Observations in the Eagle Nests Viewing Pictures from the Nestcam   On 4/20 the chicks were a lot smaller than on 4/26. The chicks are covered with downy feathers. Chicks are huddles together. They are touching in as many places as possible. Chicks are in the center of the nest. The center of the nest has the least course stick material. Both chicks heads are up when the parent arrives. One chick- probably the older one has moved so it is facing the adult (and the food they brought). Both chicks moved over to the edge of the nest closer to the parent. It looks like the chicks use their wings to move across the nest. You can see parts of the wings- shoulder, elbow and arm. One chick looks bigger and darker than the other.
