Wednesday PM

Couple of observations:

You've probably noticed all three eaglets working their wings in the wind the past few days, although we think it will be another month before they're ready to fly. let's hope they don't get to "cocky" and find themselves blown out of the nest!

Also, the adults are now leaving the eaglets alone for parts of the day. There has been constant supervision until the past day or so, and that has been very importnant due to the coller temps and rain we've been having.

Fresh weekend thread.

Was just watching some nest enhancements being done, with the help of the oldest eaglet. Good to see tht most of their feathers have come in, there's talk of more rain next week.

Rain


It is amazing watching the diligence of our adult eagles in protecting their youngsters from the rain. The youngest eaglet is still especially vulnerable as it has the fewest feathers grown in to help protect it from the rain.
Wow, lots of rain. No internet at my house.

Looks like rain today. The past week the eaglets have really started to fill in their feathers, and they have provided us with some precarious moments as they have perched at the edge of the nest. Remember they can't fly for some time yet...

Had some excitement last night at home. We had a house fire. Thanks to the Philomont and Middleburg Vol. Fire Departments, our 200 year old house was saved, with only some moderate damage. If we can get the water back on we can stay at the house.

My blogging will be sparce for a few days because of this.

There have been some great moments on the live feed today as the adult's feeding positions have given us some great closeups of the three youngsters. The bounty of food is really making a difference in their growth, which is rapid.

These young eaglets are really starting to get around the nest and are beginning to assert a little independence.

They were alone in the nest about an hour ago. Be assured, an adult was perched ten feet above them.

Eaglet Video w/ audio Test



This video was done late last week. The picture isn't the greatest, but you can hear the eaglets. The sounds we heard yesterday were different as they are growing quickly.

Another rainy day here in WV. The female eagle took the brunt of the rain and tented for several hours. When finally relieved by the male, who also brought in a fresh fish from the river, she was completely soaked.

At the same time on the closed circuit feed, we noticed that there was a change in vocalizations from the eaglets, I would guess from the oldest one. It has gone to more of a whistle than a peep. The male now has umbrella duty as the day wraps up.

We are very hopeful thus far that all three young eaglets are doing well, but only time will tell, and some luck!

It's been a raw day today with a brisk wind. Warm temps expected tomorrow. We got a chance to view two feedings today, and it's good to see the littlest eaglet being taken care of by these diligent parents.

Update:

Here's a minute by minute for the first eaglet sent to me this AM by Dana:

Jim, Nilla, Jill and AJ saw cracking in one of the eggs around 12:something.
2:27 Nilla said I see only 2 eggs.
2:27 Jill says I see a bobble head.
2:39 Nilla says is she picking egg shell out.
Dion on with them been watching for years.
2:39 AJ says think one chick hatched i saw it move she covered it.
2:39 Jill says Definitely only half
shell hard to see but she is moving something that blends in with the nest.
2:40 Dion says I see a chick!!!!!!
I want to thank our early morning watch group for these special comments.


We could hear the little eaglet chirping a few minutes ago.
