The Vian eaglets are getting so big!
At Decorah, Mama feeds her babies. It looks like each is doing well.
Local USA time = 5:30 pm
Dad has been babysitting the chicks. Mama arrives home & they change places. Dad does not seem eager to yield his place atop his little ones.
Local USA time = 7:30 pm

All three chicks are vigorous & each gets food from Mama. Early in the video, an eager chick bites mom on the head! It's interesting that you can clearly see the egg tooth on each tiny beak.

At the Vian nest--
The nearly grown eaglets amuse themselves in the nest-- moving sticks & fish skulls about, wing exercise, trying to keep cool on a hot afternoon.

The close-ups are great, they have a good zoomie working the cam most of the time.
I didn't have time to watch much today, but when I looked just now, it was a windy night & the family was sleeping-- except for one restless little eaglet.

Breakfast. The younger baby bird receives less forages, in comparison with seniors

Three nests in different stages, thank you Venegor and Kitty
- One eaglet in Decorah was alone on the outside:
- when I looked a little later mum was alone, so I hope the eaglet is safe under her again.
Edit: Here they are all three, safe and sound..but the wind is really terrible.
