May 4


Lunchtime shot. I could see the biggest eaglet standing on the side of the nest as I drove in this morning. These critters are growing fast.

Steve, these critters really are growing fast. Unbelievable. Is the live feed messed up? Can't get into it?

More problems. They're working on it...

Thanks Steve. Modern technology is certainly a process, not an event. Not a perfect world we live in. Patiently waiting . . .

Hi Steve: Just how large are our eaglets? Are they as large as the one being held in the pic I sent you by email from the Blackwater article? It's so hard to tell their size from the Cam & Video.

Nancy, You'll have to let us know what you see. I saw the nest right after #3 hatched, and I could see an adult perched right above the nest, keeping an eye on things. I'd like to get back down there again.

I am amazed at how quick the feedings go now, looks like they are eating bigger and bigger pieces. They seem to wolf it down so quick....definitely like a bunch of teenagers!

The three eaglets are still not ready to fly. If one does fall or get pushed out it will be a sad day. Remember that 50% mortality rate. Our birds have beat it thus far and that's a pretty amazing feat.

I need to get some info for you regarding the range of the young eagles once they leave the nest. Try to do that tomorrow.

thanks for all of the continued support and comments.

We visited the NCTC a few weeks ago and the only thing I watched on the TV was the cam.
Now back in Colorado Springs it is fabulous to be able to follow their growth and development.
thank you so much,

Here's more info on the range of immature birds. They spend up to four years out and about, sometimes wandering great distances, say california to Alaska.
