West End Eagles ~ TUG-O-FISH WITH MOM! 🐟 3 Fish In 9 Minutes! ENTIRE FAMILY On Nest! Tandem Feeding💕

The West End Catalina nest is special with the exceptional parentage of Thunder & Akecheta! Once again they blow away expectations! The eaglets are ten weeks old and yet, they are still being fed by both parents! In this video you will see Thunder arrive first with a fish and begin to feed it and then Akecheta lands with a fish and he begins to feed it. We have the entire family on the nest and a tandem feeding ♥
When Thunder is finished she flies off - AK finishes up - but then he is watching as Thunder is approaching the nest. The eaglets are tracking as well - he flies off and immediately Thunder arrives with fish #3!! They brought in 3 fish in 9 minutes!! She begins to feed this fish and Sterling will come around the side and begin to get bites. Sterling & Mom have a tug-o-fish tail moment at 13:16! Guess who wins? 😂 Sterling and down the hatch goes the tail!! Thunder than flies off - what a great job she and AK did! Thank you for watching!

And that's how you feed three hungry triplets - way to go mom & dad! Thank you Lady Hawk! ❤

[@jocelynaccetta6853]

Triplets are fun to watch. I love Sterling ❤

[@marypritchett115]

Kids don’t seem to mind Dad eating a good portion of the fish he brought. They know they have Supermom!

👍👍👍👍👍🤗

[@CissyBrazil]

This is so awesome and great. I will miss them when they finally fledge. Too bad more humans are not at the dinner table altogether much anymore.

[@vanda6121]

A nice family banquet!! 🦅🐥🐥🐥🐟🐟😋🦅

[@flyfreeqhrt5484]

Amazing ❤

[@helenreebel9856]

Love the family getting together for dinner! Have any of the bald eagle experts ventured a guess on the sex of the triplets? I'm "thinking" that Koa and Treasure are both female and Sterling is a male. My guess is based on their current size as compared to Thunder and Chet and keeping in mind that Sterling was the last to hatch.

Akecheta and Thunder are skillful fishermen. 💪 Red fish can eat as sushi. 😘 So, they brought up three eaglets chubby and healthy. 🥰 Looking forward to fledgling them. ❤❤❤

[@michaelhalahan]

Thanks L H--I had asked this very Q in chat this AM and didn't get quite this response. but your Narrative and Video show the Parents are Still in control of the feeding process of the E's here. That unlike the last 3 E clutch several yrs ago that had Mom and Dad off balance with how to best feed their fully grown and self feeding capable Eagle trio. In my experience, the PF Parents are the best at discipline and feeding. If a Rogue Chick(Grown and near to fledging) grabs a bird from Mom(no fish here), mom will run after it and grab it right back. No Bonking--we all love each other(usually 5 of us)set of very well brought up Falcon chicks in such a nest.

[@marysaltlife1427]

An amazing nest! Thanks for sharing. And thanks for your descriptions, too. Bless you, Lady Hawk. Have a wonderful day.

[@Sunflowers_88]

Beautiful eagle family! I 💚 watching triplets - they seem to get along really well and really thrive with Thunder and Chet who do an amazing job in such close quarters! Thank you, LH! 🩷

Dear Lady Hawk thank you for great commentary and shots from this nest 👍💕🥰💐 I wish you good Wednesday and take care 😘💙🌿

[@CissyBrazil]

I sort of wish there was another camera angle on this nest. From where we can see it the nest looks way too small for so many eaglets and the parents. I guess what we can’t see of the nest, it must be right around the big rocks in front. Is that correct?

[@MillieCassara-jt4fn]

Thank you so much for showing us these beautiful Eagle family. It’s fascinating to watch the eaglets change and grow. I never realized from feathers to beaks to their eyes how much eagles transform themselves. It’s wonderful to watch daily. ❤️🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅

[@SilvanaSouza-wy5rv]

Hello dear Lady Hawk!! 🙋 I must say that I needed to watch this wonderful family reunion to ease the sadness over the tragic death of the precious Bucovina eaglet #2. 😓💔😓 Bless your heart, dear Lady Hawk. 🙌💙🙌 Take care and have a wonderful peaceful day. 🌺🌸💙💙🤗🙏

[@MillieCassara-jt4fn]

Can someone tell me, is it the female eagle that is tagged? If so why just her?
