E3 just did a funny thing, they were all hunkered down and then E3 got up and started moving around the nest, then bent forward and squirted a stream of poop out the nest, then waddles in between E1 and E2 and picks a fight with E1 and then ducks down so that when E1 starts pecking, she gets E2. It was really funny. I think E3 is smart. Also, I think E3 is the only male, the other two, being so huge, are probably females. So the little brother is the wise guy.

I'm glad they are all still alive.

1. They sounds like the Three Stooges, LOL!

I so enjoy watching them.

2. They're alone again now too

And yes, the Three Stooges is exactly how they look and behave, lol.

E1 just STEPPED on E3's neck and I thought that was it, it was over for the runt. But he somehow pulled his head out from under that mammmoth foot, shook it off and moved somewhere else.

That they survive is astonishing.

3. Apparently poop squirting

is an instinctual thing. My wife had observed them do that a week or so earlier.

4. I guess we're back to posting in GD now?

Seems like they're letting the threads stay over there now.

I wish I had seen that "3 stooges" act.

I just saw something cool:

5. they're alone right now too

I've had the window up a couple of hours and I haven't seen either parent, but I haven't watched the whole time. How long do they spend alone? Is that normal and okay?

6. I wonder if the parents are on nearby branches and are just letting

the eaglets gain independence.

7. they're back, both of them, I was getting worried

I mean I know that's silly, this pair's raised chicks before, they know what they're doing. I was just watching the little things toddle around and worrying one would fall out lol
