Heat; Eagles survive the current heat

With the intense heatwave lately in California, I am wondering if the baby eaglets can survive with that heat baking the nest. There is no shelter, it seems, overhead, nothing to protect them. Is this a problem? Also, I never see liquids to drink. Don't the eaglets need to be hydrated in the hot weather? ^"^

The eagles do fine in the heat. They've been using these same nests for up to 17 years and there has never been a problem. Chicks can only get their fluids from their food, and maybe a little adult saliva.
