Wonderful video of the Decorah, Iowa Bald Eagles. This video is the mother feeding her firstborn baby. The second baby can also be clearly seen. The video was taken on 4/3/11 around 9:30am.
@MsOstroski The other baby was just had just hatched a few hours earlier when this video was posted. Typically, new hatches do not feed for the first 12 to 24 hours. Happily, all three eaglets have hatched and are very healthy so far. Mom and Dad eagle have a 100% success rate in previous years of raising their young. Looks like we can expect 100% this year too.
Is the other baby to weak to be fed and will she reject it
