I watched as, way downriver, Ace snapped this stick from a tree –
then flew past me carrying it back to the nest as building/repairing material.
doc ellen’s eagle family report 03-21-2015
It started out a foggy morning! Wynd had figured out how to get up on the rim of the nest. Getting back down was expedited by the arrival of Petruchio. Wynd and Ice argued, with Wynd ultimately pushing Ice back into his side of the nest. See Slo-Mo of the argument in the video – link below.
Wynd does a funny Meerkat imitation. Petruchio brings straw for bedding and the chicks are quite disgusted that what dad brought wasn’t edible.
