Thread Name: BS: Live nesting bald eagles feed!
Subject: RE: BS: Live nesting bald eagles feed!
I've been watching and saving individual shots (they update with new photos every 5 to 15 minutes)from a live eagle cam on the Connecticut River ever since 1998. These same two birds have raised from one to two little ones a year -- except for the one year when a storm took out the eggs. Eagles mate for life. (Kind of like me and Carol.) It's a wonder to behold these birds laying there incubating the eggs with several inches of snow on top of them. After a while, the male will take over incubating the eggs while the female goes to feed and stretch her wings. I, for one, get emotionally attached to the birds. It's almost as addictive as this forum. Pretty amazing!!
