the other two too.

[@XxSpectroBoixX]

1:29 After this the bald eagle looked like he didn't know what he was there for lol

[@Dstew57A]

Can’t watch this sickens me to hear the little fox cry and reath around in pain. Good solid food for these growing eaglets though. I guess practice for the eaglets to get some killing experience. Poor baby kit!

[@isabellerudolf4463]

D Stew the eaglets need to learn to catch fish and not take live mammal babies from a nest. It sickens me also but it is raw wild nature and hard for humans to accept.

[@benip4144]

@Isabelle Rudolf so fish lives don't matter? okay.

[@nadineF]

A new nest with very interesting new people!

[@franceshenry2239]

Thanks.

[@crkwon3780]

But how cute 1st one there! This is 3raglets!! Wow

[@joqerjoe3716]

The one that hasn't fledged is hopping mad because he had two opportunities but didn't seize the food.

[@brendaanne0810]

GOSH!! 😝💞

[@p.f.886]

me before 0:14 : I don't hear anything, let me put max volume on my headphones. me after 0:14 : why did I do that? I am deaf now.

[@ladyhawk]

lol p.f. :) Oh the screams!!!

[@p.f.886]

They scream very loudly :D Their parents must have an headache after all that screaming lol

[@austin1839]

Poor little fox.

[@charzpak7173]

Hope they get more fish next time

[@M.Farooq555]

Great

[@crkwon3780]

I think he dropped it

[@leticias520]

Poor fox I cry and moma fox I think she cry. aww

[@irmamilorava8128]

❤️❤️❤️🙈👍👍

[@addicted367]

I just saw this same video on another channel.

[@krrrretrre]

Again!

[@陳水晶-t5w]

??

[@charzpak7173]

Poor baby kit. Don't parent give birth under ground and mama always watching them while outside....I don't understand how the kit was captured for prey

[@ladyhawk]

The parent was killed and A-40 the male eagle found it and brought to the nest and fed it to the eaglets. :( The kits were left unprotected and that is probably why he was grabbing them live.

[@charzpak7173]

Are we going to save them too

[@charzpak7173]

Will they survive on their own. They only have one parent?
