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 7 !:08pm--G4 and 5 are trying to nap but G3 is restless. Maybe its huge crop is preventing it finding a comfy position.

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.
Screen Shot 2023-04-19 at 12.08.27 PM.jpg
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).

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.

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. :)

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.
Screen Shot 2023-05-06 at 5.27.27 PM.jpg
The eaglets are now 53, 50, 48 days old. I saw one self-feeding this afternoon but couldn't get a scap in time.
