April 28 s'cap by Skipper - #1 is getting bigger - dark gray down coming in and bigger wings and feet


Summary

breakfast at dawn - 5:38 am - all got a bit

6:41 am - Dad brings fish, Mom feeds eaglets - all get some

8:42 am - more feeding for #1 and #2

10 am - #1 and #3 both eat peacefully while #2 sleeps; #2 joins later, and #3 continues to get lots of food

noon - Dad brings another fish, which did a bit of flopping about

noted that #1 is beginning to show feathers - link

one of the chicks hit Mom with a poop shot - not sure if she noticed

#1 did some more wandering around in the nest, and I think #2 got out as well

More feedings later - sounded as if everyone is doing well

May 1 s'cap by anna-holland - notice how big the beaks are getting, and #1's tiny prickly feathers


As of the morning of May 1, the Discussion thread had 6,833 posts and 312,785 views, and the Timeline thread had 2133 views.

Summary:

#2 got the most at the first feeding, #1 got some, #3 slept

view of chicks blocked in next couple of feedings but based on length of feeding seems likely all were fed

#2 nibbled at the rabbit that was served earlier - first noted self-feeding attempt - link

Later feedings seemed peaceful, and all were fed

All were wandering around and spent some time over by the poo art tree (tree trunk at back of nest)

May 2 s'cap by Birdsie - Mom tries to tuck 3 big chicks in out of the rain


Summary:

#2 and #3 fed at first observed feeding; perhaps #1 was fed earlier

rainy day, and eaglets are getting too big to all fit underneath

lots of fish brought in today, and everyone fed

May 4 s'cap by Lonette - #3 does like to do what the big eaglets do


Additional s'cap by sunshinecoast - look at the big feet!


Summary

eaglets alone for over an hour - adults likely nearby, but another sign of getting older

lots of food for all

[Note - I'm looking for unusual activity and firsts right now because I don't have time to do complete reports on the day's activities - but there are a lot of wonderful posts, great s'caps that I can't include because the post would be way too long, and marvelous videos. You can click on the date to go to the posts for that day - and it's well worth the trip! ~JudyB]

May 5 s'cap by yalitldevl - all lined up for food


Summary

#1 is three weeks old

rainy day

looks as if one poop shot got the lower left corner of the CU cam - it's looking fuzzy

eaglets all moving into the "big feet" stage

second poop shot in upper right in the afternoon

some intimidation during the day, but all fed in the end
