I was watching and the momma and daddy bird traded places so the other could go eat.
This will get real interesting when the 3 eggs hatch.
Unusal to grow more than 2. Sometimes the 3rd is a runt. Parents just cant fetch enough food.

Look closely when the parent gets up to shift the eggs. They seem to be changing positions more often now. I noticed that one egg is cracked and another already has a hole in it, you could see the baby's beak sticking up through it!

I got to see them switch! I think it's the female who does most of the "nest fixing" .. she keeps pulling the nesting material closer to the eggs.
There is information on the eagles if you scroll down on the page.

Did anybody watch the puppycam a couple years ago? Some guy had a camera in his dog's kennel in the kitchen and you could watch 24/7. You could watch them learn to walk and then start wrestling with each other. It was so cute.

Saw one hatch about 10 min ago and hear it chirping. Don't know how they can breath with the Eagle sitting on the chicks, but I guess she/he knows what to do. This is so adorable to watch.

The baby is so adorable! There's still only one hatched. It's so tiny compared to the mama. I love to see how gentle the parent birds are. They pull the nesting material up around them like it's a blanket. So sweet!

someone else who is watching,,,one of MANY thousand,,said the eggs were laid about 2 days apart from last.
So should be another chick there Monday or so.
Watched the elder feed the newborn the rabbit too. Was that Peter rabbit or the Ether bunny???
They ARE scavengers of dead animals/prey prefered over live. So maybe we can presume a road kill or similiar.
Alot of eagles overwinter at a generating dam north of here. They set in trees waiting for a dead fish after going thru the generators that convert water fall to electricity.
I didnt know much about there lifestyle till I had a pair nesting on my property. After 10-12 years they moved a half mile to where they get LESS interupted.
People were hounding them to death.

We have eagles here too. I think I've seen one. It went by pretty fast as I was driving. Would like to see more. They are all around the lake here. I know what you mean about the dam. We have buzzards that hang out there! Maybe eagles too, I don't know!
Yuck on the dead rabbit. Didn't know it was likely dead when they got it. Glad we don't have smell-a-vision. Don't they also kill them?
I haven't seen either eagle eat .. unless he/she was taking a few bites between the feeding of the chick.
as for the other eggs.. thanks for info on when they were laid. I was wondering why we didn't have a second chick yet.
Amazing how the chicks can eat the meat straight from the rabbit. Many chicks are fed regurgitated food. (pre-digested)
he just fed the chick again!

Just had another feeding. One parent brought a new animal to the nest (prarie dog?), and the other one fed the chicks.
The oldest chick is attacking its sibling. How will that third chick even have a chance against him?

The 3rd chick should be here anytime now! They zoomed in on the egg this morning and you could see where a part of the shell was cracked and lifted up away from the rest. Must be hard work for the little one to break through.

Consider this .. The parents provide for their young without argument. They share their responsibilities with each other. They would never think about neglecting their young. And abuse is out of the question.
Isn't that how God created us all? Only we humans mess things up!

The 3rd chick hatched earlier this evening around 7:30-8pm. It came out when the parents were feeding the other two babies. It's amazing how much the older two have grown in just a few days. The new one looks so fragile compared to them.

The mother is having a heck of a time trying to keep all three chicks in the nest.
They keep trying to climb out and she has to pull more twigs and nesting up to keep them in.
It's really cute to watch. Anyone else wondering when the mother gets some private time and a square meal?

Yes, the babies are pretty hilarious right now. They keep popping out the front and sides of the parent.
The oldest one is really big and refuses to be kept under the parent any more. You can see him all the time now.

To catch them when they are feeding the babies, bring up the site and have your sound on. Then, minimize the site and stay at or near your computer.
When you hear the chicks chirping, then make the site full screen. They make a lot of noise when they are going to be fed.
Works every time.
They feed about every half hour now.

kadee.. Ever hear of the pecking order?? It's all a part of nature. Maybe it teaches the young ones to be tough.
Amazing how the adults can work their beaks to feed them. Those beaks are pretty big!!

I have looked at the nest cam everday to watch the eaglets since they hatched. They have been sitting on a branch in a tree for about a week. They fly from branch to branch, but haven't seen them fly anywhere.
The camera hasn't shown the nest recently, and when I look at night the camera is black.
Sammy,
are you saying that they are ready to take off and fly away? I thought they still come back to the nest to be fed, because they don't know how to hunt yet.
Very interesting indeed.
