Food in the nest is looking kinda scarce. Just an small old fish head. The babies need a new big fat fish!

EDIT - Looks like a fresh rodent is in the nest.

Fluffy babies just watching mother rearrange the nest. She's been standing on the side for awhile now, giving a great look at the babies.

The parents seem to keep a good supply of food in the nest.

Eaglets are looking very cute and fluffy today. It's funny how they seem to rearrange the nest like the parents do.

Who has been watching this daily? I just tuned in since the eggs cracked. One baby is laying on his side with the wing out. The other sitting up looking regal. Are both okay?

I've been watching the National Arboretum babies, who have grown a lot! See this link. Are you talking about another pair of eagles?

EDIT: I see what you mean. I think both are OK. Remember, one is a few days older than the other. Their wings are starting to get in the way and they are kinda floundering around. They were both sitting up looking around a minute ago. Today's chat (on the side of the screen) doesn't indicate any issues.

Them's the ones. They look okay now, Mom or Dad is sitting there. Guess I caught one at a bad moment.

Wasn't in the backyard, but saw a couple red crowned kinglets this past weekend while walking....

If they hadn't moved, would never have seen them... pretty small.
