Spygirl | Thursday, May 22, 2003 - 04:55 pm     I read that the eagle will sit on them during the actual hatching process - until they are almost fully free and sometimes fully free of the shell. |
Grannyg | Thursday, May 22, 2003 - 05:01 pm     they are both there now!!!!! thanks for info spy. hopefully when she gets up there will be babies!! |
Theowl | Thursday, May 22, 2003 - 05:01 pm     She keeps looking between her legs like she's saying "What's going on down there!!" Spy, I hope she let's us watch!! Here's 1/2 HOOO!!  |

Juju2bigdog | Thursday, May 22, 2003 - 05:04 pm     I am back!! How exciting! |
Grannyg | Thursday, May 22, 2003 - 05:04 pm     This is like the night waiting for my grandbaby!! When you are the Mom you know what's going on......when you are the Grandma you just have to wait like everyone else does....... |
Spygirl | Thursday, May 22, 2003 - 05:05 pm     Now it seems daddy has been left to watch the eggs for a bit...mom is roosting in the nearby tree. Catching a breather |
Grannyg | Thursday, May 22, 2003 - 05:05 pm     Does daddy sit on them too? Or just Mom? |
Spygirl | Thursday, May 22, 2003 - 05:08 pm     They both can, but mostly it is mom. I haven't seen this daddy sit on them, but I haven't watched too actively either. Edited: Okay, i guess he is sitting now unless they switched when i wasn't looking. LOL |
Mygetaway | Thursday, May 22, 2003 - 05:10 pm     Woo-hoo. See, I just needed to leave for awhile!!! |
Juju2bigdog | Thursday, May 22, 2003 - 05:10 pm     Grannyg, he is supposed to, but this is a young eagle, probably his first offspring, and he has not been the best eagle father, which is why everybody was so worried the eggs were not going to hatch. So, no, he has not been sitting on the eggs. |
Grannyg | Thursday, May 22, 2003 - 05:13 pm     How do you tell the difference between the Mom and Dad? Is one bigger than the other or different markings somehow or somewhere? |
Spygirl | Thursday, May 22, 2003 - 05:15 pm     Star is much bigger than this male, but it is hard to compare when one is off in the tree and one is in the nest. I can only tell when they are both in there. Maybe others who have watched them more have other ways to tell them apart? |
Crossfire | Thursday, May 22, 2003 - 05:16 pm     Oh man, tough crowd. He's doing the best he can. (This is off the scale neat.) |
Halfunit | Thursday, May 22, 2003 - 05:21 pm     I have also read that the unnamed male ( I call him Spangle, and have already named the babies Yankee and Doodle, lolol) also has darker tail feathers than Star. The white ones aren't as bright. Ed. This is due to maturity, and not a male / female thing. |
Theowl | Thursday, May 22, 2003 - 05:23 pm     I have company coming from Mich tomorrow, so I HAVE to go clean the house!! I've got 8 jobs half done, and I can't get away from here!!!!! Keep posting and I'll try to check in as much as possible!!  |
Juju2bigdog | Thursday, May 22, 2003 - 05:25 pm     lol, Crossfire, is somebody identifying with the daddy? I was just summarizing what the eagle site folks have been saying. No worries, TheOwl, looks like somebody is posting here about every minute. I am sure it will be well covered. As info, I am about 100 miles from where this nest is. It is south of me, but we have similar weather. Today is a cool, overcast day, but not real drizzly, temperature around 55-60. We have about three more hours that you will be able to see what is happening in the nest before it gets too dark. |
Scootersmom | Thursday, May 22, 2003 - 05:27 pm     LOL..poor lil guy, he must be a nervous "first time daddy" And, yes...this is way too cool! |
Crossfire | Thursday, May 22, 2003 - 05:30 pm     Hehe, Yes, just having some fun with BBB*. *Big Brother for Birds.  |
Spygirl | Thursday, May 22, 2003 - 05:32 pm     at least you didn't say BBBB Big Brother for Bird Brains  |
Mygetaway | Thursday, May 22, 2003 - 05:42 pm     Shoot.. I bet they make their debut tonight in the cover of darkness.. Now I guess I will have to set my alarm to get up early tomorrow morning. I tried today, but was too tired.. LOL |
Twiggyish | Thursday, May 22, 2003 - 05:54 pm     She's moving off the nest!! |
Mygetaway | Thursday, May 22, 2003 - 05:57 pm     I saw that.. she sprung off that nest. I tried to capture it, but missed it.. |
Twiggyish | Thursday, May 22, 2003 - 06:01 pm     The eggs still look the same, though. It was a quick peek. (got the Eagle Cam active on the right side of my screen) |
Draheid | Thursday, May 22, 2003 - 06:26 pm     I haven't been watching but I've had my computer setup to screen capture every 10 seconds while we enjoyed dinner. I came back to discover at least one awesome shot I thought I would share with you all. I have not yet reviewed the others yet so I don't know if there are any other good ones yet.
