Here are a few pics of a different view point midway up Skinners Butte.

This first one, the male is on his way to land at the nest. Looks like he’s carrying a fish.

Final Approach

After the adult landed and fed the young ones, he took off then came back and settled on a branch.

This last photo, you can see one of the young eagles fairly clearly. the other eagle is on the right, not really easy to tell what that one is.

Took a while, but caught one of the adults landing.

then, grabbed a shot of that shows both juveniles.
You can see one on the left, the other one is between the two trunks, just barely able to see the head.

I stopped off today, took some pics. The birds were a little hard to see, but when I put a few of them together in an animated GIF, it’s really quite clear what they’re doing.
Here’s the animated GIF.

The ‘movie’ feature of my camera would have been the wrong exposure.
the following is one of the originals I used to assemble the GIF above.
