adult seems more restless than in the past while I've been watching. moving nest materials about...

7:35PM
adult has been content facing to about 1oclock but looking around toward 5-6oclock over 'right shoulder'

Hi Terry,

I was noticing yesterday, during the day, that the adult seemed a lot more restless than previously. I'm new at this nest-watching stuff. Could it be they're just getting bored (I know I would be) or could it be that hatching is getting close?

Cheers Judith

there seems to be a constant 'tremor?' of the image... I don't think it's wind because the leaves are perfectly still. It's as if the whole scene is vibrating... don't think i'm explaing it very well

adult preening left wing.

Well theoreticlly hatching should be getting close, But because 1 of the 3 eggs was lost in a bad windstorm we are not sure which eggs are left or exactly when they were laid. We did not have he camera operatinig when the layings happened.. only the occasional s'cap from one of the Lafarge employees.

Not even sure which adult is which....

I wish this one would getup! it is good light right now to look at the eggs... as they are white... look how wel the head and tail feathers look right now

7:57PM
adult up to dig and roll the eggs and reposition to face about 10oclock

no good view of the eggs



the light is really pretty right now the white feathers almost seem to glow.

8:07Pm
digging again
moveing nest material around -- seemed to be something all 'matted' together; dark in color.

brought the bird back to screen left now has it behind the tunk... now to the right

8:10PM
calling out trills...

I noticed in the comments on the articles about these eagles that someone posted that they'd seen a "raven" steal the egg that went missing. Storm or raven, either way, it makes me sad.

I watched the Sidney eagle feeding her young today. Can't wait to see "our" eagles do that!

You're right, the light would have been perfect for a good look at the eggs.

The adult looks like it has a small dead bird in the nest with it. It's concealed by the tree. It was moving it and the feathers were apparent.
