They've been leaving them unattended for longer and longer periods of time now. They're big enough that they just crawl out from under the adults now. LOL. It's funny to watch.

Watched them spruce up the nest for a while yesterday.
At what point are they stopped being called chicks and called eaglets? Anyone know?
They're getting so big now. Apparently, the have been named BC and LC, for big chick and little chick. LOL.

I'm not an expert, but I think fledglings are considered eaglets.

You’re both right. They ARE called eaglets.
Eaglet: A young eagle from days after hatching (hatchling) up to the period before the first flight (fledgling).

Just watching, (Thursday evening) and it looks like snow is coming in. The chicks take up just about the entire nest now.
Is it weird that I'm legitimately worried about these chicks not being covered?
Where are mom and dad???!!! LOL.

I just read the chicks have officially been named Gizmo and Sunny. Don't know which is which, though.

Here's a sort of 'highlight reel' the people running the site have put together.

For those of you who haven't checked in for a while, look at how big!!
Pinfeathers coming in, and a pretty impressive wing span @ 1:09

For those of you who are interested, here's 10 minutes from today.
Sunny stands up at around 1:20 or so, if you want to get an idea just how big they're getting.
Their beaks are starting to turn yellow, too.

Well, it's been a month since I last posted anything.
Gizmo and Sunny are getting ready to start their own lives any day now.
I watch them for at least a little while, every day. They're flapping and hovering.
the other day, there were really strong winds, and one of them actually flapped into the air and was 'flying' in place.
It's hard to believe these were two little balls of gray fuzz two months ago. Now, every time one of them starts flapping, I think "This is it, there they go" LOL.
Here's the latest video. All you really need to see are the first two minutes.

Curious, how do people get the camera up there in the nest? And what about battery life?

I think they're getting ready to go. This video footage is from yesterday. Their parents haven't been feeding them for a few weeks now.
They just bring the fish, drop it in the nest, and the kids feed themselves. Sometimes the battles get fierce, as you can see in this video. (4:12)
I watch them for a little while every day. They won't be around much longer. They barely spend any time in the nest anymore, choosing instead to sit on the branches outside the nest.

Being out of work on short term disability, I've had time to watch these two every day. It's very peaceful watching them hop around.
They rarely spend any time in the nest, other than to sleep or eat. The rest of the time, they're out on the branches of the tree, flapping and hopping and floating.
I'm going to miss them.

OMG!!! Sunny just flew away. Spread her wings, stood there a few seconds, and off she went.
Now I'm sad.
