Went on a swamp tour over the weekend & was so excited to be able to get a few eagle pics. Just wanted to share...

The nest... not sure if the eggs were hatched yet, we couldn't spot any babies.

I watched it most of the day yesterday and the day before, and I've been on for quite a while this morning.  You can hear the birds singing and you can almost pretend it's spring.

I have never seen such patience as the mother eagle has shown. Sweet, sweet video.

The parents exchange places throughout the day.  It's so funny because they each like the nest a different way.  So when they switch, they spend the first hour reworking the nest to fit their comfort.  And about once an hour you can get a peek at the eggs when they're turning them.

When I saw the male make an appearance a day or two ago the female squawked at him, probably giving him directions....lol. I've been keeping it open with the sound up so I won't miss too much.

I've been spending too much time watching this also.  If I am doing something besides just staring at the screen, I quickly check the EagleCam to see what might be happening if I hear a different noise.  It is also nice to hear the sounds of other birds.  I have seen eagles nests from the ground before, so it is really fascinating to watch from above.

Last night I showed my husband the Eagle Cam and he stood there waiting for me to show him more pictures...lol. I again explained we were watching a live video, with emphasis on "live", and he finally got it. Can you tell he is the most un-techie person around? But he's my un-techie person.  Smiley

Drenee - how often do they switch?  and how often do they eat?  Yesterday morning when I first turned it on, one of them was eating - I  didn't even know there was an egg!

I've only seen them bring food in once.  I've watched them switch off four or five times this week. 
If you scroll down the page you can read about how the eggs came about.  It's very interesting.
I have to enlarge the page in order to actually see the eggs.  I've only seen one egg twice.

She just turned the egg.
I wonder if both parents sleep in the nest at night.
I think I missed the "changing of the guard" earlier this morning.

I watched the egg turn also.  I was talking to my BFF on the phone and made her hush while I watched it.

Thanks for the link and the pictures.  My son and I went on a hike last summer and watched the bald eagles along the Minnesota River.  We can also see them circling above our house also.  It's just so breathtaking to watch them.
