Who, The Three Eaglets Have Feathers Already!

Edited on Tue May-10-11 04:56 PM by KittyWampus

I wonder when they'll start fledging?

It's amazing all three survived so far.

1. 10-13 weeks. The first one hatched on 4/2, so it'll be a few more weeks.

2. The notes below the cam pic say this pair has twice previously

successfully raised three young -- so they seem to know what they're doing.

3. The parents are great and provide lots of food. I've seen them breaking up pecking and they're

smart enough to feed the older ones first. The babies still cuddle with each other too. :)

If you haven't guessed, I think they all rock!

4. Just saw a parent land with a fish

Both parents are in the nest now. The one who landed is panting (it's hot in Iowa), and just beginning to tear apart the fish.

Time to feed the youngun's.
