Zenit was branching when Mom flies in with a large white gull! Zenit screams and makes it back to the nest to claim the prey with an amazing mantle. Zenit will be twelve weeks old this week and now mastered self feeding from start to finish on this prey. Mom would be very proud to see this accomplishment with Zenit able to pull and tear successfully and also pull off and swallow large bones including the feet!

Zenit pulls out the intestines at 21:17 and eats the organs very rich in nutrients! At 33:10 Zenit eats a leg bone and foot quite amazing watching this go down and another large bone at 37:13. Not much was left when Zenit finished this 1.75 hour feeding feast! Thank you for watching!

This nest is located in a remote area of Bucovina Romania where a pair of Golden Eagles have been nesting and raising their young. The Wild Bucovina Association is a non government and non profit organization that has set up a new webcam recently to observe a rare pair of golden eagles raise their chick. This pair has been observed locally for the past 6 years. Setting up the cam has spooked the male and he had not been back to the nest. On 6/13/21 the male returned to the nest with prey for the first time since the cam installation.The female is hunting and taking care of their chick.The male has been seen and photographed flying with the female close to the nest and is also hunting for the family. Due to the sensitive nature of nest disturbance & the consequences involved, caution is advised while viewing this wild golden eagle nest.
