Eagle cam

Very cool, ssb. Oh my, how I love eagles. How long does it take for the eggs to hatch?
What was that other cam we all watched for days a long time ago????

She jsut turned around! I'd like to think it was jsut for me.

So cool! That nest is huge!

DD...I think it was a pond in Africa.

I think you're right.

I had the cam on all day yesterday and didn't see much action. Then I went outside on the porch, glanced in at the screen and she was gone! As soon as I stepped back inside, the Daddy bird (10) flew in to take over. It was very cool!
I'm keeping it on just for the sounds of the Santa Cruz woods.

i watched her yesterday afternoon. i wanna see those sweet babies.

I can't watch at work, dammit. I'll check as soon as I get home though. This is so exciting!

It really is exciting DD. Since I'm in all day today I've kept it on. Just a few minutes ago, they traded places again. It's amazing. I kind of thought I would be able to see the other one in the background whenever it approached, but she just appeared from under the nest! She's was very graceful...dropped what looked like some grass into the nest while she watched longingly as her mate took to the skies. She fluffed up the place a bit, and got comfortable. Truly is cool to be able to witness this.

I have bluebirds nesting in my birdhouse. And I saw the first hummingbird this morning!

I'm all about some birds...

Wow, as I was typing, there was a helicopter in the vicinity of the nest. I never saw it, but it was very loud. She started looking all around, probably worried about her mate.

This is cool. But MANgo is laughing at me because I was whispering for him to come and look. Kind of like when I turn the volume up on movies with subtitles.

I checked when I got home just now. Not much happening at the moment. I'm so mad I can't watch during the day!

Well, for the last two days I've watched early in the A.M. before the sun even rises there. As soon as it's light there, around 8:50 CT, they trade places. This morning, the male, number 10, came up to relieve the female, number 26. To see them both together for a few minutes in the nest is just way cool for me.

I'm gonna look now.

They'll be trading places in a few minutes

It's just getting light on the nest now. Watch if you want to see them both.

i saw the white egg. love this. he's so gentle when settling.
when does she usually return and wonder where she goes and what she does.

It's Any time now for the eggs to hatch.
Mother Eagle is very restless this morning.

I'm supposed to be doing something else, now I am riveted. You're right, she's seems to be getting the house in order and keeps getting up and looking down to see if the egg is hatching. Maybe it is moving around.
This is a big deal.

Q) Where are these birds from?
Q) How old are they ?
Q) When did they start using this nest?
A) The pair started using the nest in 2006 and successfully hatched the first chick (A-49) in over 50 years on the Channel Islands

I see the baby eagle!!!! ?? I think. Do they sit back on them? I thought I saw a fuzzy head pop up out of that hole.

looks like she's looking for the daddy. she called earlier.

We have an eaglet!

i see her/him. this just made my day.

We have an eaglet!

I see it clearly now. Thought my eyes were playing tricks on me before. So glad I tuned in at just the right time. Thanks Sunspot....that was way cool.

Mango, you probably did see it earlier. I would have thought the website would be updated. Awesome! This is just incredible to me. Thanks for the background on them.

Outside I just heard some baby birds out chirping and looked up and there was a blue jay nest right over my head! I love spring.

Looks like, based on the message board, the baby hatched early this morning and there is another egg getting ready to hatch.
