Mom is off again after she found a snack for kids at 1:25. Look at these huge crops.



I am off now for a bit....

Hopefully Mom will be back soon and not be AWOL like she was yesterday. Here's another look at their nice crops



They are taking a nap now.

Great pictures - and thanks for the background information!

I didn't realize the cam could zoom....







Mary, I don't actually know - but my impression when Mom and Dad arrived was that Dad flew in from somewhere off to the left, but Mom flew down, as if she'd been perching further up in the tree.

JudyB...Yes this cam has great zooming capabilities...I'm sure that I read that it's a PTZ camera..

You could be right about Mom dropping down from the tree. Often we hear sounds like there is someone on the wooden case around the cam--similar to the one on the Hornby nest. She probably perches there often

Here are the precious chicks sleeping.

7:23 The lets are still alone on the nest. Last night mom came in about now for the night. The lets are trying to be the one covered by the other.



Good night eagle family. Thanks for all who posted here today. Hopefully when mom returns she or dad will have a fish for the early morning.

7:50 pm central time
Very pretty - and I'm sure Mom knows when to arrive - but I do worry a bit.




7:54 pm
Light has changed - looks better now.




8:10 pm
Cam has zoomed in. I can see the darker down coming in, making them look a bit scruffy.

8:23 pm central time
Adult on the nest - seeing a spot on the head (I think), so this is probably Dad. Chicks are lined up, but it doesn't look as if he brought food. He's looking around as if he'd like someone to come help.



I did notice that they still have nice full crops - but are still hopeful!
