The Big Bear Eaglets have hatched and here is a link to the youtube page if you'd like to watch them live:
Here is a link to to a short clip showing the chicks up close - this was their first meal and they weren't quite sitting up well yet:
There is still a 3rd unhatched egg in the nest that may or may not hatch. TBH, it would be better if it didn't, because at this high altitude and cold conditions, it's hard to keep 3 chicks alive. Sometimes the nest gets completely covered over in snow, with one of the eagle parents on the nest, buried under the snow.
