osprey double-dip this morning
another long, soft shot but too much fun to not post

Tagrivalry
Kate is bringing in a small fish
both chicks want it – that is Ice to the far left of the nest
now look just in front of Kate’s right talon – that is Wynd’s gaping beak
she got the fish and has learned in the past couple of days how to feed herself
this means Ice has to wait and see if she leaves any scraps
the yellow tinge to the photo is due to a wave of pine pollen

VIDEO of dad feeding the Much Bigger eagle chicks is at http://youtu.be/OwQ_o_4ATX0
in this photo you see dad to the right, Wynd in the middle and the black “shadow” to the far left is Ice
eagle catch
I had seen gull feathers in eagle’s nests
this morning was the first time I saw an eagle flying with a gull it had caught
the shot is a long one for my lens so the focus is a bit soft, but I wanted to share this event anyway
nesting materials flight
Petruchio worked hard against a high wind to cross the cove with these materials held tight
he almost missed the edge of the nest and I did miss the shot as he landed
these are photos that I took, one-handed because I was holding onto the blowing trees around me…
sorry about the soft resolution, but the shots are fun to watch, I think!
