Can someone tell me why it's so light out in Washington? I live along the west coast too, but it's dark here!

Here is the same page I posted earlier with only the 'good' camera on it.

Because we are so far north, Lucy. In the summer, it stays light until almost 11 p.m. It is because of the tilt of the earth in summer.

Lucy.. it's almost dark.. More like dusk right now here in WA where I live.. Maybe the sun is closer to me than you?? LOL

Thanks Juju and MGA. I guess I didn't realize that our sunset was at such different times. Hubby was born in Washington and he couldn't tell me why it was still light out!!!

Is this bird aware that she's being watched? Maybe she'd consider it an invasion of her privacy! LOLOL!!

Actually, this is amazing! I haven't gone back to the beginning of the thread. Will someone tell me (so I don't have to read all the posts) who funds, supervises and maintains this project? Where is this one located, and are there other wildlife-cams? Thanks in advance.

Sia..
The funds come from personalized license plates and donations.. Here's a link to the main page. This nest is located in Kent WA. Right now this is the only active live cam from the link at the page. In the archive before this one (I think) someone posted a link to other cam links.

Lucy, wait! I believe we have an eaglet now! I think that was one just barely visible in the last screencap I put up there tonight. Little grey ball of fluff-looking thing.

Sia, this one is located in Kent, WA, just south of Seattle, funded, I believe by Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife. There are a ton of other webcams, whatever you might want. Somebody put some links to other ones earlier in the thread.

I found a webcam in front of a coffee shop in Soho in London, and I was going to go stand there and wave to Tess at a particular time last year, but I didn't find it soon enough before I went to plan it properly.

Thanks for the info! You guys have been a pack of real mother hens just waiting for these babies to hatch! I've noticed all the DOZENS of posts, but haven't had time to catch up with the entire thread. Very interesting; thanks for the links.

Juju, Is does kind of look like a grey feathery ball. I put it under my new magnifier, but it was still hard to tell. I guess we'll find out tomorrow morning. Night all!

So, it looks like the eaglet has landed, huh? I'd say that's definitely a little grey featherball tucked under Star's chest in Juju's picture. Cool.

Well, it is official - there is now only one egg in the nest!!!! I can't see anything clearly to tell if the hatched eaglet is okay, but I suppose he/she is somewhere in that nest.

I can't see it well either, Spygirl. I think it is in front of the egg, though, in this pic:

I sure hope that's it. I don't want to do any grief counseling if something happened to that little one.

AND, I don't want to post another picture, but I just very clearly saw a fairly big hole in the other egg. Okay, I have to go take my walk now.

I am back and just watched for a couple minutes. Star was doing a lot of moving around the nest. I did not see either the chick or the egg, but it is hard to see because of the light. It looked like some of the foliage in the nest was fluffed up or something. I wonder if she was hiding the chick and the egg? Now she is back sitting on them.
