Well this morning while viewing the pair of nesting eagles, they made a shift change. While one was leaving and before the other could get on the eggs, I noticed a broken egg. Got a better look as the day watch eagle was shuffeling around and there was a new born chick and another one was emerging from another egg, and the third egg was cracked. The chick was a little a grey little fuzzy thing. I expect that things will be much busier when the 3 chicks are hungary all the while.

I just tuned in. It's feeding time. Mama/Papa eagle is rummaging through the pantry and selecting tidbits for the fuzzballs. I think the choices are fish, fish or fish.

One of the simplest but most awesome miracles of nature is a bird's nest. That eagle nest is a masterpiece of functional construction, yet I defy anyone here to re-create it to the same degree of perfection. You can even use your hands---not just your feet and mouth.

You have to remember: that mama bird/papa bird did not watch their parents build the nest they were born in, and I doubt that they were left a written blueprint, so you have to marvel at how powerfully those instincts are imprinted. Makes you think that there might be Somebody Else supervising all this.
 
Not sure just where this is--(PA), talks about broken egg.
