Hey, thats pretty cool Nick. Makes me wonder whos the guy they got to climb up their and put that camera up.. "oh dont worry, I think the eagles gone, you'll be fine". HA.

Thats cool Nick. What state is this in?

The first baby eagle should start hatching from it's egg any time now. I hoped it would be today so I could give it a catchy St. Patricks Day nickname, but, oh well. All three should hatch within the next few days. I hope they didn't get too cold or something bad. I keep checking on them every couple of hours or so. It seems a little silly, but I'm kind of excited about the whole thing...hehe

March 30: A very interesting sequence of events takes place about 10:35 CDT. The male brings in an American Coot and begins eating it. A large stick is in his way, and he spends a moment rearranging it several times. The female rises and the male begins feeding the chick, who clambers over to get closer to the coot. The female begins burying the unhatched eggs in the nest lining. Shortly thereafter, the female leaves and the male unburies the eggs and settles on them, by all appearances ineptly excluding the chick for a few minutes before allowing it to climb under for brooding.
He seemed focused on the eggs, although they will almost certainly not hatch at this point.

April 1: Camera viewers this morning noticed an unhatched egg stuck to the female as she stood up and flew off. The egg dropped off in flight. It had probably cracked and adhered to her feathers.

April 2: These birds are some very good parents. The nest is full of food. Earlier today, I counted 2 big fish, 4 American Coots and a rabbit.

Its like watching this computer monitor. Seems like before you know it hours have gone by.
