Pricilla---I think it was a baby heron or some other wading bird.


New grass in the pantry for #3 to sleep on.



Here comes Mom--she's late!



She really has a lot of gray on her head.

#2 scratching like crazy



Mom flicking her head a lot...must be a lot of bugs in the nest tonight!



Mom left and the eaglets are sleeping alone.

Parent is on the nest this morning. It seems early to leave them alone all night. I have to remember they are all a month old on Saturday.
This morning parent is at 9 and the lets are sleeping, preening, stretching their wings and hanging out in the nest.







#1 is getting those darker feathers in now. And #3 is getting big.

2:14 The eaglets are on the nest alone. They have spent most of the last 2 nights alone on the nest. They are getting older but it seems toooo early for night time on the nest alone.



2:17 Parent begins to feed #2. The others do not seem too interested.

Thanks, Donna--nice s'caps of these growing chicks!! I haven't even looked at any nests yet--just finished setting up the Minnesota nest's opening posts. Did see a bit of the Blue Herons while I was working.

Youngest eaglet is getting a solo feeding. The oldest is getting more and more dark feathers. The nest bowl is disappearing and getting flattened.

Looks like the names Spirit, Faith and HOpe are favorites from the voting contest.

About the names----They are just OK to me. After 7 years of eaglet names I was really hoping for something other than the same type of names that everybody seems to pick for eaglets year after year. .
