Update from Audubon of Florida - Friends of the Eagles
1/24/08: "Two downy eaglets are now clearly visible. They are two weeks old, and their light gray natal down is being replaced with darker woolly down. They can now thermoregulate their body temperature, and the adults no longer have to keep them warm. The parents may occasionally leave the nest for a few minutes, and this is no cause for alarm. One of the pair is always nearby to protect the youngsters. They are still spending much of their time sleeping, but will become more active in the coming weeks. The rate of growth, fastest of any North American bird, is amazing. In another eight weeks, these small birds will be as large as their parents."
