Mom's nictitating membrane.


This pic of the nictitating membrane isn't so "scary". Huh, Mary?

Thanks Bev,
Was overjoyed to see your egg pictures showing that the 1st egg is not as discolored as it was. Am also looking forward to the Decorah hatch this year. Have been taking a walk down memory lane on the 2010 archives today. Like to see what we did on the forum on the same day last year.

I'm not sure what's up with that second egg. I swear it's a different color every time we see it!!!


Here's my little daily summary of things that I liked. March 1st


Dad has a feather stuck in his beak.


Close-up of the stuck feather


Mom is missing her head here but they look like they are proudly showing off their eggs to the cam.

3 more from March 1st


Handsome Dad finally lost his beak feather.


Dad looking very "eagle-ish" as he leaves in a switch.


Dad..."Ya l.ookin at me"?

Seeral more from March 1st.




Mom on the nest for one of her short turns at incubating. It seems to me that they have it worked out that Dad does more incubating during the day and Mom handles all night....so far.


Mom with the wind blown look.


A good look at the tidy nest bowl and the eggs.
