April 8: Both eaglets doing well

I observed the nest for about 1 hour from 8:15 AM. At first only saw female roosting to right of nest. Then heard eaglets calling, and at about 9:00 AM finally saw two eaglets.

Male eaglet on left, female on right, judging by size and depth of gape. Also more assertive behavior of female and acquiescence of male.

Female watching over the nest. Male eaglet better seen than larger female to the right in nest:



The two eaglets were difficult to see and photograph:
