MpMom, you are quick!  Great captures.

Lori, thank you for the lovely video. 

The first capture was taken earlier -- "This meeting of the juvenile eagles of Lake Onalaska is called to order."   ;D

The others were more about when MP took her captures.

 :)  A few more from earlier.  What we are seeing here from this RRP camera is just amazing!   ;D  8)

Seeing all the varying stages of plumage on the bald eagles is spectacular!  They are all magnificent!

Probably a barred owl since they can hunt during the day and they will fish out of a larger body of water like a lake.

I thought eagles & owls didn't get along... is that not true?  I remember twice on N2B an owl late at night bothering Mom.

Fabulous screen captures everyone!  Thank you so much.  I was so surprised to see an owl there in the afternoon  :)

T40, capture with eagles and the owl is priceless.  Thanks!

Lori - Eagles would be live-and-let-live if hunger and predators didn't interfere. Owls are one of the direct threats to eagle nestlings and eagles will defend their nest against them. But owls can just be "mean," in a way, like knocking Mom off the skywalk for no apparent reason and divebombing the eaglets in the nest before they had fledged.

If that had been an eagle with prey, it probably would have been challenged and/or chased for it. The owl was allowed to get away clean to enjoy it's lunch.

Very well then :)  Peace for today.  Thanks T40 for your explanation.
