First pip hole today and you can hear the babies chirping!

How long does it take from pip hole to eaglet? I watched that nest all day. I'm so excited!

According to this article, it takes about 24 hours from pip hole to hatch. I'm not sure when this pip hole appeared -- I guess no one can be certain.

I think it was first commented on in the Hornby forum this afternoon. So maybe tomorrow?

One of the eaglets is half way out of the shell

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.

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. 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 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

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!

I can't believe I missed this! We have a lot of bald eagles here in Missouri--we even have one along our bike trail. If you get up early enough, you'll see him fish for breakfast. But I don't think I've seen a webcam with with audio!

Gotta go--Dad just joined Mom in the nest

Careful, Trek, you'll get hooked. It's fascinating. We have a nest along the Tunnel Hill trail too but you only get a glimpse of the eagles flying to and from. This is so awesome to actually peer inside.

It doesn't look like the second age is going to hatch, does it?
