Two out of Three

It’s been ten days or so since the first two eagle chicks have hatched. They have grown and become much more active.

The two eagle chicks are much more active than when they hatched ten days ago. They have moved away from the central part of the nest.

The third egg, though, is probably not going to hatch. Today, the mother eagle stopped brooding the egg entirely.

Like babies everywhere, after eating, it’s nap time.

Even if the last egg did hatch, the chicks get fed on the basis of who has their mouth open the biggest. The two chicks in the nest now would out compete the late comer, and it would starve.

  1. Sorry about the dud. Twins are good though. Let’s hope they grow up to thrive. 🦅
