I just spent three days without a computer, driving from The Bubble to Canada. When I arrived and logged on to the Eagle Cam, I swear the eaglets had doubled in size! I actually thought the large one was the mother eagle for a minute because it was flapping it's wings.

Apparently the eaglets will practice flying in the nest, and will actually be flying by the end of May. However they continue to return to the nest for food. It should be fun to watch as they start their first expeditions.
