Carolina Raptor Center...busy, busy, busy...

Sorry this is so long..they are just so entertaining...Savannah started by bringing in a new stick...then switched to digging for buried treasure. I don't know where the other eagles are that you are hearing..but, Derek decides to go check it out...I also think these two need to be placed on stick restriction.

toward the end, you will see that there are now only 2 eggs...

Houston, we have a problem....not really a problem, just nature. We have seen a pair of Great Horned Owls (GHO) in the nest seemingly looking to take it over. Pat Fisher from The Feather believes that if they are there, George and Martha may very well abandon it. Now, last year there was a sub adult eagle in the nest and George or Martha drove it off. If the owls take up residence, we will definitely not interfer. I don't know exactly what will happen, what we are certainly in for a lesson in Nature

I think one of Savannah eggs broke. She removed it from the nest yesterday and then Derek took it away and ate it. :( They posted video on FB but had it sped up so fast it was hard to catch.

I just hope the other two are viable!

Great catch, KF...I read that Harrison Bay has a second nest...It will be interesting to see which one they choose..

Twin Cities cam...recorded this morning...just now getting around to posting it. If egg lay estimates are correct then we should be on hatch watch!!! How the heck are they gonna feed these babies? Isn't MN frozen right now? I can tell I'm gonna worry myself to death...

kittenface · **Posted:** Wed Feb 06, 2013 7:42 pm

I'm scared to death to watch them with all that darn snow, I'm not sure about the frozen thing I'll go lok and see if I can find anything out

MN~they have zoomed in...guess they're checking for pips..

Not really sure where this nest is, other than "Twin Cities"...so, I checked Minneapolis weather~~I guess it could be worse.. :coldwinter:

PattiO · **Posted:** Thu Feb 07, 2013 3:20 pm

Which nest is that??? 3 eggs! in that cold, cold weather! :coldwinter:

PattiO · **Posted:** Thu Feb 07, 2013 3:27 pm

Not seeing any hatching here yet.

Brand new cam, PattiO..yup, 3 eggs...and they have the biologist a tad puzzled...website says eagles usually lay in March up there...

Here's the link!! Its a good cam...no sound and no infrared...

No infared ... but with all the snow I can see her just fine. :)

MN~nice sunny day for them...and when one arrives, he/she always brings something..

Wolf River.....no eggs yet, but the resident eagles better make an appearance soon..This GHO has been visiting the nest for the past few days...First time I have seen her on the nest during the day.

either they want to get a head start on hunting for all the fish/food before everyone else does, or they came up from further south, or both.

seems to be more and more great horned owl cams now... that were originally eagle cams

the twin cities pair sure seem to be sitting tight on those eggs, not leaving them exposed for maybe more than 10 sec, at least from what I've seen this afternoon.

MN....about an hour ago..

Carolina...I don't know if this is a shadow, debris, or a pip....

PattiO · **Posted:** Sat Feb 09, 2013 12:40 pm

FB page reports chick halfway out at Carolina!!!

catwoman · **Posted:** Sat Feb 09, 2013 3:11 pm

Its all the way out now! :sum9:

Just realized how long its been since I've viewed this cam, I didn't know it was livestream & had sound! :girlyes:

I find it interesting that its dad on the egg/chick now. Savanna is right there, too. With falcons, dads generally get very nervous if the mom isn't around & an egg is hatching.

PattiO · **Posted:** Sat Feb 09, 2013 3:24 pm

cat ... I was watching right after it hatched... Derek came in and Savannah got up and took a break. Dad poked around at the empty shell and ate a few pieces. It was cute. :) The sun glare is so bad though ... going to take another look and see if it's better now.
