Thread Name: BS: Eagle Nest and Hatching
Subject: RE: BS: Eagle Nest and Hatching
Addictive indeed! My wife innocently clicked on one of these eagle cam links some five years ago. Now she is a volunteer administrator on at least two eagle web-cam forums, one is the David Hancock Wildlife Forum out in British Columbia.
I get updates from her on what's happening at two or three dozen eagle nests every evening and sometimes at breakfast. Whether I want to or not, I'm sure learning a whole lot more about eagles, and the people who watch them!
But they're very cute when they're newly hatched. Beware, in about three weeks they'll look really ugly, like the baby dinosaurs they really are. Then they'll get feathers and they'll be a joy to watch learning how to use them until they fledge (10 to 12 weeks).
