ty for this...can I ask a question? when the pair is in the nest at the same time why does one seem mad, yesterday one came back with food and even tried to feed the babies and the other grabed the food out of its mouth like he or she didnt want the other to feed them...just curious...love watching them~ Beth

First of all, I am not an eagle expert. I am just like the majority of people here that are hooked on watching this pair of eagles. My opinion on the matter is I think most of us have a tendency of attaching human emotions to our feathery friends. I believe we need to remember that these are wild creatures and when we think one seems "mad" at another one that probably isn't the case. Of course it may actually be the case and maybe he just missed his morning coffee and had a bad day. :)

Moms are 30 percent larger and meaner too lol. Dont mess with a moms baby just like with humans. She looks tough, I like the eyeshadow.
