ha, I was just asking my friend if she knew when the hornby island eagles were going to do things. brr, it looks cold and miserable there!
I don't have Facebook so I seem to not get a lot of the info - do you know when they are expected to lay eggs?

it was looking like she may lay one last Friday but I guess it was just false labour
I'm so busy lately with all the birds to watch! Phoebe, Ma & Pa Hornby; the eagle in the Delta, B.C. nest (Hancock website has a link) have already laid 2 eggs a couple of weeks ago. I think the hatch watch is first week of April

Badger, the cams are an addiction.
I read the chat during egg-laying last night. The blessed event was on the TV at a bar in New Hampshire, which I thought was wonderful and hilarious.

lol, if it was laid 7am here, it means people were in the bar at 11am?! blessed, indeed!
I'm glad that people care and are welcoming them into their lives.

Oh no it was 7:44 p.m. I should have specified. Would have made a better story if it were a.m, though

Precocious baby in Decorah nest
This video is from an eagle nest near the Decorah Fish Hatchery (Iowa).
The baby eaglet escapes the nest bowl and tries to eat a muskrat toe during his little adventure.
It's very funny and ends with the eaglet being safely tucked in where he belongs.
Decorah nest has two eaglets and one remaining egg (which I suspect is not viable as it hasn't hatched).

In the Decorah nest, the third egg hatched! They were zooming in on close-ups of the pipping yesterday. Just a little while ago, both parents were feeding all 3. I was surprised that the newest addition is not much smaller than the other two. The site has a link to a You Tube video of the actual hatch.
