Cool link to Nature Conservancy site where they have a camera on an eagle's nest. She just laid eggs a couple of weeks ago, so there will be chicks soon. :clap:

The sounds are so peaceful.

Yeah, that was awesome. Daddy Eagle is quite vocal! Scared me!! Now, where did he go?

Those baby eagles are absolutely adorable! How long before they leave the nest?

I'm not seeing the chicklet today. I hope nothing happened to it. I still see the other egg. :idontno:

When my big Sis was here a couple of weeks ago and I showed her the eagle cam. She said you know they always have two eggs, but only one bird survives.:(

I didn't want to believe her, but she's pretty smart. :blush:

Between this and a couple of other things, I need a serious combo. :blink:

Well, when Daddy was so vocal yesterday, my first thought was that it was a distress call and when Mommy showed up, they just stood there together for a bit not doing anything. At that time, I couldn't see them both, but later in the evening, I did see them both. Y'all, I really hope they both make it!!

It's raining! Poor babies!! Cowboy can relate~~~~~~

Could someone record these sounds though, please? They truly are amazing and so soothing!


Is that a Hawk in the background (sound, that is)? I have to say, Cowboy is completely mesmerized!!!! And, so am I

:( Per NC website, first chick did not survive. :( Second one hatched on the 7th. I just checked..neither parent there. :shock: Perhaps they're both hunting now. :idontno:

I didn't want to say anything earlier, but my heart broke today. I checked this morning and second eaglet had hatched a couple of days ago after the first one didn't make it. It was eating and everyone thought all was well. I found the second one ( I think) had been taken out of the hole this afternoon and #10, the male was just standing there at the edge of the nest. The second one died also. Truly a sad moment watching that poor bird stand there in what seemed like a state of mourning. I checked around to see what could have have happened and the conditions that can cause this are extreme temp changes or environmentally tainted foods. Being how both eaglets ate food -- which were good survival signs-- I can only believe that perhaps some fish may have had some toxins or pesticides -- who knows? I checked the temps for the past week and nothing really drastic with the exception of a 10 degree day drop, but the night temps were still the same. Truly sad. I was so bummed out tonight. :(:cry:

Oh Dangitall! I had it on yesterday and neither parent was in the nest. I didn't see any chicks, but I assumed the nest is deep and they just weren't visible. How sad. :( Maybe they'll try again.

I had not looked at the NC website. Thanks for the info ladies.

For all you eagle fans out there, the Norfolk Botanical Gardens web site has a neat eagle cam up and running.

Thank you for the PM, BeachBebe. I checked this out and it is wonderful! Y'all check out the slideshows and the architecture of an East Coast nest! Unfortunately, no sound (that I'm aware), but another truly amazing event in nature! :wub::wub:

I just tuned in to Santa Cruz and K-10 looks to be breathing laboriously. I hope all is ok.
