Lori: "I've been watching them off and on and I happened to catch a feeding awhile ago. Of course Tess raced to the feeding line and tried to keep Oro at bay but... little Oro charged right by her and got up in Mom's face and got a really nice feeding. Tess just sat there and watched. Laughing I was cheering for the little guy."

It certainly looks as if one of them is watching the line of birds flying by - and see how big the wings are getting!

Update from Audubon of Florida - Friends of the Eagles
2/5/08: "Now approaching four weeks of age, the eaglets continue to grow at an astonishing rate.Though one is larger than the other, the size difference will diminish as the younger chick catches up to his older sibling. Most of the time, in a two-eaglet nest, one is male and one female. At six weeks we should notice that one is growing larger; that will be the female.

The eaglets are much more active, and have begun to playfully peck at each other and play with nest material. The parents occasionally leave the nest for short periods, but one is always nearby to protect the youngsters. They are consuming more and more food every day, so the adults are kept busy bringing fish, squirrels, snakes and wading birds, among other prey, to the nest."

Shoebutton: "Sundown and Tess has such a full crop, she looks like she could roll around the nest bowl. LOL Can't tell if Oro is the same way."
LakeMaMa: "I noticed during the last feeding that Mom turned frequently to Oro and Oro didn't come to take it. She kept offering but maybe Oro's tummy was already full. I came in late for the feeding."

Note: Lolly's picture was posted on a different forum than LakeMaMa and Shoebutton's comments; together, they provide assurance that both were indeed well fed.
