I have found that my problem with opening the Eaglecam video was that the Brave Browser I was using for Cracker Barrel Philosophers was not comparable, at least on my settings, but when I tried on Apple’s Safari browser it was fine.

Excellent---join me in the waiting room
I don't know the time difference between when the eggs were laid but that will be the interval between when they hatch. I am guessing the second will hatch tomorrow.
A bit of trivia: the chicks are unable to regulate their body temperature, thus Mom needs to continue to sit on them. The same applies if the weather gets too warm, in which case she will stand between them and the sun with her (the male will do the same) wings spread to give them shade.

Right on schedule # 2 is out
The male is on the nest at the moment. The male is noticeably smaller than the female.
Another bit of trivia: If you see them moving around while sitting on the nest they are trying to get the eaglets (or the eggs) under a "brood patch" which is a bare spot on their breast. The purpose is to be able to more closely control the temperature for the eaglets or eggs.
Last night before dark the male was on the nest. As I was watching he was looking all around and up high---then he began hollering---serious hollering (visible not audio). I had no idea what had him so upset. I soon found the answer---apparently the female was sitting close by and Pop had had enough of nest sitting. Shortly he got off the nest and left---and Mom resumed her seat

I'm sorry to report that one eaglet has died. Somehow it got out of the nest and fell through a hole about 16" away from the nest proper. The male was on the nest at the time and he seemed unaware of what happened. I could see the eaglet struggling to get out but there was no chance. After possibly 30 minutes I could not see it anymore.

Here are some pics of the eagles I referenced earlier near my home on the lake.
