"One of our trees is famous right now --- the tree that is housing the newest family in Decorah, the eagles," she said, referring to a nest, 80 feet up a tree near the Decorah Fish Hatchery where three bald eagles have hatched.

It's back up! Gotta say I'm a little concerned for the second baby - it doesn't seem anywhere near the level of the first one who almost looks like he wants to fly already and who seems to get more food as the littler one doesn't hold its head up as much.

Feeding time!

 

[peeples]

really really worried about #2

 

[Blue_Dolphin308]

Yeah I am beginning to worry about him also!

 

[peeples]

ack #1 got kicked out of the nes ton accident!!!

 

[Blue_Dolphin308]

How did she get kicked out?

Feeding time, The second chick didn't even raise it's head. Now 1st chick managed to end up on the edge of the nest again. Mom is trying to get him/her back in the hollow under her.

Peeples, thanks for the post! I just checked the cam and saw he was out of the nest and i came here to see what happened!! I am getting so attached to these birds that I don't think I can watch when stuff like this happens. I'm sick to my stomach worrying about him. Why doesn't mama or dad help???

 

[Hopeful One]

Hehehehe, Sassy Pants is chewing on a stick.

MOM! HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Blue_Dolphin308]

Looks like #1 is trying to feed itself!

 

[Blue_Dolphin308]

Chewing on the foot of the animal!
