Donna,
You are more than welcome. I do not know the nest near as well as you so you will have to read between the lines and connect the dots. I'll probably repeat things you have already said (I think I've got a system going - lol). Also, it's very difficult for me to distinguish KC from Banner now.
Recap
7:36 am, KC? is up.
8:15, E’lets still alone; both in nest bowl.
8:31, KC? very active now; B? still trying to rest but sib disturbs him.
8:33, Saw a fly-by in upper left corner.
8:34, Dad lands on nest without food; is not feeding ‘lets.
8:43, Dad is trying hard to find nestovers to feed ‘lets.
8:44, Dad calling-out.
8:48, ‘lets trying to find nestovers for themselves.
Dad had just landed on the nest here.

ADD: As soon as I posted this, the 'lets were alone again. They are resting and growing feathers.

9:35 am,
Dad's back on the nest; he's moving sticks to keep busy. He even offers the 'lets a stick. Dad's looking all around for Mom and showing attention to the 'lets. Looks like Dad tried to feed something to both KC and Banner but don't think they took it.
9:46,
Not at all sure if the 'lets are eating but Dad is working like he's preparing prey.

10:02,
No; Dad is in the same place looking like he is ripping prey but the 'lets are away from him, looking at him, but not eating.

The not-so-little wanderers are sprawled at opposite sides of the nest, dozing in the sun.
And I'm wondering if the spec I see in one of the trees in the distance is an adult, keeping a watchful eye.
2:25 pm
They're up for a stretch - and the one at the near side of the nest is giving us a nice look at his big crop and big beak! I'm guessing it's KC - but only because he/she seems so large all of a sudden!

There has been an adult on the nest most of the time since 3:30
Good 10 min feeding from 6:34 to 6:47.
6:57 and 7:01 eagle at 6 and eaglets snoozing.
One eaglet was at 3 when the feeding started and it took 1 min to move to 11 for food.....the parent fed the eaglets pretty equally and they were eager enough to stretch out to get the food.
I'll be around in the early morning hrs but gone mid morning to early afternoon....I am off to watch grandkids and hold the baby again.

April 15, 2010 low 40's overnight and mid to high 60's through the day.
5:49 eagle on the nest.
5:51 eagle off the nest until 7:13. Most likely perched nearby.
7:13- 7:23 eagle at 3. then moves to 12. I think it flew off and the other came in at 9 with hay. I did not see a feeding. KC and Banner stayed center nest but watched parent on the nest closely. Then the adults were off the nest.
I will check to see a feeding......Have a wonderful day eagle watchers

As near as I can tell the first feeding was at 11:03 and it lasted more than 30 min. Then the eaglets were fed again for about that amount of time at 1:11. The eaglets have been alone on the nest quite a bit again today. They have been moving about the nest and snoozing for long stretches. But they sure are growing.
An eagle has been feeding or on the nest for long stretches from 11 to 2. at 2:14 the eaglets were snoozing at 11/12 and the parent had just flown off from 3.
It is a warm sunny day. One still this morning showed one of the eaglets looking at cam and you could see its big feet. so cute.....
