After that was posted previously my wife and I sat staring at that for the longest time. Thanks for the update, I'm amazed how fast the chicks are growing --

Walt also has other peep cams around..he is into this type of thing : )
The 9th hole on my golf course has a Hawk nest in one of the trees that's got to be at least 6 feet in diameter.....so cool to see them fly in/out of it and come down to snag a gopher.I'm just amazed that a bird can build a nest that big
I was in soldatna Alaska fishing the Kenai river back in 95 . There were a lot of bald eagles nest up and down the river. Coolest thing I got to see was an eagle fly down and catch a salmon with his claws and take off. It was awesome . That bird was huge.
They eat a lot of fish that I’ve seen, or at least what they’re feeding the young that I have seen.check out 2:42, on this link when Mom and Dad show up with breakfast. damn cool.

I saw the male swoop in a couple weeks ago with something brown and hairy but not sure what it was. Looked like he molested it a bit before he brought it home.
This mornings breakfast was another bird, kind of freaks you out watching her rip the feathers off and pulling out the red meat.They eat a lot of fish that I’ve seen, or at least what they’re feeding the young that I have seen.

On occasion while I'm chopping veggies and riling up some vitals for diner I'll stream it on the smart tv for background while I shift into Emiril mode.This mornings breakfast was another bird, kind of freaks you out watching her rip the feathers off and pulling out the red meat.
Oh crap, I think you're right. Scanning back that one hasn't moved in quite some time. I noticed last evening only one was eating, I just thought the other was sleepingLooks like one of them dead now?
One of the little ones died overnight probably of Hypothermia. It's still in the nest.
Someone came up and took the dead one, plus he tagged the other, it happened and 14:00:00 guess he isn't afraid of heights
Went back and watched it...that old man was pretty fearless. You could see the parents doing flybys and at time even see there shadows go by like they were pretty damn close to him.

Wow, that would not be me.
Read that they start hopping straight up 2-3 feet with wings flapping a few days prior to their first actual flight. It was also stated that about 50% of all first flights end on the ground. Wonder if they return and continue to feed from the nest?
