Confused as to what you are watching. The webcam is live video.

 

[Kimster]

I think Peeples watched an old video from the past.

Our babies are fine. I am having concerns over the egg though.

She has quite the buffet there!

Nesting behavior: Like bald eagles, ospreys often reuse ... The eggs will hatch in the same sequence as they were laid, in about four to five weeks time. The female will stay on the nest the majority of the time, with the male giving her an occasional break when she leaves to hunt for food

I was wondering if she did the hunting or does the male? Still not sure...

This is an osprey link, but their behavior is similar

Yeah it's a video of the same eagles, just from 2008 it was done as a documentary for PBS.. i posted the link a couple times on the previous page

the third is expected in about three days
He said he got more than 500 e-mails from Saturday night to Sunday morning.
The pair of eagles have raised eight chicks since they built the nest four years ago.

I have finally made my way back "home"!! Just in time for a feeding.

 

[Blue_Dolphin308]

is it mom or pop there now?

 

[LaWanda]

Looks like Pop. His eyes aren't as grey. I tried to catch up on all the posts. Hopefully, I have the right one. LOL

 

[tlcya]

Is the meal today a bird? I see feathers there in the nest towards the bottom of the nest.

 

[peeples]

yep i think it's a crow LOL

 

[tlcya]

Highlights today:

Frisky baby 1 grabbed hold of mama's face when mama was trying to discard part of a shell from the nest and baby landed nearer to the edge:

(I love the way she looks out right after it happened like "oh /)@&$ what am I gonna do about this" lol)


Smart mama pretty quickly fixed the situation

yea tl - I think there might be 2 birds. There was one earlier - the camera zoomed in and it had an orange beak. Then later on this big one was there - I guess it could be the same and they just moved it - but the earlier one looked smaller. Plus there was a fish too - much earlier today. And the rabbit is still there too.

Quite the borgasmored - lol.

 

[LaWanda]

Chasing.Halos thank you for posting those You Tubes!!! I literally LOL'd when the baby caught momma's face!!
