Coundown 365 ~ T-211

Continuing to monitor the Eagle Nursery, awaiting the time that the the "little ones" will commence their flight training. They continue to develop rapidly, often sparring against one another to determine dominance. They have also developed territorial instincts, while observing them, a crow came to the nest to pick up scraps, all three of the "Little Ones" took exception to the intruder by flapping their wings and cackling. I was also fortunate to see both adult Eagles come to the nest at the same time. This is the first time I have seen the entire family together since the young ones were first hatched. The nest is just a little small to house all five birds at the same time.
