Hi Talon, Karen, Lisa,
I just took this pic and I see fish in the pantry. I hope this is a good sign.

Mrs. T appears to be continuing to be a spectacular single parent.  Both eaglets seem to be active and fed.  Mrs T sometimes has to leave the nest to hunt and obtain food, which leaves the babies vulnerable, but she doesn't have much choice.  No-one knows how this will all turn out, but for now things seem ok with the Trempealeau eagle nest.

Thankfully the next three days will be in the 70's. Later next week it will be in the 40's. As they get bigger and harder to brood I worry a bit about the temps at night. The little one does not get much but it has been fed. The older one does bonk it pretty good but that is normal for all the nests I have watched. It is the pecking order. The male has not been in the nest all week. SMH

The older chick climbed out of the nest bowl for a while yesterday and has done so again today.  I don't know if that is significant or not.

Mr T sighting at the nest at about 11:30 this morning? Mrs T didn't seem very happy but she eventually left the nest to him.

Adult eagle just left the nest after sitting there a while while I was watching - I missed y s'cap of parent, but I didn't see a dark fleck in its lower left eye's iris, so I wonder if it was Mr. T. This is the s'cap I took of the 2 eaglets reight after the adult left the nest. Both eaglets have beem resting and alternatey lifting their heads and looking around or re-positioning themselves.  :-* :-*

Here are a couple of pics from when he was seen Saturday. MRS. T.  wasn't happy that he wanted something to eat. He took some fish jerky with him.

This past weekend she brought in a walleye. I fish up there at the damn. She must be finding them in a shallow spawning area as walleye are found on the bottom, usually deep except for the spawning time which is now. Here is one pic from today.

#2  Always on the short end of feedings Lani.  I really get upset that ME seems only tuned in to the bigger (pushy) one.  I have to stop watching - it's very upsetting to me.
