Cuteness overload and hip hip hooray! TE3 got a nice feeding this morning and it looks like TE4 is on its way!
Cuteness overload and hip hip hooray! TE3 got a nice feeding this morning and it looks like TE4 is on its way!
Note the delectable little bites! New hatchlings are building strength and coordination, and they need an easy-to-swallow food that is 100% digestible: no bones, fur, or scales. Eyeball is an excellent hatchling food: eyeball are digestible, small, and slippery, which makes them easy for a hatchling to eat.
Mr. T has finally returned to the nest, although Mrs. T is still providing the majority of the care and nearly all of the feeding. This morning, Mr. T offered a single bite before taking the rest of the fish for himself. His behavior is typical of a first-time eagle dad. Is he the same Mr. T we’ve known before? We’re not sure but stay tuned: we’ll explore that possibility tomorrow.
