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.
