Returning from Home Depot with remolding supplies. What's going on? Sitting on eggs? Little ones?

According to the park Naturalist, this nest was partially destroyed in an early January storm. She (the Naturalist) found an egg on the ground. The pair immediately began rebuilding and continued brooding activities, indicating to her that a second egg may have survived the storm. This image was made during the third week in February. The pair was definitely exhibiting brooding behavior. One always on the nest, standing, stretching and moving the egg around about every 20 minutes. Shift change occurred about every 3 hours or so. The returning Eagle always bringing in some pine needles or a few sticks to keep the homestead looking nice. Both would spend a few minutes inspecting and remodeling then the first bird would fly off. The Naturalist predicts that if the egg is viable, it should hatch by mid-March. We are rooting for them! Fascinating. My wife and I trekked out to the site 6 times and spent 2-3 hours on each visit...leaving after shift change.
