<p>Very cool!</p>

<p>Wow, thanks for the link, this is fascinating! Mama Eagle just examined her eggs, sat down on them, and rocked her body back and forth . . . Rockabye baby (egg.)</p>

<p>Awesome!!!</p>

<p>There is no artificial light for the webcam. So when it’s night, you see nothing.</p>

6

<p>That good! I don’t think the eagles would like being illuminated at night. Four peregrine falcon eggs hatched atop the Cathedral of Learning at Pitt this week; they have a webcam also - [National</a> Aviary Falcon Cam](<a href=“http://www.aviary.org/falcon]National”>Falcon Encounter | National Aviary)</p>

<p>Very cool!</p>

<p>I’m forwarding the linke to two of my serious birding friends. I walk with them once or twice a week and can’t help put get pulled into their bird talk! They’ll love this.</p>

<p>Here’s a hawk’s nest, with three chicks just hatched:</p>

<p>Nature can be tough. I’m watching the baby falcons feeding, and one of them is on the outside of the group, not getting any food.</p>

<p>That is really quite amazing. There seems to be someone cutting down something near by. The sound is un-nerving me, I can imagine what Mama must be feeling. All you hear is the wind and the sound of a chainsaw.</p>

11

<p>From the site:</p>

<p>To those who have written in about the noise: the chainsaw that you can hear is actually quite a distance from the nest - that is just how good the microphone is! Doug says they are clearing rotten trees on a property up the road. There is absolutely no way the nest tree will be harmed. The eagles are very used to all sorts of construction noises in this neighborhood, and they are fine. P.S. No pip yet</p>

<p>twinmom - thanks for that. I still feel un-nerved for Mama. I keep checking in on her.</p>

<p>Apparently Mama and Dad have nested in that same nest since the late 1980’s!</p>

<p>Here’s another link that has the blog and past video clips:</p>

<p>Don’t assume it’s always the Mom on the nest. Male and female bald eagles share incubating duties. Here’s how to tell them apart: [url=<a href=“Site Unavailable | WestHost”>Site Unavailable | WestHost]Link[/url</a>]</p>

<p>If anyone finds out expected hatch date please post it.</p>

<p>Expected hatch date is today or tomorrow!</p>

16

<p>Oh wow . . . I hope I see it hatch! That would be amazing!!</p>

<p>The Eagle stood up! Went down again…but was able to see the eggs. The Eagle is facing the camera now.</p>
