platform. Dropped 510 g of rat, chick, and fish in the nest.

A: All BAR. Baby that was out was very wet, which was the reason we decided to place
back in the nest. With the new food platform and ramp, they may be able to climb
back up to the nest if they fall out again. It's unknown whether the baby was able
to get to the chopped food from the AM feeding or if one or both adults ate it.

putting a ramp up to the nest or another food platform in case eaglet cannot get
back into nest by themself.
