Okay Eagle people. I have some pics and a question. [View all]

I took this picture a couple of days ago. Both Eagles were hanging around the nest which was unusual. I caught this shot of both of them feeding the kids.

This was taken at 7:30am. The eaglet in the front got no food.

This is how the eaglets look today. The one in front does not sit up much. The Mama was just feeding them and that eaglet didn't get any food. The other eaglet is also pecking her some.

Is there something wrong with that eaglet? I can't decide what's going on.

That one may be a few days younger; they don't hatch on the same day. Brickbat Apr 2015 #3
