Mother Eagle Tending Her Young

Well it is official that we have eaglets in the next on West Union...how many, we are not certain, but time will tell.  It's been very interesting to watch as the saga unfolds...nest exchanges, and then no nest exchanges (I guess Mom thought she didn't need his help for a bit), and how lots of feeding and protecting behavior (shading from the sun).  Now we just get to wait to see those little beaks rise up above the edge of the nest.  We cannot see them yet, but can't wait for the first glimpse.

Photos from today can be found on flickr.
