Baldheaded eagle webcam

One of the eaglets is half way out of the shell :cool:

I got a quick look at the baby this morning. Also saw Mom (I think) moving a piece of eggshell. At this point they are treating the baby as if he's still an egg.
I know they don't start feeding right away -- anyone know how long that takes?

The eaglet is getting fed right now.

I got to see two eagle feedings today! Eagle baby was just starting dinner when I came home from seeing my local hawk babies! How lovely to have raptors in two different time zones.

Thanks for the link. Now everybody at my work's addicted to eaglecam!

I got to see the eaglet feeding tonight too. This is so fascinating. I'm really enjoying watching this family. Our office is tripped into it too, staceysue!

I forwarded this to all the teachers at my elementary school and half of the classrooms were watching it today. It was great. One of the 5th grade teachers kept calling me in my office and saying, "You better come see! It's totally out of the shell!"

There is a discussion group here. Because we all need to spend even more time on this, right?

They have named the baby Phoenix.

:rolleyes: Hey great, people are enjoying and learning as they watch.


Meanwhile some of us "closer" to the eagles' home nest, still didn't catch seeing the babies yet. I checked late this afternoon but one of the parents seemed to be watching over a twiggy hole in nest. :confused: Or was sitting on top, etc.

Anyway another day to see.

I just saw the eaglet geting fed, so cool. I made my husband watch.

Somehow I missed this post yesterday, but am watching now :D Pity I missed the hatching but they are so cool to watch!

Ok, I must go to the store...go to the store...there is no food in my apartment...go to the store :p

Beautiful view of sitting eagle right now.
I did manage to see baby being tucked underneath parent's wing a few days ago but haven't checked again until now.

I take for granted this creature in our area..that I forgot to send the link back to friend and family back in Ontario.

Family squabble! Dad flew in, decided to move one of the nest sticks. Mom disagreed and grabbed other end of stick; two majestic raptors played tug-of-war for a few seconds. Mom prevailed and the stick stayed where it was. Commotion woke the baby who said "Eeep! Eeep!" Mom finally fed baby; dad flew off in a huff.

Okay, "huff" is anthropomorphic, but it sure looked that way.

There's a pip in the second egg!

This is very cool! Thanks for the link!
