Eagle cam. Two eaglets have hatched and I understand the third one is almost there.

We’ve been watching it for awhile. I am worried about the third chick. I couldn’t watch yesterday, during the storm. they are supposed to be my peaceful happy place in all the chaos, and it was too much watching that baby trying to hatch and all that freaking snow! Many these guys are the most amazing hunters. They are not suffering from lack of food.

Yes, the big ones. I’m not so sure about the one that hasn’t come out of the egg yet. But wow, that Shadow is an awesome hunter. Jackie too, but she seems to want to sit on the eggs more. So many fish lining the nest right now!

The third eaglet has hatched. This video seems appropriate.
Link to videoFrom the comments:
The method to make this availbable to film without harming the embryo is developed by my grandfather, whose name appears as "professional consultant" ("tudományos tanácsadó), "Dr. Braun Sándor főorvos", (Dept. head. doctor) at the closing titles. He developed the method during his pathology reserach into tumoruous illnesses in his lab, in the Budapest, Péterfy Sándor str. Hospital, Dept. of Pathology, which he led until his early death, and where this film was shot.
