Those are wonderful, Sharon! It must be great to be able to watch them flying!

Adult in with fish






And it's looking to me as if the adult (Mom?) is now eating the big fish from earlier, while one of the two chicks on the nest is carefully hoarding the new fish, even though they all seem to full to actually do any eating just yet. I am glad that Mom is getting some fish - she does look a bit on the skinny side at present.



And I'm out for a while.

Oops, forgot to say thanks Judy for the photo input tips!

More playtime swooping:

And here's that BORING fish delivery from 11:50ish this morning, glad to hear mom is getting to enjoy it now...

Hello arkyquest! Thanks so much for the photos and description of the neighbourhood. It does indeed sound very urban and it is always good to be reminded of the sort of surroundings our birds are nesting in. (Did you know that one of the HWF eagle nests is smack dab in the middle of a concrete production facility?!)

Birds are surely very adaptable when it comes to living among all the 'clutter' of humans.

Sharon and Thank you for the spectacular pictures.... and the descriptive post of the area....Osprey and like Terry said Eagles are very adaptable creatures....

One chick moved up for some fish..Mom is feeding him


3:53pm

As I turned to go, I realized I was standing almost right underneath Mom! She delivered the fish and then retreated to the north side of the river, but had a great view of the nest (as did I!).

Who's that up there over the path??


Who's that down there under my tree??


Profile shot anyone??

Mom was entertaining a visitor in her tree, a magpie dropped by and they exchanged pleasantries:


And then UNpleasantries:


And then Mom headed back to the nest:


That's all for now - I'll try to pop back before "our" family leaves for the winter.
