Looks like food gifting has begun.  MrN had a small fish on the nest about 11:00 this morning, not big enough to share.  But about 1:00 DNF brought fresh kill to the nest and called for MrN, who brought something to eat on a nearby branch.  What was it?  Who killed it?  It's good to see the Norths doing what they do in mid-December.  DNF cleaned up in the creek near the Spit, then preened in the Spit Tree.

The snow didn't stop them from soaring some before the 1:00 feeding.  Find on rewind.

The unknown carcass has become popular on the nest this morning. First DNF moved it out of the snow about 8:00. The male red-bellied woodpecker that has been visiting was there several times starting about 9:30, and a blue jay came, too.  At 11:00 the smaller birds are still nibbling away.

Male pheasant foraging in bushy area under the nest about 11:00 this morning.  Listen to it clucking on the rewind.

It's likely that the mystery carcass from yesterday was a pheasant.  The eagles like them and they are pretty easy to catch.  MrN finished off the carcass around 11:30.  Look out Mr Pheasant!

Brrr cold today.  The RBW has been foraging at the nest off and on. About 1:30 PM, MrN brought a fish to the nest and ate a bite or two.  DNF flew in hard to share it and startled him. He grabbed the fish and flew away with it.  Ah well, this bonding process isn't perfect.  DNF picked up a stick instead and moved it before flying away.
