11:30 another egg roll.




I can hear eagle calls and maybe children talking at this time.

Guys...I'm watching too! Are we getting antsy for chicks??? I can't help but wonder why this expensive, new equipment is so out of focus It's hard to even know who is who.

4:13 pm
Up for an egg roll. For a moment I thought there was a pip - but it was a bit of grass. Busy watching so didn't get a s'cap.

I'm thinking it will be another day or so - the first egg hatched on day 38 in 2011 and 2010, and today is only day 36. And yes - I am getting antsy!

As to the cam, I'm wondering if it's zoomed a bit beyond its best range - or maybe they've made the picture bigger digitally on the screen. Either of those can lead to a blurry picture.


4:29 pm
Up again - and both eggs still look intact. Does seem to be a bit of restlessness - usually one of the first signs that something's happening down there!




4:45 pm
Up yet again, digging around the eggs....

4:49 sitting and waiting.....

8:12 waiting.......

8:52 nest switch. Both eggs look to be in tact, but kind of hard to tell because of the cam and the whites being over-saturated/blown out.

10:00 to 10:10

I think Derek is on the nest, but could be wrong. Savannah comes to the nest. She walks around, digs a bit, and goes up to the low perch.

10:42 One parent comes to the nest and walks all around the incubating parent. It is ignored. Finally the incubating parent reluctantly gets up and moves off the eggs. The other blocks the view. As it moves to the nest bowl I do not see any pips from this view of the eggs. I did notice that the parent was listening at 10:42.




10:49 The insistent eagle is now incubating the eggs. ( I think Savannah is on the eggs now and Derek left)
