West End Eagles ~ The Magnificent Trio š„š„š„ Koa Treasure u0026 Sterling Flying u0026 Soaring The Skies 7.1.24
The West End Trio continue to stay together at the nests & engage in some beautiful flybys, flying & soaring! All three are seen chasing a parent for a food delivery (someone got it off cam!) and they are seen on the natal nest and historic nest off and on. We have one of the juvie attempting to land on the cam pole with a loud bang and it shaking up the viewing for a few seconds before flying off! Beautiful flight of Sterling off the historic nest in slomo and Treasure's flyby in the late afternoon setting sun! They truly are the magnificent trio! (coverage is from July 1st and June 27th) Thank you for watching!
