2 views of Quizzical watching mom Kate tear apart fish to feed him.
He is getting big enough that my lens has an easier time getting details!

Tageagle family report: 4/1/2016 Kate & Quizzical
The breeze had been gently bouncing Kate, perched at the end of the peninsula.
Then she was across the cove, fishing.
Quick turn around and Kate was at the nest feeding Quizzical.

at last I was able to get some decent video of Quizzical
he is about 7 weeks old and starting to dream of flight
Eagle Family report: Quizzical glows
The brilliant white semi-circle is the top of Quizzical’s head in the late afternoon sunshine.
At this age the chick appears to have a dark grey mask as he is losing his lighter colored hatching down.
It is the down that has wild spikes and a white glow.

O, how quickly eaglets grow.
Quizzical has gotten enough strength to hold his head up and survey more of the world.
This photo was done Saturday morning, dark and cloudy.
Me and Walker (my camera) did our best to show you the eaglet.

Eagle Family Report: Oh, my, my, my!
I got my first glimpse of a chick in the Eagle Family nest.
That is mom Kate touching the chick with her beak.
At the moment the eaglet is a light grey fluff ball with big eyes and a big beak.
If you go to the Arkive site (one of my favorite wildlife sites) at https://shar.es/1YXPoz
you can see an excellent closeup photo of a chick – wish I had the set up for that kind of photo!
