Wow, GP and thanks. What a fantastic view!

Much better view this year. It should be exciting to watch.

Oh, yay, I was just thinking about this the other day. Thanks for the link.

They have their first egg!

Fantastic. Here's a link to the slide show. From slide 19 onwards you can see the egg.

Here is another Eagle Cam that we watch rather faithfully. Derek and Savannah are the mating pair and they have an interesting history. I find it fascinating that the nest is so close to the ground. There are several injured eagles in the enclosure. This morning I counted 4 but there may be more.

Second egg was laid today.

Here is a photo from the Blackwater eagle webcam taken a few minutes ago. The parents were switching positions on the nest. First egg should hatch around 2-17.

Linth, that shows the nest cup so well.

Wow....nice set up this year!!

Yay! sure sign of spring!

They now have their third egg. The nest was covered with snow this morning.

The sitting bird just got up and rearranged the three eggs, which were clearly visible.

That's a great view!

Here is an updated photo of the Blackwater Eagle Cam. Two of the three eggs have hatched.

Aww... that is great!

How wonderful is that? Locallly we've a nest with 2 visible Eaglets. I can't hardly wait until I am able to obtain some pics. to share.

Wow. That seems quick. I was looking at it last night and there appeared to be a freshly killed and partially eaten bird in the nest.

Ooooh NOOOOOO! From which location Margaret?

From Blackwater, Kim. There's no was I could tell what sort of bird it was, unless it was actually a fish, which I don't think it was. (That makes sense, doesn't it?)

I still think it's tooooooo cold for those babies!

The first egg could possibly hatch today!

I am watching & waiting!!

First Eaglet was born around 11am. I knew it was close. When I was watching early, Mom kept turning her head and it seemed to be listening to something.

That's wonderful.

First chick.

Very very cute!!!

Wonderful new life.

they are just so dang cute!

Awesome live video this morning of the chick being fed. Love it.

Three photos from Blackwater just a few minutes ago. The smallest chick is right up there next to the parent bird's claw on the fish.

Right now, at Norfolk, the parent bird is feeding the chick

Mom acting a little wierd...maybe chick #2 is on the way!

According to the blog, the second chick has arrived.

Just got a peek of one of the eaglets!!

That little squirt was really moving around there. What a cutie.
