Earlier, I saw the one chick peck the other chicks head every time the second chick raised its head.

Yes, I did, too. Apparently eaglets do fight.

They're heavily at it this morning -- pecking at each other and squeaking. I think they're hungry!

I'm a little worried about the smaller one. The bigger (older) one is pecking on him/her a lot, especially at meal time. Very aggressive.

Wife tells me that unlike most of nature, the female eagle is the larger of the two - that's the only way you can tell them apart unless you get invited into the nest.

Well, the little one has finally decided to retaliate! They are really getting into it this morning.

I have been very unlucky to see the eaglets. Saw them briefly yesterday.
