Thursday, April 25, 2013. Mom had just placed a small stick on top of her three week old eaglet and then starts to move some loose nest material around next to the little one as if to try a arouse it. It was reminiscent of my mother trying to get me to wake up and come to the breakfast table when I was very young. It takes a lot of patience and persistence on the mothers part, but after a while the young eaglet gives in, lifts it head and starts to eat. I'm happy to report that all is well at Fort St. Vrain.

If you would like to view the nest live and in real time, here is the link...
