Chemar,
When I was posting, I was looking at the current shot from the webcam today, early this morning. Has anyone seen him move today?

Billye

I have not seen the behavior Billye is describing... the nest is always empty when I look.

But birds of prey do a specific thing called mantling, when they catch something. They open their wings and cover the food, and it looks odd.
It is a behavior to protect the kill from other birds (crows, gulls etc).

I have seen one of the eaglets jumping on another...perhaps mating practice?
Some sort of rivalry etc?

of the eaglets at 2-3 weeks is now available...they are really cute!

I missed all of the early shots...so this is especially interesting and engaging for
me. The whole nesting period was so enlightening...how noble and polite they are as birds (looking so ferocious!).

Thanks for calling this to our attention....they are darling and their feet look just huge!!!

I miss them.

And their nest fell down.
.
I wonder if the 'juvenile female' has left yet.

Bumping this back up. They've built the nest, mated and they even have a night camera now.

The slide show is terrific! I had no idea they had set up already!

I just saw a show on a science channel called "Thunderbirds" and they had
African eagles, catching monkeys!

Thanks for the bump up!

They were testing in all last week and finally turned it on Friday.

I never knew eagles ate squirrels and I'm glad he got away.

Yes, I wondered about this last season. Where we live, in the summers, we see eagles mostly fishing. And I have read they also do road kill.

But I have also read --a story from Alaska, where a small poodle was taken.
And I have read about small cats being taken.

So while I was watching the nest last season, I thought== How horrible it would be if a puppy or kitten were to appear for lunch on that nest!
.
I can handle squirrels, myself. But some other type animal would be disturbing, for most people I think.

I also wonder that these eagles are catching gulls. When we see eagles on vacation, (there is a nest 2 islands over from us), we see gulls harassing the eagles often. They chase them in the air, etc. We have never seen eagles hunting the gulls. But I'll keep watching for it.

Edit-- oh this camera is so much better! And on full screen, it is fantastic!

Oh awesome!!! This is so...well, I was thinking about the eagle cam just a few days ago, and boom! Here it is! Yay!!!!!!!

Thanks BP for bumping it up!
