On Tuesday, May 6, two of the three eggs had hatched. They are hard to see, but look for tiny pinkish bobbles! (You'll have to trust me.)
The one chick stretched up in front of the female. It's the dark shadow in front of her. By Saturday, the third egg had hatched but camera was down. On Monday, May 12, the nest was observed for long periods without an adult. We don't know if the storms disturbed the female and if the chicks have survived. We saw the male standing at the side of the nest but he never sat on the chicks.
The only good view of the eagle nest on May 12 is disappointing due to leaves. From another spot with binoculars, the top of the nest can be spotted when the wind blows branches away. Some definite flapping was seen from an ALL BROWN bird! At least one eaglet!
