6:40 pm They are still alone. One of them is preening. The other one resting.

At least they are both away from the edge now.

Hi Rita! I caught some cute s’caps from a little earlier.
6:24 pm - the two eaglets getting very close. I think the older one, Dusk, is on the bottom, with Dawn, the younger one on top.

6:29 pm - looks like Dawn picking up some nesting material and moving it to their other side.

I will hazard a guess. I think it's Dawn that's been picking at that partial wing.
(Where's that hiding from the fallout emoji? 😉 )

The one on the right here is the one I was calling Dawn, the youngest, earlier but now I’m not so sure.

Oh Bill you really do make me chuckle. In this lighting right now I'm not even going to make a good guess as to who is who. All I know is that Dawn and Dusk are both adorable. Still have some food in the crops.

Sue, in those pics I would also guess that Dawn is on the right.
The one on the left has more dark around the eyes. JMO

Bill, so glad you are seeing the same thing I am. It’s so hard to tell at this age and with the sun setting. Plus I’m viewing on my phone so much too small a screen.
