I agree. Happy to be able to enhance the experience in some small sliver of a way, thank you. Live streams of active Aquila chrysaetos nests are so very rare, it is a privilege to observe. It feels very special, doesn't it? I don't want to squander the opportunity. Maybe it will become less rare, or maybe it won't.

Before we continue, I would just like to think over the day, and note, that, we didn't see Helju all day. Not once. Unless I missed a swift pit stop, which is always possible. I don't recall that happening yet this season, or am I forgetting? Kalju stopped by. Onward.

09:26:40-09:48:38 - Margit feeds from yesterday's anatid.

17:41:13-17:46:29 - It takes a pretty five minutes to figure out how to get this final old anatid leg down the gullet in one fell swoop.

Rousing. "Simultaneous erection of all the feathers, especially the contour feathers, shaking and then slowly lowering them."
