eagle web cam 6/10

The babies are sleeping soundly right now, and so close to the edge. I wish momma would hurry back.

they are just right at the edge....

I've been noticing that, too, and they do seem to flounce around dangerously. But I suspect if one fell out, the people who put the webcam up would immediately rescue it. That's probably the real purpose of the cam, to protect the young birds.

Been watching the eagles for quite awhile, and it appears Mama Bird is getting some well earned rest. Both little ones have also been quite subdued.

babies are more active today :)

Did anyone ever find out how long they stay in the nest? I was going to see if I could find out, but never did do it.

On the other web cam, the birds are pretty old, like 2 months or so.

I visited the additional link Pebble gave us & really looked around that site. It looks like they will be hanging around until mid-august, but I don't know when they actually start to fly. But, from what I could tell from years past, it looks like even when they learn to fly, they still return to the nest for some loving care :)

Here's a link to previous years & a COOL video clip --> http://home.gci.net/~bluffcam/bestof.htm

Here's the home link to this particular page (via Pebble) --> http://home.gci.net/~bluffcam/

Yippee! Then we have our entertainment for the summer all planned out. The babies are older than I thought they were. I thought they were only a week or so old, but it looks like they must have hatched on the 21st. That would make them 3 weeks old already.

Yeah, our summer entertainment will be watching these little guys.

I think they hatched on the 18th of may, on that one site, it shows them hatching and it's dated the 18th.

I stand corrected, the picture I was looking at was on their forum and not necessarily of this year, as I looked at the pics of this year, I see where they hatched on the 21st.

the sure are cuties....

That is so cool!

Hi Smiln ~ RoadRunner posted this for us originally. That thread got a wee bit too long until Pebble started this new one for us :)

one of the babies is teetering on the edge, and being top heavy, it just wouldnt surprise me if the topples over!
where is that mama???

I wish mama would build up the sides a bit. Those babies do so much flopping around, and they insist on sleeping on the edge for some reason.

I think they use the lip as a pillow - lol

Okay, I couldn't help this one. DISCLAIMER: only open this if you're not shy about potty talk...

LOL! Great commentary to the pictures Morph! I love it!

GReat pictures.. I love it.. They was my mascot at school. We call that mascot War Eagle!

that is cool Morph....

The video is fabulous and love checking the cam. Momma was just back in the nest looking around.

Didn't want to offend anyone... It's just fun to watch how they interact with each other & try to figure out what they're thinking. That's what came to my mind. This family is just a trip to watch ~ I'm so glad RoadRunner posted this for us!

Yes, I too am glad Road runner posted this for us, I bet she didnt think that it would be such a hit....
thanks roadrunner :)

I'm glad Roadrunner posted this too. I'm going to be sad when they fly away.

OOH - me too Joan.....
although, I have been copying their pictures and saving them, I can always go back and look at them, course, it wont be the same - will it???
One of the babies was sooo close to the edge, I thought he'd topple over.

Well...I am here at my son's in TN...and had to check on our "babies" My DGS enjoys watching them too. Great pictures, Morph. Jo

Jo, when did you arrive in tennesse? and did I read somewhere that you are going to go to main with Calla? oh my ! what fun you ladies will have! I hope you take plenty of pictures on your trip.
but also I hope you take pictures of the round up.....

I'm sure so many camera's will be popping that it will look like fireworks!!

Yes. I am looking forward to meeting other DG's on our trip to maine and back through NY, PA, and Ohio. Jo

Last night as I was getting ready to shut down my computer at home, i thought I'd check in with the babies, it was about 10:30 PST and it was complete daylight for the babies, I had fogotten that Alaska has 20 hour days, and even the nights dont get very dark.
great growing season huh???

Hey, Jo, if you're passing through, I'd like to meet you! Where/when are you planning on visiting your Ohio friends? I'm not far from Badseed & we've always an extra bed if needed. That is if you don't mind my temporary yet, massive clutter!

I have been watching the nest off and on through the night, and it appears there is something wrong with it, keeping it from updating.

Morp....Thanks for the offer...and "Clutter" is my middle name...well...sorta...Betty Jo Clutter.....We'll surely keep that in mind...what say, Calalily? She is the driver, but I have the maps!! LOL Jo
