After a slightly hot day, a nice evening breeze, well, more like wind, came up. One parent, I can't tell which, is leisurely pulling off pieces of food for the kids. They aren't particulary starving at the moment. The parent just hangs the piece of food out there and let's whoever grab it. It's not as easy to make out all four chicks, but they are all there. This is about three minutes of video.

And then after the evening snack, this parent decides to set in the nest with the kids, crowded as it is. One baby does a little wing stretching. A couple are playing. The breeze feels wonderful.

Hi Sue,

Thank you for the two new videos this evening; they are wonderful to see. Nice that there is still room on the nest for Mom (?). All 4 eaglets look so healthy and strong. love

It's very, very windy today. Evidently a branch blew into underneath one baby's wing. It took him about a minute to dislodge it this morning.

Still unbelievable that there's four chicks. Here's a minute of video showing small to large. At least you can catch a clear but momentary shot when they're bobbing up and down.

Talk about clumsy. About 30 seconds of wing exercises with a bit of a funny surprise at the end.
