Has anyone seen if they have posted the gender of the eaglets? I scrolled throught the info on the side and didn't spot it. As one is noticably larger, I am wondering if that one is male and the other two female.
I think the eaglets were too young to determine gender when they were banded.

Adult male eagles are smaller than females. I was thinking the puny one is a male, but perhaps it was just the last one to be hatched so it may be a bit behind in growth.

Following is a great suggestion from Jerseyboy2. Probably everyone else in the world except me already knows this ... but I had no idea you could enlarge stuff this way! Very helpful.

"KathieI - I have enlarged the image in IE by pressing the "Ctrl" key and then the "+" key. This will enlarge your screen by 10% each time. You can reduce it by pressing the "-" key after the "ctrl" key. I found that the image is clearer than using the full screen key. Try it, I hope it helps."
