Latvian Golden Eagles~ Spilve Knocks Klints Over With A Branch! Virsis Arrives With A Bird! 6.5.20

Virsis flies in with a bird in his beak while Klints was taking an afternoon nap! He comes over to check Klints out but the chick is sound asleep in a food coma. Spilve can be heard calling in the background - Virsis stays only a short time and departs.
Later, Spilve takes off and brings in big pine branch and knocks right into Klints on the delivery! She even steps on him but he quickly bounces right back up! Spilve then places her branch on the nest while Klints watches and tries to get out of her way lol This is one tough kid! Thank you for watching!

Virsis, a Golden Eagle male, and Spilve, a newly-mature Golden Eagle female, breed in their artificial nest, which was installed in 2010. Most recently the eagles successfully breed here in 2016. The nest is located in a bog on an island managed by the Latvian State Forests. Last year a female (Spilve) appeared regularly but she was too young to breed. For 2020, Spilve laid two eggs - on March 28th and April 1st. Egg #1 is non viable & egg #2 hatched on May 10, 2020.
