We have the first eaglet at Norfolk this afternoon!
Approx time 1:10 pm Things will be getting interesting now! . Seems like they have been incubating for a LONG time.

We have 2 eaglets now hatched today!
The camera angles are good and they are quite cute. The older one seems to be pecking at the new arrival too.

This morning the 3 eaglets are getting fed clearly, and the camera has zoomed in to show details we've never seen before! So close they fill the screen, and you can even see the nostrils on their beaks! How they swallow, etc. Amazing!
Fabulous pics today! Sun is shining, and the parent is not blocking the view!

The views now are just the best..... it is wonderful seeing these parents take care of the small eaglets. They are really growing quickly... a testament to the care and food brought for them!

Growing so quickly. This morning the 3 eaglets are lined up so politely getting a feeding right now. Sunny nice weather, and fascinating to watch!

Hi MrsD. I had been a regular there for awhile - hooosier - then was away for a couple weeks and wow three "bobbleheads"! Cute as can be.
Thanks for the updates. |

Eaglets are scheduled to be banded next Wednesday, March 31 at 9:00 a.m. EDT. Follow the events in person at Norfolk Botanical Garden, or online on Eagle Cam.

Thanks, Alffe!
Seems earlier to me this year? Usually the eaglets have their gray down, and are larger when this is done. They still seem small to me now. What do you think?

I thought the same thing Mrs.D but these folks are the professionals...maybe it's easier and less tramatic for the parents to do it when they are smaller.

The second eaglet was too small for the band. I watched when they put them all back in the nest, and a little while later, one of the eaglets jumped up and flapped his wings... weird. Next thing I knew.... I was multitasking with my gardening, here, and there, they called Nate the tree climber to come back and REMOVE the bands from the nest which had come off the eaglet! I guess they thought they might eat them! The smallest eaglet wasn't even banded. Soooooo. next month they will do it all again. Two of them to be banded and the largest one to get the mobile transmitter. They were just too young and too small for this process. Here is a link to show the close up photos of the banding: . Get aload of those spectators behind the barricades!
