Hi everyone, and Merry Christmas!

The eagle feeding got a head start today with two feedings.  The first feeding was at 8:45.  There were no eagles at the site and no other birds observed.  I put out two buckets of small birds and one of medium sized birds.  It was mild at +1 and the winds were from the west, light to moderate gusting to strong.   Virtually all of the snow is gone with only trace amounts left on the field.

I checked back at 9:30 and there was quite a change.  There were a dozen or more crows and one or two ravens feeding at the site and five adult eagles feeding sporadically.

The second feeding was at 10:35.  There were six eagles in the trees or in the air, the five adults having been joined by one juvenile.  The wind had picked up to a steady strong breeze, still from the west.  The number of crows was up to about 20.

All the food from the first feeding was gone.  I put out two more buckets of mixed small and medium birds.  The eagles did not feed immediately.

We're under way and at ;east some eagles have rediscovered the site.
