6:09 pm the feeding has been going on for about 10 minutes. Chick #1 received more bites but both were fed, even Ma.

6:13 pm with the feeding finished, the eaglets settle in. Chick #2 has a PS and Ma is moving sticks on the railing. Bot eaglets have nice crops.

6:19 pm now I have lost track of which eaglet is which but one of them is helping Ma with the stick. And sitting really tall next to Ma. Both are now sleeping. Edit: looks like it is chick #1 sitting tall.

6:22 pm both of the tower eagles are home, one on the spike and other in the nest. I think I see the two little eaglets in the nest but not sure. Trooper at the evergreen.

6:36 pm chick #2 is wanting to cuddle next to Ma as chick #1 is sleeping next to the rail. Probably cooler there.

6:50 am Ma is up and looking over to the left field. But I didn't see Trooper there. Only saw what looks like a hawk at the first tower.

6:54 am can see chick #2 sleeping. Looks like there is a piece of trash stuck in his/her beak. All we can see of chick #1 is his/her little round bottom. Both look to be in a food coma.

7:04 pm logging off both cams. Hope everyone has a wonderful night. Stay safe, Ma, Trooper and the eaglets. Good day with good meals.

With the food behind her (out of view in these scaps) Ma sees if the eaglets are interested in eating more... she has to walk all the way over to see... even then the interest doesn't seem great.
