Update at Boonshoft/Dayton Ohio
Jim & Cindy
Update April 12, 2012 - Watched the cam for 15 Min. Whew !!!! I saw TWO. Yes 2 simultaneously as Cindy was feeding them. They looked well. Whoooooo Hoooooo.

Earlier today I received an email stating that the sender had witnessed one of the adult eagles moving what seemed to be a dead eaglet. He was wondering if anyone else had seen the fleeting glimpse on the eagle-cam of what appeared to be a deceased eaglet. The potential actuality of one of the eaglet not surviving is something to consider.

The mortality rate of eaglets is still fairly high, although the survival numbers seem to be improving. We know that Jim and Cindy are clearly feeding more than one eaglet because of the amount of food being brought to the nest and both adults simultaneously feeding young in separate areas of the nest. Two eaglets in a brood are common as our eagles proved last year. There is the somewhat less common occurrence of three eaglets in a single brood while broods of four eaglets are rare. Although Jim and Cindy are excellent providers, when there are multiple eaglets, the older, stronger, more aggressive feeder may consume so much of the food that the younger, weaker sibling will become malnourished and die. This possibility increases if there are three eaglets in the nest as the youngest has to compete with two nest-mates and is several days younger than the oldest eaglet. Although while watching the eagle-cam we can clearly see the grey head of a healthy eaglet peeking out of the nest every so often, without a camera above the nest we cannot be sure of what the eaglets are doing.

Speaking of cameras, a better camera has replaced the new “camera two” so the image in the live stream is much improved. The position, angle and view of this camera will clearly show the eaglets as they begin moving around in the nest more and testing out their wings by hovering above the nest in the latter part of May
