SUCCESS! I managed to edit out five photos from the camcorder showing the parents feeding all four chicks. I'll just start showing them here in sequence. The father on the left is in charge of feeding one. The mother on the right is feeding the other three. Here's the first of the pictures to show all four bald eagle babies.Click on image to download

May 10, 2011, Snapped several photos this morning off all four babies in the sunshine. The three bigger ones are continually grooming their feathers. Baby 4 is not. But that will change soon. He's the tiniest. More pictures later of this remarkable brood of four.

One photo from this morning showing the three older chicks on the right. They are busy grooming. Their heads bob up and down constantly. Baby 4 is on the left. He hasn't quite got the scratching urge like the bigger three.Click on image to download

Dusk. By the time sunset arrived, Baby 1 is starting to look very dark. There's still gray splotches on him, but he's growing and changing. The others are close behind. The parents never stay in the nest except to bring food. Just way too crowded with all four. What a rare opportunity to watch all four grow.
