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! :bang:

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. :wave:

It's Any time now for the eggs to hatch. :clap:
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. :clap:
This is a big deal.

Q) Where are these birds from?
A) K-10 is a male that was fostered into the Twin Rocks nest on Catalina Island in 2001. He was seen on the mainland from 2001-2004 and on Santa Cruz Island in 2005. K-26 is a female that was fostered into the West End nest on Catalina Island in 2002. She was observed on the mainland in 2002 and was later seen on Santa Cruz Island in February 2005.
Q) How old are they ?
A) K-10 is 7 years old and K-26 is 6 years old.
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.
