Amazing, the trailer, that little one swimming across the pond! Who knew!! Guess they do what they have to, to survive.

Watched it for the first time last night.  I'm a tough critic, but it did have some pretty good moments.  I didn't know that Mama would feed the deceased to the other chicks.  It was also interesting that only experienced adults winter over in the Tundra.  I'll watch it again.   :foxbinocs:

I watched it yesterday also and wow, MAK for-warned me about the mom feeding the baby to the others. I loved how she looked at the little weak one with such concern then went over and brooded it. :(   A special moment indeed. Was  really well made and I'll keep it on my DVR for future viewing!

I admit I bailed out on the segment when the youngest started failing. I had a feeling the mother would do that with scarcity of food.

It was very well done. Who knew an owl would voluntarily swim?

That part stunned the camera crew also!  :o

I know they CAN-we've seen eagles do it when they had to-but to intentionally jump in to get to the other side? And at their age? Must be something they actually do all the time. just never seen before.
