Some facts I've learned from watching the website.

Apparently the nest is the size of a queen-size bed! Eagles mate for life. But in this case the mother eagle is around 12 and was previously mated to an eagle who was killed by an airplane. She has had several broods of eglets with her new mate. He seems to be doing a good job bringing her food and new straw for the nest ... I guess she'll keep him around.

Back to the website. So cute.
