Landing in the Sunset

Louisiana

This is the nest of the young pair. Something had them very nervous this evening and they called out to each other in many various calls. Eventually they got together on the nest and she began tearing apart something in the nest (some animal) and feeding the eaglets. I have not seen them yet but I assume that is what she was doing. They usually don't bring food to the nest unless there are eaglets. They must have hatched the week we had all the rain, wind and cold when I didn't get there. I am putting January 7 as their birthdate.
