Dear Family,
We have had an exciting journey with our Eagles!! We have watched the live-stream video of them ever since the eggs hatched over 4 weeks ago. It is amazing to see how they've grown! Now we eagerly await the time when the little ones spread their wings and fly away! Here's what we have learned:
Momma and Daddy Eagle take approx. 4 hour turns on the nest with the babies while the other gets food for them.
At first, worms are their entire meal.
Later, they bring back fish, birds, and squirrels to feast upon.
Momma picks at the prey and gives the babies bites of food.
Then, as they get bigger, the fledglings pick at and eat their own food.
Their nest is several feet in width and very high.
The eaglets grow VERY fast!!
Today, 5-1-14, we drew the nesting site, along with baby eagles. We also wrote about what we know about them. We created a "nest" and "eaglets" with leaves and cotton balls!!
Please check out the Eagles @ decoraheagles.com
Happy Eagle watching, and we hope you had a beautiful Easter,
Mrs. Woods :)
