Pile perches found in the woods near nest 21
I found those near a path that passes in the vicinity of the nest tree. Looks like maybe a parent lost them on the way in to the nest? One was partly dry and one was fresh. Both were about 6 inches long. I'm just surprised that the eagles would bother with something that small, but it's possible that these fish would get trapped in a shallow tide pool on Big Tribune, making them an easy snack, like the little eels Booni saw at Whaling Station beach. I relocated those fish in a clearing, where hopefully Mom Tribune would be able to retrieve them.
