March 2019; An unusal 3 American Bald Eagle hatchlings in a cramped nest on a fenced
property along Old McGregor Bd. in Iona, SW FL. The tree skeleton is not too tall, visuals are
easy. A strip mall with its large parking area and busy roads are within some 100 yards.

Top image has soon to fledge Alpha flapping its wings with Beta & Gamma looking on rather awed. Suddenly
a parent flew in on majestic wings, dropping a sizeable chunk of meat, apparently a half-skinned rabbit.

Bottom: There isn’t much struggle for an even share in this tight space. The great provider
sees to fairness amongst the brood before settling on a perch above. See next page...
