Here they are now, almost three times the size, and the bigger one, about double the size of the smaller sibling.

My very favorite bird has always been, and still is, the bald eagle. I still get a rush, when one flies overhead. I feel a sense of awe, and power and freedom, and bonus, I almost always have good luck when eagles fly near me, and I do believe that animals and birds have messages for us. They send power, energy and inspiration, if we are simply silent enough to listen.

What a joy to view baby eagles at about a week old. I live on beautiful Vancouver Island, about 10 minutes from one of my favorite Gulf Islands in British Columbia, so I am close enough to go back almost every week to view the progress of these chicks. There was two in the nest on week one, and on week two, one was already significantly larger than the other. The photos here are from my first viewing, where I estimate they were about a week old. Enjoy this, high above the ocean in a tree top, Mom and Dad and two babies, and I am viewing from a nearby cliff from above.
