Itā€™s eating again right now, if anyone wants to go watch. ETA: Looks like nap time has started again. That was only a half hour between feedings, though - the baby must need to eat pretty frequently at this stage. ---

The baby just got fed. Momma stepped aside and the little one was facing the camera. Spielberg couldnā€™t have staged a better shot. If itā€™s archived somewhere, itā€™s at about 7:09 Central Time. ---

Just saw changing of the guard and a feeding. Only one baby got fed, the other just kind of sat there wobbling. ---

It really has been fascinating. Every board and half my friends on FB are watching that nest. ---

One baby seems to get fed a lot more than the other. All the times Iā€™ve seen them feeding, itā€™s like a 5 to 1 ratio of which baby gets food. Fuzzy Wobbles is getting the short end of the stick. ---

Btw Iā€™m not impressed with hummingbird mom. She leaves a lot and leaves the babies unattended. What is their nest made of, btw? Carpet? I saw someoneā€™s hand in there earlier and there appears to be a plastic zip tie holding the thing together as wellā€¦ ---

That 2nd baby isnā€™t very good at receiving food yet. It keeps falling over. ---

One of the babies is way off to the side of the nest and seems to be trying in vain to get back under its parent. Itā€™s not working out so well so far. The parent seems to be trying various positions to cover both and seems to be picking apart the nest for some reason. ---

Well Iā€™m back from my camping trip. I see a lot has happened- Eaglet #2 has hatched, feeding has commenced, eaglet #1 almost went overboard. Iā€™m bummed that I missed another hatching- I hope I catch #3! What are they feeding the babies? Do they give them raw meat right off the bat- or should I say, right off the rabbit? Or are they regurgitating? ---

There they go! Yep, raw meat it is! And theyā€™re both getting some bits. ---
