Mom and Dad work hard to keep their ever hungry children, Peace and Harmony, filled up. At a little over a month old, they continue to grow and develop at a breathtaking rate. Already they weigh in at about 5 lbs each, with a wingspan greater than 2.5 feet.

| These are the talons of an 8 week old eaglet |
I only log in and watch the little family a few minutes a day, but this whole process, from the nesting to the egg-laying, to the incubation period, and now the eaglet-raising, has been such an enlightening and gratifying experience. The thing that has struck me most is how vital to their survival the father has been throughout. The male parent is every bit as important in the wild as with humans.
