After sleeping in until nearly 8 a.m. and then having a cold cereal breakfast, I hopped on the treadmill for 35 minutes, and finished with resistance exercises. We spent the rest of the morning doing this and that. For one thing, I finally got around to reading the Sunday newspaper. It seemed like there were just too many distractions Sunday and Monday to leave time for reading.
Together, Hubbie and I made chef's salads for lunch. Mother came over after lunch, and we worked for a couple of hours on scrapbook pages and greeting cards.
At the eagle nest: the mother was there for a long time. She spruced the nest by moving small twigs and limbs around. I think the baby had pulled them out to practice perching on or to peck at, as though they were prey. After a while, the mother flew away, and soon came back with food. I couldn't tell what it was, but she fed it to the eaglet, who is as big as his mother now. Once he was full, he hopped/flew to another part of the nest, while the mother finished feeding. It was drizzly at the nest, today, and raindrops blurred the camera lens at times.
At one point, the mother kept trying to maneuver a rather large twig into the side of the nest, because it was sticking out, and every time the mother tried to walk across the nest, the twig poked her. The eaglet was in the path of the mother's work, though, and she nearly knocked him out of the nest in her determination to get that twig in the place she wanted it. The eaglet finally got the message and hopped/flew out of the way.
