Re: Golden Eagle Webcam Nest 2022
Our little visual butterfly hunt continues. We must continue following Margit's gaze.

This is too much impulse control. Margit pursues, though not seriously. She just tries to get closer. The butterfly is, of course, very sensitive to movement and easily keeps out of reach.

Kalju arrives with prey. It appears to be a chick. Precocial down, small hallux. It may have that dark throat patch. Too difficult to see.

It should be noted that we have not seen Helju since 2022-06-28 at 15:04:00. Nor have I heard her vocalizations, though I may have missed hearing them. Kalju delivered prey on both days that she was visually absent from the eyrie. One item each day. A mature sized duck, and a chick, probably of the wading bird variety, respectively.

Margit leaps again, forward. She lands too close to the forebranch for her comfort, and so leaps backward just as impressively.

Preening.
Note: Tomorrow is a hike day for us. I will try to work around it, in my way. No promises. Just know that I don't want to miss documenting a day, either. Have a good one, folks. Keep an eye and an ear out for Helju. I can't help but worry after her a pinch.
