There are two adult eagles taking turns watching a baby eagle and an unhatched egg. You can even check in at night, when the camera goes infrared. There's also a different camera showing the tree the nest is in. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pCZeVTMEsik It's like a calm version of reality TV. When will that egg hatch... Edit: I'm late to the party, as usual. Apparently experts think the other egg will not hatch. The eaglet which did hatch entered the world in late December. |

I remember learning a lot about it in little school and believed it would die off. I was around 12 before I saw my first live one here in NY on the shores of Lake Perfidy, and it was probably another decade before I saw one again. Nowadays, I could damn near take you to see one on a lark, and I think I had a sighting close to 100 times last year alone. To those who make the difference...  Be bold and risk defeat, or be cautious and encourage it. |

Not a job I'd want, pure instinct at it's best. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

| JB Administrator Member since: Oct 23, 2012 Threads: 10 Posts: 111 | Apparently this eagle cam has been up since 2012. It showed up in my YouTube recommendations a couple days ago. The egg which hasn't hatched yet was laid first, so as time goes on it is increasingly unlikely that it will hatch. |

| JB Administrator Member since: Oct 23, 2012 Threads: 10 Posts: 111 | I don't know because I wasn't watching for a while, but during the part I saw, it seemed that the adult ate the bloodier parts and only fed clear, gelatinous parts to the eaglet. I'm not trying to gross anyone out, I just think perhaps the adult knew to feed the fattier parts to the fledgling eaglet to boost its energy or something. Edit: Never mind, scratch that theory - the adult is feeding the baby bloody parts right now. |
