Eaglepedia Revisited

May 8, 2008

2005 Eagle Nest - 3 Chicks - Blackwater National Wildlife Refuge in Cambridge, Maryland :

At 7 weeks old, the eaglets will have almost all their feathers. At 8-9 weeks they'll begin branching -- or flapping and hopping -- to different parts of the nest and maybe even branches of their tree. At 10-12 weeks, they'll be almost as big as their parents and will be ready to leave the nest for their first flight.

As for the feathers, both of the oldest chicks have extensive feather development. The third eaglet still has a good bit of down, but black feathers are now visible on his body as well. Also, we're starting to see more of the eaglets preening themselves as they maintain their new body coverings.

Don't miss out - ^"^ ^"^ ^"^ ^"^ (copying here FYI)

Many of the forum members and visitors, tend to follow one particular nest more than the others or like me at work - sometimes only have an opportunity to observe one during the day, etc.

If you aren't familiar with or haven't recently saved the links to the other nests we can observe online and follow, you can go to IWS Eagle Forum or IWS.org for the most recent links:

IWS Eagle Forum - Cam Link Page[color] [/color]

From time to time, Dr. Sharpe may upgrade or have to change a link (although not recently) and these are the two sights that would have the most current links. Both nests have a running live feed on UStream or as the case may be, they also have a slo motion feed that refreshes every 5 seconds.

Thanks all!
