Eaglets are getting more colour.



... and size.

[robbo]

Took this one of them this morning

[robbo]

These eaglets grow fast starting to feather up now

[robbo]

You can still see the age difference between the eaglets but the youngest continues to grow

[robbo]

The youngest is doing well as are the other 2 Eaglets

The youngest is doing well as are the other 2 Eaglets

Thanks to parents and to eaglets theirselves!

In your pictures there is so lovely sunshine, that it is hard to believe, the chicks got their first snow last sunday.

Our young eaglets got their first taste of snow on Sunday.
The mother eagle tried to provide some protection, but
the eaglets are getting too big to cover completely.

[robbo]

The 2 eldest eaglets are really starting to show a lot of feathers coming through, the youngest is still downy but contiues to grow

[robbo]

Must of been a bit cool, all 3 huddled together , doing well though

[robbo]

You can still clearly see the big size difference between the first 2 hatched and the last but all 3 seem to be still doing well

[Annie]

Yes, that is truly amazing... I wonder whether the chicks more equally a particular kind of development section,
or the relative difference in size is maintained. It will be interesting to see, how it goes.

Nest Update 03/30/11:
In the last couple days, we've seen our youngest with
meaning he's been getting a good share of the meals.

[robbo]

All 3 are still growing well

[Annie]

So good, robbo!

Here I have A part of feeding.

[robbo]

A great set of pictures Annie with both adult Eagles present, these Eaglets certainly dont look short of food

[robbo]

There all starting to look like young Eagles now, apparently there is a competition to name them





There still small enough to be still brooded by the adult female at times though

[robbo]

Still going strong
