Video of Eagle taking Cowlitz PUD osplet off nest —- without sound.

15 June 2022

Apologies for the first video posting. I did not realize that the sound from the Ferris Akel Tour was on it!

Very sad. Intruders are to be taken ever so seriously. That wee Middle Bob was so enjoying his fish dinner.

The nest at Cowlitz Washington had such tragedy last year with the hottest summer ever and little fish and siblicide with all osplets dying. These three were doing so well. Big Bob was getting those lovely juvenile feathers and everyone seemed to be growing with the nest being OK. Then this!

It has been a very bad year all around the world.

Thank you to the Cowlitz PUD streaming cam where I took my video clip.

    That’s so sad. I wonder if the eagle thought it was the fish the Mom was feeding the little ones?
    I’m sad when this happens at any nest.
    Thanks Mary Ann

      Good question, Linda. Since their eyesight is so good I would wonder.
