Thread Name: BS: Eagle Nest and Hatching
Subject: RE: BS: Eagle Nest and Hatching
Yes, them eagles is doing what they should be doing.
The pair of eagles in the Sasanoa River nest platform in Maine are also brooding their eggs. There's no web cam but I get to observe them once or twice a week as I cross over the Woolwich/Arrowsic Island bridge on the way to visit my mother. And they're right on schedule.
Oh, the Ospreys are finally back as well; I saw them perched this evening on branches above their nest platform. The eagles tolerate them within their territory because they like to steal fish from them. But the eagles know better than to try to raid the osprey nest, because two osprey can and will do in an eagle.
In watching raptor web cams, we invariably root for the little guy. Sometimes they win or otherwise survive. Sometimes they don't.
