Decorah Eagles

that's a relief Doogs. Thanks for checking in on them.

That must have been a hairy moment Doogs glad they were all there. I have just had a look and all three are being fed and they are sqwaking like mad, not sure if it is dad feeding at the moment, the eyes appear darker but it is tough to see as they are a little way off but the family appear fine.

Doogs Glad they are all OK. Great pic LW, thanks for checking on our little ones Guys
WS

It was great watching Dad feeding the little ones tonight. Mrs S said it's amazing how gentle Birds of this size can be when feeding them

All three got fed in turn


WS

Dads on the nest at the moment and all three eaglets are huddled together. Dad is taking the fur/feathers off of something so it's obviously tea time for the little ones.
As you say, it's great they are all being fed, at least we know they all stand a great vhance of surviving.




Heads up and time for tea

Now it's time for a sleep

Ok think this is mum on the nest today, it's incredibly windy there and the noise is deafening but you can see the chicks behind mum and when the wind stops for a second and stops ruffling her feathers, you can just see the eyes and they are paler round the edge, so I think it's mum.
Very windy in this pic and mums feathers are all ruffled

You can just make out the eye in this one

One chick is now lying down being sheltered by mum whilst the other one keeps braving the wind

it really is very windy there so I hope the chicks stay safe.

It does look windy on those pics LW, but it seems to have dropped quite a bit now, and all three are safe, and sound. Not sure if it's Mum or Dad on your pics, but Mums on the nest now, still feeding them




WS

Back to being windy again, but the chicks look OK


WS

Windy, and cold again for our Eaglets,their down is starting to change from natal down, and going darker to thermal down, which will allow them to thermoregulate which they can do at 21 Days old. D12 is now 2 weeks old, D13 13 Days, and D14 10 Days old. It's Mum on the nest at the moment


WS

Certainly look a better day. Nice to see the little ones enjoying themselves.
Thanks for checking Doogs
WS

All 3 have eaten so much through the day, they are all flaked out

WS

I see what you mean Doogs when you look at them all flat out, it's a worry till they move, but they are all still OK


WS

Look how much these Guys have grown, although D15, the last one to hatch is half the size of the other two, it's still healthy, and in good shape. They are all flat out again digesting food




WS

That's great news, thanks for the updates WS

Lai

They seem to be growing every couple of days. D14 is catching up on the other two, and is now being more assertive in getting its share of food

Went for the Pop Out screen on these shots, it's sort of between full screen and the normal size. just a shame the rain drops on the lens spoil it a bit

Mum came in on the right to take over babysitting duties from Dad


WS

WS - they grow so quickly, but lovely to see they are all doing so well.

Thanks for keeping us up to date.

Lai Pai

WS - great to see the littlest one is getting bigger and stronger

They all look rather wet with the in those pictures, poor things

I know the pic does'nt look good, but all 3 are fine, and their feathers ar starting to come through
