I found Dad Petruchio cleaning the nest and being watched by one of the chicks.
He soon left the nest and both chicks watched him go.
A while later, I first found Kate.
Then Petruchio, each on one of their favorite outlook perches.

TagJordan Lake Bald Eagle First Nest CHICKS!!!
The lake level finally dropped enough for me to get to a place where I could photograph the family. The chicks are about 4 1/2 weeks old.
my updated dreamingsongs photography gallery…
Having just added new photos to my print gallery (more than a dozen bird species), I want to say my heart-felt thanks to each of you who has bought a print from me in the past. My thanks to those of you who check out my gallery site and consider making a purchase. Each purchase helps me to continue my field studies at Jordan Lake and I do enjoy the studying. However, my biggest joy is in the sharing with all of you what I observe at the lake. Thanks for considering a purchase.
Peace and Grace, Doc Ellen

Jordan Lake Bald Eagle Nest: Ranger Cove, Ranger Dad and a Squirrel 06-08-2019
Ranger Cove Bald Eagle Nest
Ranger Dad brought a squirrel to the nest this morning.
The squirrel was so heavy that Ranger Dad had to slide in sideways to the nest and slam on his brakes.
The unfledged chick was still in the nest and it promptly pounced on the squirrel.
This made the eaglet fledgling, who was up top on the right hand trunk, pretty darn mad.
So mad that he flew/fell/crash landed down into the nest.
Then it was a free-for all for possession of the squirrel.
Ranger dad stayed out of the fight until he decided that he should be the one to parcel out the food.

Jordan Lake Bald Eagle Nest report: Ranger Cove nest, 6 photos
Ranger Cove Nest
Ranger mom showed up with food. I couldn’t decide just what the food was.
The two chicks got into a fight over who was going to eat and mom was stuck in-between them.
Extracting herself from the melee, Ranger Mom quickly went down east in the cove and glared at the world.
It didn’t take long for the chuck of food to be consumed and the chicks went to waiting for the next meal.
