Good Evening, Fellow VirtualEaglePushers!!
Hopes for a fledge were dashed again today as the kids stubbornly refused to leave the nest. Maybe the strong winds had something to do with it or maybe it was the thoughts of all the chatters not wanting them to leave. Let’s try to be positive tomorrow! Harmony and Peace need some encouragement to get off the nest and flying! So cheer them on as much as you can tomorrow. I am sure they will appreciate it. I know I will.
Breakfish today was another aquatic avian (gosling, we think) and the usual scuffles ensued. Peace takes delivery, Harmony steals, Peace tries to steal back.... ad infinitum. They both got a fairly good meal out of it and were back being best buddies 30 minutes later. They played fake out the chatters and the cam gnome when he was around. Up the tree, down the tree in all the possible combinations. Napping, PSing and treasure hunting in the nest were also on the agenda today. Peace did find something semi- edible on the edge of the nest and Harmony succeeded in stealing that, too. Late in the evening (and I do mean late, you could hardly see on the nest) DAD delivered a tasty fishy for the kids to wrestle with and parked himself on the trunk to watch. The scenario went as described above. Peace is a nibbler and needs to learn to eat faster and bigger. That way Harmony won’t get as much of Peace’s dinner.As darkness completed falling there was the sound of contentment on the nest. In other words, it was quiet for the first time today.
