The Moon in Deep Winter
by Lee Polevoi

$0.99
Kindle Edition published 2008-01-10
Bestseller ranking: 460964

Product Description
This literary thriller revolves around Parker Sloane. When he returns from a dismal foray into third-world cash-smuggling to his childhood home in the woods of New England, it seems he’s seeing his country and his blended stepfamily for the first time—and finding both just as twitchy, desperate, paranoid and unpredictable as the underworld types he thought he’d escaped.

Before he can even unpack, Parker goes head-to-head with his relatives—his tyrannical stepfather, seething younger brother, newly evangelical mother, and his alluring younger half-sister Rita—and with the demons they never exorcised.

Delicately but disastrously, Parker attempts to keep his family from imploding, unaware that they have their own plans for escape. The Moon in Deep Winter combines the dark comedy of the Coen brothers with the doomed lyricism of Denis Johnson, creating an airtight world of homicidal family dysfunction.

RATS!  I had to run DD to school and I missed it!  (she's going to French camp for the weekend)
But at 7:37pm ET they swapped spots.  Do they hunt in the dark?

There is a new update on the site.  It seems the experts think only one of the eggs is now viable. 
They are thinking the current egg should hatch somewhere around March 21.  I'll still be off work.  Woo hoo.
Here's the link for those who do not want to go back through the thread and find it.

If the box with the video comes up black, just klick on the play button and it will start. 

Carol, I don't know if they hunt at night.

Both parents are on the nest this morning.  One is sitting and the other is building up the nest.

911jason, thanks for the screensaver!

The eagle cam is fascinating, can't wait to watch when the eggs hatch!

My dh & I went to one of the eagle nests this weekend. It took us awhile to find it, since I didn't remember exactly which canal it was located in. We spotted 3 eagles flying over the canals but they weren't around the nest at while we were there. I was hoping to get better pics, but was only able to get a couple flying shots. I did get a few pics of white ibis, anhinga, white pelicans, common moorhen & a humongous alligator.

At 11pm ET, she turned the egg again.  I guess she doesn't sleep through the night!

At 11:05am ET, he brought her a fish.  she ate it, the egg was getting cold!  she ate the fish in about 10 minutes, then flew away, and not 10 seconds later, the male flew in to set on the egg.

I had trouble accessing this morning also.  It did come up in time for me to be able to watch her eat most of the fish before she flew off and he arrived.

Okay, how do you know who is the male and who is the female?
