These two are extra precious. They are very sweet with each other. And F23 is such a good mama. 🦅♥️ M made a wonderful choice in mates. And, because of our beloved Harriet, the bar was set very high. 🦅🪽♥️ Beautiful family. 🦅🦅♥️🐣🐣

A smorgasbord of fish, where o where are the E’s putting the food, both have bursting crops. E24 was like at least this time the fish is under me not on top of me 😂🦅

These babies weren't hungry. They have the best parents. The kids are eating very well so they are growing very fast. Thanks for your video!❤

Sergei. YW 🙂. It’s so good to see The E’s have an excellent food supply, thanks the M15 and F23! 💙

WOW! The E’s are eating so well. Can’t go to bed hungry in this nest, that’s for sure. Love the way F23 breaks down food for her E’s when she knows they are having difficulty with a piece. Curious: regarding the ACF; does she feed them the carcass? Thank you so very much Androcat.🦅💙💙🦅

@PriscillaD225. YW 🙂. The ACF shell/carcass is not fed to the eaglets, nor is it eaten by the adults. They are tough to open. Usually they are first opened under the “chin” area as in this video. Next, the underside area (belly) is opened. That is tough to get into also. You can see where F23 got into the underside. I have seen raccoons eat ACF, and did about the same as eagles. The only bird/animal I have watched swallow the whole ACF is a Great Blue Heron. The heron spends 30-40 minutes breaking (poking) all the fins apart before swallowing one. It surprised me they swallowed ACF whole, but I have seen them do it a number of times. 💙🦅🦅💙
