Apparently this mom has already mothered 13 eaglets successfully and she knows what she is doing.
And Redwitch is right, we should all take lessons from the eagles. Both parents are very devoted, and all eaglets are doing fine.
I think this site is the BEST! I can't start my day without checking on the eagles.  |
All three look quite healthy. It's fun to watch them develop. Their claw feet are getting definition, as are their beaks. Their dark feathers are coming in. I love to peek in every day and see their progress.
This morning I caught one of the eaglets giving big yawn, right into the camera. It opened it's mouth so wide you could practically see it's tonsils. (Do eagles have tonsils?)
I love the site. I'm in awe. Thanks again, Bare, for this treasure.
