I just watched both parents feed the chick!

The Dad handed over pieces of fish to the Mom and she gave it to the
chick! A real family endeavor!

How different from the Blackwater chicks, whose father ignored them and the mother for many days, and forced her off the nest to get her own food.
Some of the people working on that cam thought the chicks would die of exposure!

This Dad eagle however, really built up that nest after the early problems with intruders. The walls are so high you can only see the top the chick's head!
The camera angles are not as nice as last year's nest. But at least we have one chick, now, after all that drama!

As the chick grows, its crop get bigger, so feedings are larger and stored in the crop. So it is less easy to catch a feeding on the video.

These very early days with this new chick there will be frequent feedings, so viewers here may be lucky and get watch some live.

Here is Ann's video on photobucket of the Mom and Dad feeding the chick this morning...
