This is an interesting video.  I have it started near the end because there's a long lull in the middle.  But what you see is Mom eagle coming back to the nest after going fishing.  What she brings in is pretty wild.

The beginnng of the video has Dad coming to the nest with food and you see how the parenting works between the adults.  So, watch where I've tagged the video then rewind to the start.  #Eaglelife  Smiley

BTW, it's easy to tell this pair apart just in size alone.  Mom is much larger (and older).

So that was dad catching his breath before flying off for more?


In the beginning of the video it's Dad who comes in with a pint size meal for the family of 5.  After Mom feeds the youngsters she decides it wasn't enough so flies off to go fishing and comes back with quite the catch.  And seeing her out of breath after that haul was quite a sight.  I've read that baldys can carry half of their weight in the air.

Dad is only about 4 years old where Mom is in her teens I believe.  Original Dad went missing during an April blizzard back in 2018.  His body was never found.  So, new young Dad is still a novice fisherman I guess.  This is the beginning of that long video cued up to where Dad comes back from fishing.
