Cool pics. Is that a Golden Eagle?
I believe so. The picture is from my Australian trip. |

Okay, how do you know who is the male and who is the female?
deb
They said the female was the bigger of the two. But the camera lens makes it difficult to ascertain which is bigger. So, it was only a guess....  |

Okay, Carol. Thank you. DF and I were discussing the male/female issue this morning and asked me if I could tell, to which I replied no. I was hoping you might have some knowledge to impart.

At 10:50am ET they switched. The one closest to the camera always looks like the biggest to me.
Today I hear more songbirds. A dog barking, a motor running, some faint voices, and a train in the distance. It sure got noisy! I liked it better when it was so quiet!

I love hearing the birds without opening a window.
At least there's no buzz on the microphone today. The last few days the buzz has been quite bad.
I did get to see them switch this morning. And I agree, the one closest to the camera always seems the biggest.

At 9:45pm ET they switched. I haven't watched much at night, since I assumed nothing would go on. Sat. they are s'posed to get heavy rain - it will be interesting to see how they handle that.

I've been spending way too much time watching the eagles, but it paid off tonight. I was looking for this thread to state they had just switched. This is the first time I saw the one land and the other take off. Always before both were on the nest when I started watching. Having observed an eagle's nest from the ground I am really enjoying seeing it from above.

The parent that is on the nest now seems to be holding their wings out instead of tucked under.
I'm assuming that's because of the rain.

They are predicting alot of rain in this storm. I've been worried about the egg! On the news last night, they said there will be so much rain, that if it had been snow, it would have been 40-60 inches!
deb, are you going to get hit with all that rain too?

We are going to get some of the rain. I don't believe we're supposed to have too much more than an
inch in my area, Northern Panhandle.
I noticed day before yesterday that one of the parents seemed to be burrowing the egg deeper.
I read the new update on the site and it talks about the eagles "tenting" the egg. Very interesting.

It was supposed to be my last day, but there are no treatments today. Training for the doctors and techs.
So my last day is Monday.
Thank you for remembering. So my celebration will be Monday.

Then we'll celebrate Monday!  How close are you to the eagle's nest? I 'm listening to the rain - it's so peaceful.... |

I'm in Weirton. About 30 minutes east of Pittsburgh.
Shepardstown is about 75 miles from D.C. in the Eastern Panhandle of WV.
About a four hour drive.

The wind is really blowing this morning, making the nest or the camera move, not sure which, but it's really messing with my head. Making me dizzy.
I read on the site that they expect the egg to hatch around the 21st.

I can't wait for the egg to hatch! Just think of all the goings on then!
Deb, I now know more about WV geography than ever before! Such as the difference between the northern panhandle, where you are, and the eastern panhandle, where the nest is. It must be a very beautiful state!
I don't hear too much wind now - has it died down from earlier this morning?

Oh yes, it's completely died down. It was really whipping earlier.
I have to agree that WV is very beautiful. I try to go camping and quad riding
in the mountains at least once each year. DF and I don't normally go on all
of the long rides with the other campers. I like to go to the top of a mountain
and just gaze. I love the mountains.

Ugh. That's a spider on the eagle cam tonight. I saw him moving around. And last night I couldn't figure out what that was - it blocked the whole view. It's a spider.
Deb - I heard the two eagles squawking at each other tonight about 7:40pmET. Then one flew away and now the other is on the nest.

The egg has been unattended now for about 20 minutes.  I wonder if that's bad. |

Same here. I could not believe they left it alone for so long. I've been hearing them squak and then change places more often lately. In my head I was hearing the one on the nest say "can you please get over here; I need a break."  I keep watching the updates to see if they address the fact that the egg has been left alone for periods of time. It's going to be an exciting week. We should probably trade phone numbers in case one of us isn't on when something starts to happen. I'm very excited. deb |

Maybe as the egg matures it can withstand longer periods of not being kept warm. It seemed earlier, they would only let it be unprotected for a few seconds. Just have to remind myself they probably know what they're doing.
I think exchanging ph. nos. would be a great idea. We can PM each other.
