Great pictures BUNNIE!! Although they are totally soaked, they are still so totally adorable!!

Samson and Delilah took turns dismantling and devouring the squirrel today. The mods thought it was Juliet that did a food drop, but they said it was so quick and Delilah was mantling right away that it was hard to really tell which parent it was. These two former bobbleheads are rapidly becoming very respectable Raptors!!

Samson and Delilah are getting very close to branching. It will probably be within the next week or two. I can't express what a great experience it has been to watch and learn from this nest. Because of the clarity of this camera it's been fun and easy to tell the difference between Romeo and Juliet and also Samson and Delilah. This is the first time I've been able to see all of the feathers and the parts of the feathers as well as the color of eyes and tiny specks within them. The reflection in their eyes showed the great surroundings they are in.
Gretchen has made this happen; of course with the help and technology of Al Cecere and American Eagle Federation. I am so excited about all the great snippy's I have gotten from this sight so I can look back and learn again. It was good to know that this nest is wild and they had no intention to interfere with its occupants. The zoomies had an eye for the wild too. They had the capabilites to zoom on the insides of the nest; even things as small as the left over scales of a fish, or the seeds that fall from the pine tree. I will look forward to watching this again next season.

Great pictures BUNNIE. Did you see Delilah catch air??? Yikes!! I have no more fingernails.
