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

It's quite clear that dad is unwilling to change his place, mum almost have to push him out :laugh:

It's a wonderful video Kitty :wave:

I just found out that the third eaglet has hatched at Decorah...

- food, the smallest first..

- I love these parents, they seems so caring :loveshower:

Yes!

The third eaglet hatched at 03:15am CST, March 31. Here are a few pictures of them taken at about 18:45 local USA time.

All three chicks :bounce:

are vigorous & each gets food from Mama. Early in the video, an eager chick bites mom on the head! :rotf:

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.

Another feeding for the three little fluff-balls.

Local USA time = 7:40 pm

Baby birds receive enough food and develop normally

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.

It is a very windy night, 14 C (57 F). Mama keeps the babies snug.

Local USA time = 00:12 am, 2 April.

That that disturbs mum :puzzled:

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

Faster in flight

Breakfast.

Three nests in different stages, thank you Venegor and Kitty :wave:

- 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.
