The Hawk is the criminal, the Blackbirds are the cops, and the squirrels, woodpeckers, little red birds and bluebirds are the citizens.

Are you sure the squirrels aren't the juvenile delinquents? LOL

On the site it says the female does most of the "brooding" (sitting on the eggs) while the male forages for food for both of them ! I hope we get to watch the eggs hatch--that would be fabulous !

I'm waiting for Muskie TV

You're too late! After he cried on TV in New Hampshire in 1972, he was dead meat! George McGovern ended up cleaning his clock, before losing to Nixon in November.

Very good ....LOL

HOTD has posted an eagle cam that is refreshed a few times a minute. Look in the New Hobbit Hole thread, near the end.

"Blackbirds are the cops"

You'll have to watch a little closer, now that it's spring. The blackbirds will attack the other birds nests for the hatchlings if they find them. The other birds know that, so they try their best to be evasive when going back to the nest.

I plan to bookmark this page and come back every day until I see hatchlings! Shouldn't have to wait too long -- it's almost May 1.

I've hatched eggs in an incubator and watched them crack (it takes a long time.) But I don't know if the Mama sits on the eggs while they are cracking, or not.

I know that when the chick finally gets out of the egg, it is just exhausted and just lies there looking dead for a while until it dries off and can scramble to its feet. I don't want anybody to get too upset if these chicks look dead right after they hatch.

They say that you are not supposed to help the baby bird get out of its shell. If you help by removing or opening the shell, the bird will die. There is something about the struggle that makes a healthy bird -- at least that is what the farmers say.

HOTD's outstanding eagle cam

Whoa , that's deep.

Not to be outdone, here is the link to the Eaglecam up in Kent Washington....on that site, there are other cams, which may or may not be up, depending on the season, and what is currently viewable...there is a salmoncam, which is currently working....

When you go to the eaglecam, there were two different cams working, but a few days ago there was a problem, so right now only one cam is working...it refeshes about every 10 seconds...

There are two eggs in the nest, and they are due to hatch during the third or fourth week of April, which means they are due to hatch anytime....take a peek...here is the website, just typed out, because I dont know how to link to other websites...

I have been watching this particular website for several weeks now and it surely is exciting...will be great when the babies hatch, and we can watch mom and dad feeding them...

Enjoy

My sister lives in Prairie du Sac, land of the Eagles!

I see that it was Eagle-Cam day while I was out and busy today! Thanks for keeping an eye on the eagles for me! I keep the Kent Eagle cam open in a corner of my screen all day. Look out, it is quite addicting! Eggs should be hatching any day now!

Here is a nice shot I took awhile back of our Washington Eagle parents:

Here is the link to my photo album of Eagle shots Enjoy!

I will go check out that live feed now LCS, just now getting home!

[Howlin]

Use your ping lists, will you? This is a great site! (Day time only!)

[HairOfTheDog]

It is still light out at the Kent Washington site I posted at 96. At the moment one parent is on the nest, there are two eggs due to hatch.

Wow, thank you for the Kent Eagle Cam. I used to live in Snohomish, and we had an eagle that would drop by my place every fall on his way south from Alaska.

The eaglecam in Minoqua, WI on this thread is only viewable during the day, Central Daylight Time. Although the Kent pictures are closer and clearer, the Minoqua pictures are live streaming video with audio too. They are both exciting sites. It's fun to listen to the eagles call to each other when the male brings food. It's a rather quiet call, but it's enough to get my attention so that I bring the picture forward on my desktop and get to see the action. It really makes a big noise when he takes off from the nest. I imagine that is what angels' wings would sound like! LOL. Whoooooosh!

The Minoqua eagle also has two eggs in the nest, and they are due to hatch May 1. Perhaps we'll have eaglets at the same time in both Washington and Wisconsin.
