12:06:59 looks like one of the eaglets tried feather ruffling

thank you Sonchik for finding this.
i'll quote Vērotāja's post here and add GT-translations

Saskaitītas pārtikas piegādes no 1. līdz 5. ligzdošanas nedēļai un salīdzinātas ar pagājušo gadu.
(2020.gadā 18.04 - 22.05; 2019.gadā 17.04 - 21.05)

Pirmajās 35 ligzdošanas dienās ir piegādātas 135 pārtikas vienības (pērn 97)
no tām:
130 piegādāja Raimis (pērn 90)
5 piegādāja Milda (pērn 7)

Struktūru par dienām var redzēt šajā tabulā:
Food deliveries for the 1st to the 5th nesting week were counted and compared to the previous year.
(18.04 - 22.05 in 2020; 17.04 - 21.05 in 2019)

135 food items delivered in the first 35 nesting days (last year 97)
of which:
130 delivered by Raimis (last year 90)
5 delivered by Milda (7 last year)

The structure for the days can be seen in the following table:


Šajā gadā piegādes ir palielinājušās par 39%.
Tabulā pa nedēļām var redzēt, ka barības samazinājums šogad bija tikai 4.nedēļā, tomēr piegādātās 28 pārtikas vienības ir vairāk, nekā jebkurā no ligzdošanas nedēļām pagājušā gadā.

Tabulā redzams arī vidējais pārtikas piegāžu daudzums dienā.
Deliveries have increased by 39% this year.
The table by week shows that the reduction in feed this year was only in week 4, however, the 28 food units delivered are more than in any of the nesting weeks last year.

The table also shows the average amount of food delivered per day.



Tomēr sarēķinot vidējo pārtikas daudzumu uz vienu mazuli dienā, šogad tas bija 1,21 (kamēr viņi bija trijatā), pret 1,39 pagājušajā gadā.
Lai gan, šis rādītājs nav īsti objektīvs, jo zivju izmērs nav vienāds. Kaut ko apēd vecāki barojot un kaut kas tika aprakts ligzdā. Bet kā salīdzinošs rādītājs noder, ka tomēr uz vienu mazuli barības bija tikai 87% no pagājušā gada daudzuma. Tas zināmā mērā izskaidro ligzdā notikušo.

Interesanta detaļa, laikam Raimim labāk garšo karpas, jo aizēstas parasti bija tieši tās. Ne uzreiz sāku rakstīt vai zivs vesela vai aizēsta, bet neatradu pierakstos, ka aizēsta būtu līdaka.
However, calculating the average amount of food per baby per day, this year it was 1.21 (while they were in threes), up from 1.39 last year.
Although, this indicator is not really objective, because the size of the fish is not the same. Something was eaten by the parents while feeding and something was buried in the nest. But it is useful as a comparative indicator that only 87% of last year's amount was fed per baby. This explains to some extent what happened in the nest.

An interesting detail, probably Raimis tastes carp better, because they were usually eaten. I did not immediately start writing whether the fish was whole or eaten, but I did not find in the notes that the pike was eaten.

it seems that Raimis increased his efforts but not enough to cover the needs of three chicks. the bad fishing luck during one week was fatal.
thank you Vērotāja!

13:43 Milda out rather suddenly after looking in the sky for a while.


then Raimis called nearby.

[ame]

14:39 fish by Raimis!


this is a carp i think.


he began to feed. no Milda nearby so he may do it.

[Crissy]

Tail looked like Raimis

[ame]

oo-yes it's Raimis.
the claws are almost as big a Daddy's!
the feet and head belong to different eaglets. the other head is under Raimis.

[ame]

14:49 feeding over.
is Seconda on the front left? huuuge claws!
i think we have at least one girl in this family.

she bit Raimis in the tail.


Raimis flew out.


delivery and feeding.

[Crissy]

YT chat moderator is convinced it was Milda who brought the fish, well they have not done their homework

[Silky]

Secondas position between daddys legs was rather unfortunate. She didn't get much of the fish...

[ame]

Silky, i think that her crop isn't empty either, but the other got more.
there will be more fish.

14:53 after input comes output.


14:56 WEx.

[ame]

14:49 they played with a roll of hay.
15:01 some beak measurement. the eaglet on the right had more black on her back so that's Primo. the other had the huge ankles, Seconda.


two girls?


also some wing exercises.

[ame]

15:09:44 eagle's voice. Milda? or Raimis? he was here last and Milda was nowhere near. i think it had to be Raimis.

15:13:28 (about) more calls. the eaglets were looking at something. a jay was calling nearby.

[ame]

15:23 WEx. if this is not a girl then i don't know who is.... but is this Seconda or Primo?

[Floppy Fish]

Seconda has a white small patch on the front of the head. Primo has a few white streaks there instead.

Primo has still more white feathers on the back of the head (but not for long, I expect).

Edit: Thanks for the statistics, Vērotāja/ame/Sonchik!

[ame]

16:43 eagle called? yes, i think it was Raimis.
16:45:34 again!

[ame]

17:07 that was a close shot.


then WEx.


17:13 more WEx.
17:14 more. and standing between WEx.
17:15 more.

[ame]

17:55 Raimis came with hay.

17:57 he flew away.

i have to go...
Sonchik found later how Raimis flew from the meadow. i'll keep the pictures here although there will be too many pictures sorry!
the pictures will help to see Raimis (if your eyes are good enough. mine quite aren't)

Raimis was sitting on the ОО2 flying like this.

18:03 one eaglet is standing tall


18:03:28 parent calling

Milda has not returned since she flew out quite suddenly in the afternoon

18:57:28 an eagle call from far? i think im wrong
19:03 eaglet preening
19:10 wing exercises
19:12 again + poop shot. Eaglet is standing and tried to preen herself, that needs more exercising
19:23 eaglet is observing something on the ground
19:25 poop shot
19:26 eaglet spreads its wings
