Thank you so much for supporting the Raptor Resource Project’s Hatch Fundraiser! Because of your generosity, we raised over $12,000 to support the tools and programs that connect people to raptors, including our live-streaming nest cams, migration tracking, education outreach, and in-depth research.
Your gift helps us watch, learn from, and protect these extraordinary birds. We’re so grateful to have you with us in this work, and we hope you enjoy this video of TE3 at 25 days of age! Look for growing pinfeathers, huge clown clompers, and the last dandelion puffs of natal down. How can our little eaglet be getting so big?
Note: we sometimes get questions about panting. Eagles don’t sweat, so they need to pant, sprawl, and/or move into the shade to lose heat. Curious about feathers and an eagle’s integument? We have a blog for that! https://www.raptorresource.org/2025/05/06/what-are-feathers-what-is-molt-2/
