When K10 brings a fish to the nest, the chick charges and grabs it. But it's still too young to eat it on it's own, so it waits impatiently for Dad to help. Once Dad starts feeding it, it grabs the bites out of his beak as fast as it can. Listen for a faint vocalization by the chick at 4:14 into the video.
You can read about the struggle to reintroduce America's symbol, the Bald Eagle, to the Channel Islands as well as watch this miracle of nature via live eagle-cam by going to http://www.iws.org and clicking first on 'interactive' and then choosing one of the 3 nests to view.... 2 are on Catalina Island and 1 on Santa Cruz Island or go to: http://z7.invisionfree.com/CHIL_EagleCAM/index.php?act=idx
Next step will be mantling the fish, very funny!!

Hilarious, he doesn't know what to do with the fish once he gets it.
