Hopefully they will hatch soon. I read that the incubation period is 12-16 days, which it has been 16 days now since I saw the first egg. Hopefully I can get a pic before you leave.

I learned this on the Eagle site...
Some birds stay off the nest when multiple eggs are there, so that they all hatch at the same time. So you might see a bit longer than 16 days, but not by much. That slows the first couple of eggs down a bit. The sparrows that I did, had one "runt", and he didn't survive when I let them go. We found him the next day, he was just too small and weak. I even gave him extra, but it didn't help. So you may see that in your nestlings growth too. Be prepared!
