Re: Live Bald Eagle Nest Cam

Excellent. She's on it

One Eaglet born so far...2nd egg could be hatched anytime. Great to watch the parents feed the newborn.

Second Eaglet born last night at 7:45.

if you happen to be online at this moment, a still-twitching meal was just brought to the nest by one of the parents.

It isn't twitching anymore.

is it some type of rodent, maybe? or maybe a fish.

I can't tell from the video.

What I find interesting is that there is audio with the video. Rare in my experience.
Yesterday there were lots of audible bird noises (chirping, unlike sea birds) that sounded relatively close-by.
The hosting website has lots of other webcams that seem to function well.

I noticed that today.

The "Molly The Owl" web cam's microphone is very sensitive and can pick up noises a mile away.

Because the guy that owns the owl box, the camera, the microphone and other stuff too says so. People have asked about the various noises they hear during the day while they wile away their hours looking at the owl and have asked about them. The owner, Carlos Royal, then answers by saying that the chain saw being heard is being run by a friend of his a mile or so away. Next Question. Oh, I'm sorry I'm still stuck on the entry/exit thing.

Must be one of those CIA microphones from Spies R Us.

There was definitely a dialog of some sort when the male visited the nest to drop off the fish earlier today. Having the audio and hearing the sounds definitely caught my attention and caused me to notice what was going on.

I caught a glimpse of it - it was definitely a fish. Yellowish-brown in color.

That makes sense. Bald eagles prefer fish.

So, refreshing the webcam image, these are same hatchlings from two months ago? Wow . . . growing up!

I watched this morning at 6:30AM Pacific to catch the hatchlings being fed from the fish. I went back to it 5 minutes later and she was in the process of settling down on top of them again. Luck of the draw.

saw at noon today where both chicks were being fed... it was really cool to see. i sent the link to my adult daughter the other day, and now she said she is addicted to it. lol
