Sheryl it is raining on our eagles right now and even though they are used to such weather it's still sad to see them trying to keep their babies dry and getting all soaked and wind blown

lol...I've kept tabs on these birds for too long I think...I'm already dreading when they will be big enough to leave the nest...

I am officially hooked!  So are my hubby and daughter!  We have them up 24/7 now, checking on them constantly.  I noticed today that the mom shifted to the other side of where she was so she could protect them from the obvious wind.  And then tonight the wind had changed direction and she switched back to the other side of them.  I did get to see the dad come once today and noticed how they all woke up and had "family" food time.  This is really awesome!

Very cool!  We had hummingbirds nest just outside our kitchen window, but this is amazing!

Babies are getting too big to fit under mom now. It's raining and cold and they are fighting for a warm spot

I noticed that.  And now, it's been snowing.  I read how the mom and dad eagles had babies in 2008, then again in 2009 and 2010.  And now this year.  I think it's amazing how they stick together and continue to expand their family year after year.

    I love watching them eat, the little ones are just too cute together today...

Winter just doesn't want to let go where they are.  It's hard to believe it's so warm down here where we live and night before last they were still having sleet.  They are definitely an amazing family!

  They sure are growing up FAST, I can't believe how big they are already...

Yes they are!  I feel for the babies, though, when they get up and try moving around.  Their wings are so much larger and heavier that it looks like they are going to topple over when trying to get up!
