I really like the fact that both parents are being attentive to their family. Although, it can probably be said that not all pairs have the same success with food supplies and weather conditions.

The adults take turns sitting on the nest and it's great to see the changing of the guard, as I call it. I've seen both adults feed the babies and there is a steady supply of food.

I have noticed that when they are feeding as they are full (satisfied) they drift off to sleep one by one and the Mama (Papa) will continue to feed.

One tucked his head back around into it's feathers. The other was also sitting (attempting to get some shut-eye). One of the eaglets was exposed for a while. I wondered if it would make it.

I have noticed that one adult is feeding the oldest/largest chick only, with a rare scrap going to the smaller one. I also witnessed the "tossing" of the chick to the side.

As the chick grabbed onto the food from the eagle's beak, the eagle quickly turned his head to the left and tossed the chick onto the outer edge at the 3:00 position.
