All four chicks have hatched at Sutton.
"25 March: The fourth chick has hatched (see it lying down to the right of the three older chicks in the photo below). We are not sure exactly when it hatched, because it has been hard to see past the first three chicks. It appeared motionless during the brief interval that the female was off the nest and this photo was taken. With its late hatch and small size (relative to the other three chicks), it will need to compete with its larger siblings for both food and warmth. While we hope for the best, it is at a disadvantage, especially in the cold weather Oklahoma is experiencing right now (lows in the 20s F at night). There is a super abundance of food in the nest right now, including several fish and several American Coots, which will help, although the youngest chick would still need to be able to claim a share of the food from the adult until it is much older and able to feed itself." Copied from Sutton site.

"28 March 2013: The nest is down to two chicks. As feared, the youngest chick appears to have not survived very long after hatching. Another of its siblings has also perished. We did not see and cannot say definitively how or why they died, although it is most likely due to either competition for warmth or aggressive competition among the siblings. During a feeding bout prior to 9:00 am this morning, the size difference between the oldest chick and its nestmate was readily apparent, and when the adult eagle briefly stopped feeding the chicks while it took a moment to work on dismantling a fish, the oldest chick could be seen using the pause to hammer on its smaller sibling. While the chicks are being brooded and while they are actively receiving food during a feeding session, this aggressive behavior is inhibited, but it can surface when the chicks are uncovered and not being continually fed. For a more in depth discussion of this behavior, visit the link at the upper left side of this page for the 2012 Nesting Season Information and read the March 2, 2012 entry. Two eggs is an average clutch size for Bald Eagles, and three or four egg clutches mean the chicks face longer odds for survival." Update taken from Sutton site.

Both are active and eating well...Hulk is trying to hog the food and still picking on little one. Mom moved to intervene this time by partially covering and separating them. Pantry well stocked....one fish tried to get away, kids were telling Mom but she ignored them. She finally saw fish flopping and took care of that real quick!

Rainy and cold today. Watched for about 15 min and did not get a peek of the eaglets. Bad hair day for Mom!
