We may experience a brief cam outage at 6:00pm Central Standard Time. We are going to see if we can do anything to reduce the pixelation.

:giggle: You need a daddy bird to relieve you!

Daddy brought that muskrat into the nest this morning. From what I can see, there is a crow, fish, rabbit and muskrat in the nest. Must smell most fabulous up there.

to an eagle it probably smells like the best buffet in town.

What was all that about? Lots of vocalizations...

It's sunny this morning and not much wind. Wonder if that third egg will hatch today?

 

[Wise Old Owl]

What was that that was for breakfast this morning? I noticed it had a tail. Akinda long tail. Muskrats don't have long tails - do they?

I only saw her feed the older one - then she wiggled back down. Did she feed the little one first?

 

[Paintr]

Wow! I looked and the babies were all alone. Mom was gone for a couple of minutes. First time I've seen that. The third egg is still unhatched. sigh! Mom came back and settled in again.

Potty break? lol

Good morning, fellow eagle watchers!! It sure looks warmer there today than it did yesterday. It's a good day for an egg hatching, as Paintr suggested!

That was the first thing I saw when I signed in this morning and it scared me! Glad to see she came back!

OHH WOW check out the view now!!!!!!

 

[peeples]

they were panning the camera and you could see the farm and the other eagle just hanging out sitting on a branch a few feet away form the nest

 

[cinsbythesea]

I wonder if it's someone different manning the cameras? We're getting some different views now. Was cool to see the eagle just sitting in the tree - wonder how close it was to the nest? Seems like a much nicer day - no wind tunnel sounds!

 

[peeples]

LOL one of the babies just sprayed poo all over.. i could have went without seeing that LOL

 

[peeples]

Momma's hungry ! doesn't seem to be much meat left on that carcass

 

[peeples]

that looks like an old crusty carcass that she's getting meat from now.... it's at the back of the nest.. not up front with the rest of the "goodies" lol

 

[peeples]

wow #2 doesn't look so good

 

[chasing.halos]

wow #2 doesn't look so good

I was really worried for a bit but I think it was just sleeping. It just yawned, lol. Now its head looks more controlled.

Why are they all alone? Strange. Parent just left them on their own.
