Observations
in the Eagle Nests
Viewing Pictures from the Nestcam
- On 4/20
the chicks were a lot smaller than on 4/26.
- The chicks
are covered with downy feathers.
- Chicks
are huddles together. They are touching in as many places as possible.
- Chicks
are in the center of the nest.
- The center
of the nest has the least course stick material.
- Both
chicks heads are up when the parent arrives.
- One chick-
probably the older one has moved so it is facing the adult (and the
food they brought).
- Both
chicks moved over to the edge of the nest closer to the parent.
- It looks
like the chicks use their wings to move across the nest. You can see
parts of the wings- shoulder, elbow and arm.
- One chick
looks bigger and darker than the other.
