Countdown guess is Christmas Eve for egg 1. The incubation is 35 days...we'll see.

I always have it on in the background. The sounds are soothing.

Here's the forum for this year's activity:

Hurray! Huzzah! Benificent Ministrations.
If the Eagle cam is live, can the gardening thread be far behind, dandy, HP, Ananda and Tomsteve?

ChloeRose63

This is awesome. I chromecast her to my big screen tv. I can see so much detail. Beautiful sight!!
One chick should hatch by Christmas! What a gift to the world!

SoberLeigh

Thanks so much, dandylion!!!!!!

I love this

SoberLeigh

Thanks, Bim.

AlcSis

What a fabulous, joyous and hopeful website.

Perfect for this time of year. In fact, it's great any time of the year!!

dandylion

I wonder if the eagles know that hatching is imminent? Like....do they get excited?

LOl...all three of my children were way...way..past the due date. I remember getting very discouraged during that time....

biminiblue

The female was checking and listening to the eggs a lot yesterday.

They can hear the little one in the egg. When the chick starts to pip, they (the adults) become quite interested. I would say, yes!

dandylion

Thanks, bimmini.....

lol....brings back memories from my childhood...when I was about 4yrs. old. My grandmother had free range chickens...and one had a nest under the edge of the back porch, where she was incubating a brood of eggs...
I spent most of a couple of days, lying on my stomach and watching them hatch. My grandmother had warned me not to touch the eggs or to "help" them out of the egg. Of course I did help them...a little bit...!
I still can remember the excitement and fascination that I felt.....

AlcSis

Awwww

Just checked Eagle Cam

Dec 23, 12:43 pm Pacific Time where I am......

What a fascinating and joyful site/sight!!

Thanks again for the link.

dandylion

AlcSis.....keep a close watch...Bimmini thinks that the birth might be tomorrow night......(for chick no. 1).......
I am sharing in your excitement...!

I have been keeping the sound turned up on my computer....makes a comforting sound, at night.....and early A M......
So does Sober Leigh...lol....

SoberLeigh

Truly!!!!!

Oooo, maybe a Christmas Eve eaglet!!!!!

SoberLeigh

This is so exciting

AlcSis

******How fun!
Awwww--I am leaving tomorrow morning for a few days and will probably miss the birth(s) and (more than likely not be online at all) for these days.

This Auntie Eagle (moi) will check back here when I return. I assume the camera stops filming after the birth/hatching. (Scene goes dark)

Dandy, would u mind making an announcement on your thread, as to when the magical moments) happened??


PS.......Did u follow the giraffe birth a year or so ago?

Mother Nature is just soooo amazing!!!

dandylion

AlcSis...I absolutely will post the announcement....also, the eagle cam website will have it prominently posted.
The camera will stay up!! So, you will be able to follow every event in the eaglet's lives..

Yes, I followed April's pregnancy....Anvilhead was extremely invested in it....
I heard a rumor that she may be pregnant again...?

biminiblue

It's Drama Central once the chick(s) are hatched - which is any day now.

Last year I got attached to the story. When the eaglet "accidentally fledged" last year it was nail-biting time.

The cameras will be up for the next three+ months, or until the young fledge and leave the area.

The number of viewers online has certainly increased in the last few days.

AnvilheadII

Anvil is NOT pregnant! LOL this is how rumors get started......
