Yes, still in egg. BTW, it is HE who is laying on it. They take turns, but it has been Daddy this afternoon, including when he got up and you could see the cracked egg. This is soooo exciting. He is really moving around a lot, panting and sometimes tightening up the nest to keept he eggs warm!

Bare, thanks so much for letting us know about this.

Did you notice the moderated discussion going on along the side panel of the site? I think some school kids are watching and their teacher is posting questions!!

Hi cuz! Stay tuned to web cam. First feeding will probably be in a couple hours. Initially, they get nourishment from the egg, according to the site.

OMG, did you see the eaglet!!! How many eggs are left in the nest?? I love that the students are interacting. I'd love to be there with them watching.

Oh my, oh my! Mom just stood up for a full minute and you could see the little chick squirm around. Too cool! Y'all please watch. This is awesome.

Okay, this is unbelievable. But completely true. A group is protesting bird porn. Not a joke. Too funny not to share while we are all watching this cam!!!

In some ways, we are. They are in classrooms watching the webcam, like us. There are two unhatched eggs left.
