APR 2: One or two eaglets?

Administrator

This post was updated on .

Arrived at nest at 8:45 AM and watched an hour. For almost the entire time Pride roosted in the melalaeuca snag to the west of nest:

Jewel was roosting just to the right of the nest until the eaglet began begging. These appear to be two different eaglets:

Jewel fed the eaglet and also appeared to be feeding another over to the left side of the nest, but I never saw two at the same time. This one appears to be older-- look at size of eyes in proportion to its head and it also has less natal down:
:

I think this was simply one eaglet's wing but it did look like a second eaglet:
