You can see the thermal down that has come in. It's darker than the natal down.
The two chicks are moving out of the nest bowl and coming to the food.
Flapping
They both have nice sized crops. They are getting plenty to eat.
A family s'cap with Mom.
Here's a link to a video of Dad delivering this fish (3:05). (You can see the fish tail at the 3 o'clock position. Dad had already eaten the head.)
Another fish appeared in the nest when I wasn't looking. Not sure who brought it... (This one still has a head.)
Mom started eating. The babies weren't even interested. They are already full...
Here's a link to a video of Mom eating some nestover bones and one of the babies moving out of the nest bowl (4:50).
Check out these spiders. I don't care for spiders too much, but these are some beauties! Check out the video too...
Here's a site that lists (all?) of the birdcams. Leave a comment if you find something good so I can watch too!
A small plane crashed at the Norfolk Botanical Garden around 4:30AM (early this morning). There was very poor visibility due to fog. The plane was found in the Enchanted Forest part of the garden about three hours after the crash. It missed the runway at the (next door) Norfolk Airport by about 1.5 miles. There were 3 aboard, no survivors. The garden is closed until the investigation at the scene is completed and the plane is removed. The Norfolk Botanical Garden, for many years, was the happy home of the Norfolk Eagles. In the last few years, the city of Norfolk has harassed the eagles into leaving the garden because they felt the eagles posed a hazard to flight.
