2:27pm....Little eaglet has a PS. Sure is a size difference between these two. Crops are flat so a meal soon would fix that.

1509 - Adult in with a fish I think. Just a tiny one. The little one was up first to receive some bites.

Cannot tell which adult with their back to me and head down. I cannot stay to watch.

ADDED: Judging by the vocals off the nest, I would say that this is Rey in the Nest with the chicks.

Poor babes are hungry and need more than a tiny minnow, Dad!

3:09 pm in rollback, picking up where CC mentioned Rey bringing in a small fish. This is so cute. The smaller eaglet grabbed the fish but of course dropped it. Rey began feeding the smaller eaglet.

3:11 pm in rollback, Rey offered a bite to the larger eaglet and the smaller eaglet created a bit of a tussle. Then Rey moved to other leftovers to eat some food.

3:19 pm in rollback, Rey has been eating but offered a couple of bites to the larger eaglet. The smaller eaglet is sleeping as the larger eaglet had moved closer to Rey. Rey vocalizes.

3:31 pm in rollback, Rey continued to eat and I didn't see him give any bites to the eaglets. Could have though and I could have missed it. Both have moved closer to him as he finished his meal. The eaglets are napping.

3:31 pm in rollback, Rey flies. And after about 18 minutes, an adult is in the nest with a small food. I think it is Brit but not sure.

3:57 pm in in rollback, again I am not sure if this is Brit or Rey. Please correct if I am wrong. They are feeding their eaglets. Both are getting food.

I am sorry. I have to run and can't finish the feeding.

At 4:07pm he returned with something in his talons. I thought it was grassy material but he proceeded to offer food to the lets so it must have been some kind of prey. Couldn't make out what it was.
