The head can't be seen but Dad delivers what looks very much like a rat to the nest with outside possibilities of it being a young possum or muskrat. Mom does her usual tea kettle as Dad flies in with the prey but she doesn't do anything to indicate that she wishes for Dad to allow her to recover the prey. At 0:26 Dad moves the rat to the middle of the nest. With the morning rain Mom put in long Mombrella hours and was due for a break so she left the nest at 0:41. Dad pokes around the right front of the nest and takes a few nibbles of something there. While Dad is investigating the nestover situation D25 does a cute little semi-rouse at 1:04 followed by some slow, tai chi style wingercising at 1:14. At 1:35 Dad pulls a fish out of the nestover pile and starts to feed it at 1:46. D24 does a warble at 2:05 followed by a poop shoot at 2:22 then starts to waddle towards the dinner table where he or she does some self-serving. Dad moves the fish out of reach at 3:22 and stops feeding the eaglets but eats the fish himself. I cut some footage of Dad eating which is noted in the video.
