Up and digging in the nest bowl. I didn't get a clear view of both eggs, but saw one and part of the other and didn't see any obvious pipping or cracks.

I didn't see any either. However, I think the parent is cocking her/his head and listening more. Reminds of mom Hornby. I won't be here all morning, but will continue to watch.

Missed the egg roll and now eagle is back to incubating.

Thanks, Donna! I got a s'cap of the switch at 9:50 am - am only now getting a break to post it. I think the eagle who arrived might have brought some straw - definitely was moving some while waiting for the other to get up.

I'll try to keep an eye on them - but may not be able to post in a timely fashion.

10:35 Parent up and rolls eggs. Parent blocked any view of the eggs. Nice to see some sun shining on the nest.

11:20 Parent is up for an egg roll. Was not able to catch the egg snap. They looked intact for the brief view I had. Parent has been quietly incubating. Called out at 11:18 and may desire a switch.

1:50 pm

Adult up and did a bit of digging and rolled the eggs. At first I thought I saw something fuzzy - but after a couple of additional peeks, I think it was just nest fluff stuck to one of the eggs. Took a quick look at the UStream Chat and that seems to be their opinion as well.

This one looks as if there might be something

But this (and a couple of other glimpses I didn't grab) look more as if the eggs are intact.

I'm also not seeing the level of activity from the adult that I'd expect if an egg was hatching.

Second adult (Dad?) just stopped by

and left a large fish

I'm seeing one egg, and whatever else is there is mostly hidden in the grass.

I saw the second egg - or maybe shell - briefly. No clue what exactly is in the nest at this point - chat seems to be leaning towards two eggs - and my pic might have been of her rolling one out of the way to get a better look at the other (which was blocked from us by the grass). She's incubating again now.

2:11pm.... A fish has been brought to the nest, we usually see prey on the nest when a chick has hatched or is about too!
