@ Jim-- I have not yet tried out the video. Today I messed up the settings and most of my photos were under-exposed. I thought I was adjusting the aperture, and instead had reduced the exposure compensation by 5 stops-- most of my photos came out nearly black! (The results of my photo "safari" this morning in the wetlands southeast of the eagle nest tree may be viewed here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/rosyfinch/ )

On Feb 9 of last year, the first record of a third chick was obtained by a video recording, when they were 18 days old. As you surmised, they were visible through spaces in the nest structure. In fact, it was the first time ANY of the eaglets were observed. It was not until the 14th that other observers were able to see the chicks with binoculars.
