More Nice Weather 3/31

Another nice warm day, and that really brings out the activity. The oldest eaglet continues to grow like a weed, and even the youngest is starting to get bigger, to the point where we got a great look at its face this morning on our closed circuit view.

Also looks like there are extra sticks added to build up the edge of the nest to keep the eaglets from accidentally falling out, especially the oldest who is moving around the nest a fair amount.

Karen Lindsey, our land manager notes that it seems that the male adult is taking extra care to make sure the middle and youngest eaglet are getting fed, which is a good sign that we might beat that 50 % mortality rate. Still have a ways to go though, so we'll keep our fingers crossed.

Thanks to those who are sending there own screen shots to us. If you want to send one, send it to nctc_eaglecam@fws.gov

Also, the link to the blog is now up on the eaglecam website, so welcome to those who have linked over from the eaglecam.

We'll post a picture later.

I sure hope eaglette #3 is okay. I was concerned as well a I was checking in this AM. The little guy doesn't seem to active today at all. I am anxious to see him get bigger.

I was worried about #3 also. #3 didn't seem to move for the longest time. Later in the day I saw #3 in a different spot. I'm glad you posted a link to the blog so I could read that he was doing okay.

Thanks for the cam!
