3/29 --G4 moves to put its head under the adult where there is more shade. G3 is on the left. The adult is trying shoo the swarming flies away.
The adult moves to cast a longer shadow.

1:50--G5 is now awake and G3 has moved away from the shade.
Uh-oh a rumble between 3 and 4. G4 goes submissive.
G5 with beak bling gets in the adult's shade

March 31--Mama Rosa's babies are too large now to get under her, but that doesn't stop them from trying. It's not cold there. Guess they just want to snuggle.

April 3 11:18 am--Eaglets are growing fast. G3 is 20 days old / G4 is 17 days old / G5 is 15 days old. I think G3 and G4 have pin feathers coming in. They are preening a lot with G3 seeming to be the itchiest.

April 5 4:07pm--Three very well fed eaglets are getting a great dinner from mom.
Re: Dulles Greenway VA - 2022-23 - Bald Eagle Cam

April 10, 1:53pm--dad must have brought in this huge fish.Fishing is good in the wetlands. I can't say with any certainty which parent this is. I'm still trying to figure out the ID markings on the parents.

April 19--The eaglets have grown so much! DG3=36 days / DG4=33 days / DG5=31 days.
DG5 has been picking at the green packaging (red arrow) like he is practicing self feeding. I don't know if anything has been torn off, but DG5 was giving some good yanks. For at least 4 days a plastic bag has been in the nest. Thankfully it is getting covered in nesting material (blue arrow).
Re: Dulles Greenway VA - 2022-23 - Bald Eagle Cam
April 21--Tne nest rails look almost non-existent. Or maybe the large size of 3 eaglets make it seem so. When they're on the edge and jockeying for position, I worry. And another piece of trash has made its way to the nest.
Re: Dulles Greenway VA - 2022-23 - Bald Eagle Cam
April 21 2:25pm--Adult brings a large fish. I think this is DG5 aho has figured out to go under and grab. Must have gotten tired of the bonks.
So close to the edge

Three well-fed eaglets

Standing tall! I am just guessing, judging by the amount of black feathers, that DG3 is on the left and DG4 on the right. DG5 us napping behind the tree trunk.

May 6--Not the greatest scap, but at least one is not hiding behind the tree limb.
The eaglets are now 53, 50, 48 days old. I saw one self-feeding this afternoon but couldn't get a scap in time.
