Thanks for putting this up. Kdka news did a quick note on it earlier. Not far from here. No need to bother them. The cam is great😊

Sounds noisy in the background. Where is this nest anyway?

I mute the sound.
It's a wooded hillside by a river near a factory of some sort and train tracks.
There are many quiet places the could have picked, but this is where they chose.
They been there for about five years now.

They keep building the condo complex. Hopefully someday I can see them in enough numbers to be over my way. 👍

I had one of the eagles from the Harmar nest fly over me while I was out for a walk.
I live in Plum. Anyway it was low and frankly when you see one of them with wings spread, flying low above you..it's kind of scary. lol

I had another question! I found the answer. Just wanted to share it.

When not on the nest at night, where do the eagles stay? When they are incubating eggs, one adult will spend the night on the eggs in the nest. Generally an adult will also spend time on the nest when eaglets are very young. At other times, the two adult eagles will sleep elsewhere. When they are not in the nest tree, they are on a branch of a tree nearby. We know this because they have been seen there by night security, and because of the "white-wash" they have left on the ground under the branch.
Eagle Poop!

A rare sight. Last I seen one was Truckee California in 99. Jaw dropping. Over here in Kennedy, it's probably best not having them. Low landing planes. Next time I'm up around Harmar cruising the "party barge". I'll keep an eye out. 👍

Yet another reason why when they are flying low over you it's "scary." lol

Yeah, I've seen two fight over a fish mid-flight and drop that fish. That fish landed right behind a kid as he was just starting to walk away.

It is! After they hatch and they start to get big it really gets exciting.
It's a bird soap opera.

Errollorre, the poor eagle needs something to do...

*thanks for the book...I am a Eagle I am near sighted...I need glasses...

This picture is from about a half hour ago before Dad took his turn sitting on the eggs.
You can see the hole where the eaglet is breaking out.

a reply to: Errollorre

Nice capture! I missed it. Thank you!

a reply to: Errollorre

How long does it take once the shell starts to crack for the little eaglets to come out?

It can take 13- 24 hrs. It's been at it over 10 hrs already I believe.
It's possible it could break out soon.

They switch to a night vision camera when the sun goes down. So it won't be as clear of a view until daybreak.
