As of Monday, the three eaglets are being fed regularly and there is no shortage of food being brought to the nest.
"Cam viewers have asked about the sibling rivalry they've seen. The eaglets have displayed this behavior. But for the most part there has been little pecking between the eaglets during feeding and they are all getting fed. Let's hope that this continues as it can be difficult to watch," said Conserve Wildlife Foundation of NJ.
