28 May 2022 (Saturday):

In Nest: Shift change: Altyn out, Altynai in
(& Eaglet 1 & pipped 2nd egg)

Orientation: facing to the left of camera.

04.25.34 - Altynai returns, via right branch. Pauses, Walks down branch into nest. Altyn only rises when Altynai is beside him. He hops to his left & moves close to the camera as she nibbles at the leftovers.

Eaglet 1 can be seen looking up at Altyn. Starts to look as if petitioning (for food I gather), neck reaching head up, tracking Altyn's movement as he walks in front of our view.

Eaglet 1 thus ends up looking up in Altynai's direction, as she wrestles more with the leftovers. Altyn hops up to the left limb to perch. Altynai draws closer, entering the nest bowl, puts her beak close to the eaglet's face, then rolls eggs. She reorients, rolls eggs more...

04.25.38 - Altyn flies off.

... eventually settling with the eaglet under her breast, eggs under her.

Altyn is flying away

9:44 Altynai takes the gopher and then puts it back
Then he takes the remains [(tail feathers)?] of the groundhog

9:45 And starts feeding the babies. The older one first. And the younger one has already dried off and become a cute fluffy. And he holds his head perfectly confidently!

9:50 Even ate a piece! And rather big!
Meal time is over. Altynai gathers everyone to herself
And sits down


10:09 Gets up to roll the remaining egg. But now it's not easy to do. Since there are two babies under the paws

10:51 Starts feeding. The elder does not want to eat (and this is not surprising) The younger one is also not hungry yet, and it's still difficult to make grasping movements - his head is hanging out and collapsing

10:54 The first fight (well, if you can call it that)

10:56 Altynai finished feeding and flew away. The kids are left alone and try to fight)))

11:00 Altyn arrived and covered the treasures

10:59 Altynai returns with kaka
Altyn is flying away.
Altynai covers the chicks and the egg
Altynai gets up. She is hindered by this dry branch. Having dealt with it,
She rolls the remaining egg and gathers it and the chicks under her.

17.33 it starts to lighten. Looks like the rain will stop soon.
Altynai is already completely wet. And the chick under her begins to move.
Sitting motionless and not changing position for four hours!

18.52 Altynai finally gets up.
She shook herself.

18.53 It's time to feed the kids.
The kid is real brave. Trying to take a piece from the elder. Grabs big chunks.

Fed. Moved the food closer.

Sit down to warm the kids.
I noticed that the little one again did not swallow a large piece. Pulled it out. And tries to feed him again.

19.04 Sat down to incubate.

19.09 Altynai gets comfortable.
