Yes, indeedy, both eagles are here. Now, if the older one by 3 days will let his younger sibling have a bite or two once in a while then the parents will have successfully raised two new eagles to add to the count.

Mga, which camera is this one? My eyes aren't so good. It looks like the owl cam?

Tess, it is the owl cam. If that is the baby we are seeing in MGA's pic, though, it looks HUGE. Isn't it only about a week old? And weren't there about four babies?

Momma Owl doesn't let the little ones look out very often. The next refresh of the screen and she had them covered up again!!

Great shots Lucy.. I didn't watch for long, but it was fun watching her trying to keep them under tabs..lol. They really are huge already, aren't they? At first I thought maybe it was some kind of rodent she was trying to kill/feed them.

The one eaglet is quite a bit larger, but the tiny one looks bright eyed and bushy tailed as if it also is getting plenty. Go eaglets!

What a cute picture, OG. Hi Half and MGA!! Star and Spirit seem to be getting the nest ready for "the big day". April 22-28 is the estimated date of arrival!!

This is what's being said at Eagle Headquarters: It's real close! We're seeing signs of hatching probably within the next 12-24 hours. One of the eggs has a hole in it and if you were watching in the last 30 minutes you saw them both starring and watching the egg & carefully turning it. Then Star flew out and returned within moments with a fat 8-9" fish. Spirit has gone into fast mode wuth building up the nest too. He flew out and returned within seconds with huge sticks to add to the front side (closest to you) of the nest and fluffing up nest grass.. Ok, it's almost time! Stay tuned! I thought that was a fish in the picture above!!!

That ain't no fish! That's a whale! It is fascinating to me to be able to watch these animals taking care of eggs at first, then their babies. They sure do go through a lot of fish! Thanks for all the pictures!

Hi Half, glad you made your way over here. I was going to drop you a note and then the board went down. It sure is fascinating to watch, and so different from last year's events. I won't say it's been boring this year, but the eggs have been well covered 99% of the time. Not much flying in and out of the nest like last year. I'm looking forward to watching the eagles grow over the next couple of months.

Great pics today, Lucy, especially the one with the fish! As soon as I saw your alert I raced to the webcam. Star was fussing up a storm over the eggs when I got there about 5:20, but both still olooked intact. I wonder if we will have a baby by morning?

Puget Sound Cam is back on live status now, but no eggs or eagles seem to be present there yet. Looks almost like the nest grew weeds...lol

MGA, that doesn't even look like the same nest. I've been trying to figure out what angle that picture could have been taken from?? hmmmm???? Things seem pretty quiet this morning, no sign of any hatching.

I guess there has been activity!!! Here's a post from Eaglecam Headquarters: After reviewing videotapes, the first 2004 EagleCam eaglet completely escaped from its shell at 07:08 PST on 4-22-04! Star proudly stood up and flapped her wings as if to announce to the world, "My eaglet has landed!" jinx, sbw, we were posting at the same time!!
