One thing that stood out to me was the way the little ones bowed their heads and waited, letting the parents deal with the issue. I always wonder about how defenseless they are at that age, given their physical size and development. Thanks for posting that, Bunnie. I will have to watch it a few more times.

It looked like to me the intruder was another juvie eagle that was just trying to invite itself to dinner. I guess it picked the wrong house. LOL

It was very interesting to see the reaction of the kids and their instant understanding that something was wrong. They really did understand whatever it was their mother was saying didn't they!

Mom and Dad spend some time on one of their favorite perches. They're probably discussing how they're going to enjoy their freedom once the kids leave home. Arky is 76 days old and Dakota is 74 days old.

This vid is from a couple of days ago. Funny!

LOL! I wonder if many of these raptors ever fledge on purpose don't you? Seems like most of them fludge instead.

Happy Independence Day! Our wonderful Cam Operator was up bright and early this morning. Thank-you so much. We find Arky and Dakota in the same spots there were in when darkness fell last night. Looks like their nights on the nest are behind them. Arky is 82 days old and Dakota is 80 days old.

Honestly I prefer the owl method of swallowing the food whole to watching this. GAG!!! LOL!
