Their size differential is so noticeable now. Can’t believe so many feathers are there on Lluvia. And what a glutton today grabbing and gulping huge mouthfuls. Lil Trueno still needs help. If these chicks were 3 days apart, I can’t wait to see future clips dated a few more days ahead. One raptor site familiar with these European eagles noted that the first born is more often female. I noticed the feminine “a” at end of her name. While males are typically smaller and note that Trueno ends in “o” the masculine ending. So I wonder if there is something to this. The first chick is noticeably larger to me. What say you?
@ oh! I have been wondering why Trueno is so light colored…if he was almost a leucistic eagle (or hawk) like one here in the US! You just solved that mystery for me! Thank you. I’m enjoying these booted eagles so much.
They're getting so big now 😊

Great insight! I agree. You can also draw the same conclusion by looking at the plumage colors. Females tend to be brown and males white.
