Beware the three feeding day!  Three feedings yesterday and milder weather brought a long delay on the second feeding today.

The first feeding went well with about 65 eagles counted and a prompt start to the action, which provided good aerial and excellent ground displays.  However, there was a forty-five minute wait for the eagles to come down for the second feeding.  I had departed to do some errands and by the time I returned the action was over.  I didn't get a count and can't comment on the quality of the display.

On the strength of that I cancelled the third feeding at noon.  I did, however, return at 2:00 pm and threw out a single bucket of small to medium chickens - more to empty the bucket that fill the eagles.  I counted about a dozen at the time but there were more in the trees when I returned.  What I saw was mostly aerial - to be expected given the size of chicken I threw out.

We are supposed to get snow overnight.  I can confirm the 8:30 and 10:30 feedings and have reserved stock for a possible third feeding, which will depend on demand from above (in the trees).
