This is the third day that the juvie has returned to the nest to steal food. In the morning, the juvie steals Gabby's fish & eats it. The juvie then lies down in the nest. When Bodie tries to eat some leftovers, the juvie becomes very aggressive biting Bodie, grabbing its head & jumping on him/her. Bodie bravely defends itself from this attack. A few seconds later, the juvie attacks Bodie again and then goes up sunset branch. Bodie lays down in the nest a bit traumatized.

Beau arrives a couple hours later with prey but the juvie was still in the tree. Beau started to eat fast, Bodie laid down submissive and the juvie flies in hot and steals the food and chases Beau out of the nest at couple of times. Beau waits twenty minutes, comes back to the nest, reclaims his prey and when the juvie was looking to steal it again, he kicked it out of the nest. The juvie did not leave the area just went to a branch below the nest to wait.

Finally Bodie was able to go to Dad and get a good feeding that went on for over an hour. When Beau was finished, Bodie turned around and we could see what a huge crop it had! Good job Beau! Thank you for watching!
