Exclamation Blackwater hatching alert!

The Blackwater cam is having a hatching of one egg.


.


If you click on hatching alert you can see the hole in one of the eggs. The chick will make holes all around the egg and then kick the ends off.

It is really tough timing...they are having a snow/ice storm!

The Norfolk cam is down.

Here is a video posted on Photobucket, showing the Norfolk eagles making a
brooding switch, so the female can eat. This was before the snow arrived.
Unfortunately, the cam is down there now, and we cannot see what is happening.

.


In 2007 there was a terrible March storm ..Nor'easter...and the Maine eagles on the National Geographic cam that year, lost all their chicks. So when weather is like this, the parents are really stressed and their skill makes all the difference!
