According to Weller, they have seen two 'bobbleheads simultaneously visible above the aerie rim,' and there may be a third eaglet who is a few days younger and less mobile than the others.
Two eaglets is statistically most likely, according to Weller
As of Friday, the oldest eaglet was 22 days old while the second was around 20 days old.
If there is a third eaglet, it would be around 18 days old according to Weller.
The eaglets will be as big as their parents in around 7 weeks and the first to fly will fledge around June 23rd.
'Scout and Willa are extremely busy keeping them fed to meet the caloric needs for such rapid growth,' Weller said.

Star's parents' nest, located along the Scioto River, has become popular among the local birdwatching community. After Star fell from the nest, officials from the Ohio Department of Natural Resources rescued her and took her to the Ohio Bird Sanctuary in Mansfield. Gary Comer, a wildlife management supervisor with ODNR, credited the birdwatchers who witnessed Star's fall and promptly sought help for saving the eaglet's life. With Star now back in the wild, officials are hopeful for her successful integration away from her parents' nest, as she is naturally prepared to leave at this stage.

Watch: College ring dropped into the Long Island Sound found 56 years later
Aug. 18 (UPI) -- A Fordham University Class of 1969 ring dropped into the Long Island Sound in New York was returned to its owner after a 56-year absence. Port Jefferson resident Dave Orlowski, who regularly takes his metal detector to Cedar Beach in Mount Sinai, said he was recently engaging in his treasure hunting hobby when he unearthed a ring buried under more than a foot of sand. "It said Alfred DiStefano, class of 1969, Fordham University," Orlowski told WCBS-TV. He said the question of what to do with the ring was answered by his wife. "She says, 'Well, if you lost your ring, wouldn't you want it returned?' And so, right. The question, answered," Orlowski told WABC-TV. Orlowski contacted Karen Manning, who runs the Fordham Class of '69 Facebook page, and she was able to put him in contact with DiStefano, who now lives in Texas. "He could have just sold it, and made some money on it, but, it restored my faith in humanity," Manning said. DiStefano said he clearly remembers losing the ring while watching a sunset on a Cedar Beach pier in 1969. "I remember it like it was yesterday. I remember watching it slip off my finger into the water, and it was deep," he said. "I said, 'It's gone.'" Orlowski said the nearest pier to the spot where he found the ring is about half a mile away, but there may have been a closer one decades ago. "When you think of continents moving over hundreds of millions of years, you know, a little ring could move over 50 years, half a mile," DiStefano said. DiStefano has his postman record the moment he received the ring in the mail and returned it to his finger. "I think a lot of people would not go out of their way, the extra mile. He did, and I really appreciate it," DiStefano said. Orlowski said he was just happy to have been able to do something nice for someone else. "I don't do it for money. I do it for the thrill," Orlowski said. "You never know what you're going to pull out."
