T40, thanks for posting that news article.  It has some great background info about this nest and the history of these eagles.

Lest anyone come into this thread and see the last few posts with a pic of hatchlings without reading the earlier posts or already knowing the current status at this nest this year... I think it might be helpful to avoid confusion by saying there are no hatches yet at this nest this year, and there are only 2 eggs laid.

The news article posted by T40 above has a lot of info about this nest and these eagles, and the egg-laying info for this year, and also says:
"The pair is protecting two eggs, Wagner said. The first egg was laid Feb. 18 at 4:15 p.m. The second was laid on Feb. 21 at 5:35 p.m. Both eggs are expected to hatch towards the end of March, approximately 35 days after each was laid, she said."
