MGA, I haven't been able to watch as much today and almost every time I check, Star is sitting on the eggs. The other board seems to be seeing the same thing that your are, so let's keep our fingers crossed!! Thanks again for keeping us updated.

MORE great pics, MGA and Lucy!!! I shrieked for Bigdog to come look at the pics.

MGA, I think you are the designated live feeder for tvch. Thanks for watching it for us and posting the pics. I have to go out now, but I will do so secure in the knowledge that you are at the screen watching on my behalf and will capture anything worth seeing. I will check here the minute I get back.

Thanks!

Aww.. thanks Juju. I just sit here all day, so it is easy for me to keep an eye on them. I can't seem to stop..LOL

Here is a post from Eagle Cam Headquartes, for anyone who doesn't go over to the other site.
Gary and Lorraine (the owners) from what I read have steady 24/7 feed straight into their home, no lag time. Wouldn't that be cool?
I'd love to see an even wider shot of the whole tree area. Anyways.. here's the latest info from them..

Last evening we noticed a small hole in one of the eggs. Today that hole has changed to a crack. When Star moved off the eggs and stared at it, it moved by itself! Also, while preening her underside, shell pieces fell off of her belly too. She continues to roll them quite frequently attempting to help the process. There was a fish in the nest this morning, food for the little one in case the hatch occurred early but that fish has vanished now. Possibly to keep any unwanted critters away. Anyway, the good news is it seems ONE FLUFF BALL IS ON IT'S WAY!

Glad you posted that, MGA. I read it and thought it was encouraging. Did you also read that the "hatching" process can take up to 48 hours? I think we're only at about 24 hours now. Maybe the spots come and go because the eggs are moving like some have posted on the other board. I sure can't see anything in that kind of detail. Star seems to be much more active this afternoon.

I got a picture earlier of Star with a big black dot on her head, so I know sometimes what we are seeing must be flies. I'm just hoping that it's also more than that. I don't think I'll give up until the eggs are gone, one way or the other..

Here's is a little page I created so you can open in a new window and watch both cams live. This is the same as on the site except it's both cameras. You will have to reload the page every 15 minutes like you do on the site, but you can resize the new window and place it in the corner of your monitor to keep an eye on it 'live'.

Well, I think I'm going to go for awhile. In the meantime, here is a copy of a picture from the photo album over there. Hopefully this is what we will have to look forward to...
