I've been watching the activity at the 2 OK eagle nests fitted with cams. Some interesting pics on the site of an apparent fight that resulted in the death of a young male eagle that wandered into a nesting pairs' territory. Read and see pics at http://www.suttoncenter.org/pages/live_eagle_camera

I noticed some aggressive behavior on the part of the larger chick yesterday. Was pecking and pushing the smaller one. Hope the little guy makes it. Sometimes nature seems cruel.
