It has been a very wet morning here. Parent spent most of the morning on the nest with the eaglets and in the harder rain mid morning sheltered them with its wings....I think it was Pa but it was hard to tell......

It is still cloudy at the nest but here to the south about 40 miles it is sunny and blue sky. Hopefully they will get some sun too in a bit.....it would warm them up and dry off the nest a bit.....





Honest Pa was there sheltering them earlier when it was raining harder.....they look pretty bedraggled.....

Thanks for all your pictures and reports, Donna - does look like a rather miserable day at the nest. It is nice to see the adults doing their best to shelter the no-longer-little ones - not an easy task when they're this big, especially if it was Dad who was doing it.

They do look in fine shape, if a little damp around the edges.

I am to report that it is now sunny at the nest.

Hi Judy They are getting big aren't they.....

I just had a look at my master chart - KC is already 4 weeks old!

I guess it's not surprising that they are getting so big.

Just took a quick peek, and it's nice to see them hanging out in the sun. I'm seeing more of their feathers starting to come in through the second coat of down - and their beaks are getting so big!

2:29 a feeding is in progress and both eaglets are eating.
3:23 The parent is settled next to the cuddled eaglets in the center of the nest.
4:03 It is raining harder and the parent keeps watch next to the eaglets.

5:02 Parent returns and feeds KC and Banner as they are settled in the bedding in the nest bowl.
5:40 Feeding ends

Parent continues to settle near KC and Banner.

April 23, 2010 Raining high 30"s to low 50's. This weather will continue through late Saturday morning.

5:53 Ma is on the nest with the eaglets. They are cuddled in the nest bowl with Ma next to them.
6:37 She flies off and returns right away.
6:39 to 6:57 all cuddled in the nest.
6:57 All up at 11 to feed but not much there
6:59 to 7:20 all are settled near each other in the nest.

7:23 - 7:45 eagle feeding KC and Banner at 9. Both are hungry as you can see their eagerness in this pic.
I am off most of the day but wanted to post this feeding.

this picutre will tell you all that has happened at the nest since the early feeding. It is raining and about 50 degrees. Ma has KC and Banner as close as she can get them.


Outside of a brief fly in by Pa she has been like this all morning.
