I watched from 8:00am to 9:45am. The eaglets stayed alone in the nest until around 8:40 when one of the parents flew in with a small bird and began to feed it to the chicks. The parent spent about 5 or 10 mins in the nest then flew over to a power pole (something I've never seen them do.) It appears to have some brown spots at the tip of its tail thus perhaps it's the male. The chicks ate a little more on their own then settled into the nest.
Below are photos of the two being fed, the parent on the power pole and a nice close-up of one of the chicks. MF
