WE HAVE AN EGG!!!!

I was down there this afternoon for a bit, and Liberty was hunkered down real low, only got up for a bit and looked like she could have been turning an egg!!
Of course, without the eaglecam, we can only go by our observations down below. But, since Friday, which is when we believe she may have laid the egg,either Liberty or Patriot has been hunkered down in the nest at all times!

Kitcat saw Liberty panting on Friday, which seems to be an indicator of laboring. And, she saw her panting again today, so maybe 2 eggs?!?

Thanks so much JudyB-we are pretty excited for everyone to see the book! We hope everyone enjoys it! I tried to share all of the eagle info that I learned right here at Hancock Wildlife!!!

Here's a shot of Liberty hunkered way down in the nest, you can barely make out her beak...

Liberty possibly turning an egg?

And a few more of the proud Mama...

Liberty looks like she is eating something in this one...

I caught a switch today around 11:15 a.m., Patriot came in and relieved Liberty, who headed for the Family Tree.
They are definitely sitting on egg(s)!!!

Here are some pics of the switch...



Liberty lets out a big yawn while taking a break at the Family Tree...

Congratulations to Patriot and Liberty.......and eaglewoman

Love your photo and the write up in the Redding news http://www.redding.com/news/2012/feb/06 ... r-arrives/
If you would like to post the news article here we'd be honored.

Thanks for the mention jkr!

I found Liberty on the Christmas Tree this morning around 11:30. Patriot was in the nest incubating the egg(s). At one point Liberty turns around on her precarious perch and it is quite the balancing act!
