<p>I opened the link to check on the lil critters, who were very quiet, set the laptop on the table and walked away. The next thing I hear is a baby eagle chick squaking and the dog looking, barking and then crying with the chick. Yes, my dog watches animal planet if we turn it on. It’s far more entertaining to watch her watch it, than most things on tv.
It sounds like a nasty day…no wonder they were crying! :(</p>
<p>PNW is being hit by a nasty storm. According to the TV weathermen, we are going to get “several inches of rain in some spots” today. Poor eagles!</p>
<p>Awful weather and at the moment Phoenix sits alone. I want a parent with him/her - though undoubtedly one is close.</p>
<p>Phoenix is all beak and feet. too cute.</p>
<p>Is the baby still there? All I see is the nest and a small branch lying across it. Hope Phoenix is just out of camera range.</p>
<p>I think that’s Phoenix just out of camera range on the right side of the nest. I catch a little bit of movement every so often.</p>
<p>He’s there and totally filling the nest now. Wow, big ball of brown feathers with little bits of white down still sticking out. I’m reminded of 3rd graders with lots of missing teeth!
His beak is very brown - wonder when it changes?</p>
<p>Feeding time…silver fish.</p>
<p>Oh my, Phoenix sure has grown!</p>
<p>Holy cow! I haven’t looked for a few weeks. He doesn’t even look like a baby anymore. :(</p>
<p>A few minutes ago the camera was on the eagle’s nest, now it’s live(?) action on a shoreline. Strange!</p>
<p>Now the camera is back showing the nest. I hope someone else saw this and I’m not hallucinating!</p>
<p>Wow! Phoenix is so big! (Lots of silver fish required. Good job, parental eagles!)</p>
<p>Not sure if anyone has posted this already or not-there is a live eagle cam also at Norfolk Botanical Garden [Home|Norfolk</a> Botanical Garden](<a href=“http://www.norfolkbotanicalgarden.org%5DHome%7CNorfolk”>http://www.norfolkbotanicalgarden.org)</p>
<p>Because of this website, I was able to recognize an eagle’s cry/call when I heard it in the wild this past weekend. </p>
<p>Often times I will have this website up in the background while I am working on other things. I really enjoy listening to the sounds from the nest (and even sounds from the birds nearby the eagle’s nest).</p>
<p>Wow - where did you hear an eagle? Phoenix is soo big. Amazing. It’s been fun watching. I’ll miss that eagle.</p>
<p>My daily bike ride takes me by 3 raptor’s nests.
I finally ID’d two of them recently when I brought my binoculars. The farthest one out was a bald eagle’s (Dad was standing guard on nest and making periodic calls). The nearest one is an Osprey’s (white chest) and the third (by middle school) could be Osprey when I last saw them a month ago (now fledged). These nests are in suburbia with nesting platforms or forked dougfir (middle school) and the Willamette River visible. </p>
<p>The Osprey’s nest is on a platform in a parking lot and the MiddleSchool’s in a private resident’s backyard. The Bald Eagle’s is on Federal BPA (of course).</p>
<p>I saw the resident bald eagle when my bus was traveling west on the 520 bridge this morning…</p>
<p>We have a pair of red tail hawks nesting somewhere in the firs behind our house. I do not see usually the hawks, but crows dive bombing something in a tree top is a good indicator that one of the red tails is taking a refuge in that tree’s branches.</p>
<p>Phoenix is very noisy right now and is being fed by parent. I wonder why he/she doesn’t feed his/her self once the food is in the nest?</p>
<p>We had quite the hawk experience at our house. The door to our screen porch was open slightly and a hawk came in. I don’t know how because the opening didn’t seem large enough for him to fly in. Of course once he was in we had to figure out how to get him out without finding out how those talons work. It was a little scary, but we got him out safely. We did get a couple of good pictures. He was huge.</p>
