I was surprised when someone said on here it had hatched because it was laid several days later - I thought maybe it would be a few more days for it and then a few more days for the third one. I can't see the interaction with the school children since I"m here at work so I'm looking forward to that when I get home. I'm lucky the webcam itself isn't blocked and that I can watch it...it does feel a little voyueristic to watch however but so amazing.

Oh, I missed it while I was over there posting in the political forum...I've emailed my sister who is as nerdy as Miss Jane on the Beverly Hillbillies when it comes to bird watching. I've been watching my email to see if she has seen this yet. She'll be THRILLED. This is addictive. I'll be dark soon and we can't watch until tomorrow. Hurry and bring food to the nest!!!

SHE'S Up OFF THE NEST AGAIN

[Pturner]

Both eagles are in the nest right now!!!!

[bkcunningham1]

I just saw it. And then saw the eagle fly out of the nest. I know this sounds corny, but wasn't it moving to see the eagle look at the baby when it stood up. Backed up and moved forward and peered down. I loved that. Like, "just checking on you down there little one."

Both eagles are there now. Look.

[bkcunningham1]

The cam panned out and what a shot. You can see one eagle in the nest and the other on a nearby tree limb waiting. Like an expectant father in the waiting room! Only I think this father is waiting to get something to eat. I'm so grateful to you for posting the link to this amazing site!!

Pturner, did you read the "stop bird porn" story and watch the video?

I didn't read the story. The video plays when you open it and I listened. It sounded dumb. Did the story make sense?

It was just about this group that want's to ban bird watching because it disturbs mating in birds. Their logic though, is that there is an increase of senior citizens who bird watch because of the ease of the practice. The group said they have scientific proof that the mating habits of birds, ie display of plumes, dancing, strutting and so forth, turns the seniors on sexually. This group who has this website said this has caused a worldwide increase of naked birdwatching!!

OMG, did you just see again. She got off the nest and again you could see the little chick. I guess it's still just the first one trying to get more out of the shell!
