I have become so fascinated by the eagles. Not only the constant care the mother eagle shows for the eaglets during the day, bringing them food, waching over them, playing with them, but also her lonely surveillance during the night.

Dad's around too, mostly during daytime hours, flying in and out with treats and sometimes helping with the feeding.
But Mom appears to be the constant guarder.

| We're hungry! |

| Mom returns |
 |
| Yes? |
Even when Mom's not there, you know she can't be too far away, maybe sitting on a branch above, watching. That way the eaglets can stretch out and relax and sleep peacefully, out in the open but up high and safe, even as a dog howls somewhere in the distance.
