9:00 am feeding

Weather was overcast with a light snow falling and a temperature of -6.  A couple of inches of powder fell overnight.  No wind, so temperature was comfortable.

I distributed one bucket of medium to large chickens.  Waiting time for the fifteen spectators was under five minutes.  As was the case yesterday it was mostly ground action, albeit pretty good.  I counted about 35 eagles.

11:00 am feeding

The number of eagles didn't swell as much as yesterday as the were no more than 40 eagles present.  The temperature had risen to +1 so that may have influenced numbers.  It remained overcast so no patches of blue and sun today.

I didn't have any chicks today so I distributed 1 bucket of small chickens and 1 bucket of medium to large.  Again, waiting time was under 5 minutes.  A decent aerial show and a very good ground show followed.  The crows and ravens were very active as well.  There were 15 - 20 spectators.

I have noticed that so far this year there haven't been as many juveniles.  I counted 5 today which means the adults are outnumbering the juveniles by 6 or 7 to  1.  I haven't recorded numbers for previous years but it feels like a low juvenile count this year.
