The eaglets Brutus and Lil Guy just cannot catch a break.

There was a partial nest collapse this evening. Most of the supporting bottom is gone as well as half the nest surface. What is left has shifted, continues to shift, and is listing precariously. How long it will stay intact is questionable.

The nest bed is supposed to be the size of a king sized bed. The structural depth is supposed to be 5-6 feet.





Brutus has fledged and can fly as needed. He has also tried eating while perched before but hasn't mastered it. And, he is quite used to and adept at perching on a branch.

Lil Guy has barely branched. He has never flown. He has never tried to eat while on a branch. And, he likes to rest/sleep laying down. Perching is not his thing.

At least they were both well fed today. A full tummy will be helpful while they figure this out. Adaptability means survival in the wild.

Dad stopped by a bit ago, did a wtf did you kids do while I was gone cursory look and kept on going. Mom is keeping her distance. The kids get excited, hop up and down and flap when they see a parent, thinking food is coming. Jumping up and down right now would not be a good idea.

I'm getting too old for this shit. LOL.
