2nd egg must be infertile...E14 says

There has been so much time since E14 hatched that I am kind of hoping he is the only eaglet... :flirty:

Gigi, I think so too :1val:

This is interesting. Chat started at 2:15. The mod is conceding that the 2nd egg probably won't hatch, but we have until tomorrow. Also, someone asked about M15 trying to bury the egg earlier today. This was the response from the mod:

Raptor1 (Admin): M15 buried it, not very deep, and Harriet got it up and out again

Seems a little early for M15 to try to bury the egg, but ...
Remember burying and digging up and burying struggle years ago here.

M15 is on the outer attic and Harriet on the nest with E14 partially visible from under her chest.

E14 is getting some really big bites in this morning!

Stuffed eaglet - this little crop explodes...

Harriet on the nest and M15 flew elsewhere for the night.

Update: M15 returned to the outer attic with vocals from Harriet at 18:26. :holsad:

E14 has remained out in front of Harriet for most of the evening. You can see her squirming at 11:35 and at other times throughout the evening. I can not see the egg now, but earlier Harriet was no longer incubating as it was between her and E14 (21:47 you can see egg and E14 out in front of it squirming). E14 was 7 days old today. Normally they are able to thermoregulate at 10-14 days. Down to 68 tonight with wind currently at 9 mph and rain expected to start shortly. To be on the safe side, hoping Harriet broods E14 soon.

M15 is now on the nest brooding E14 in the light rain. Harriet had already fed E14 twice before leaving this morning.

M15 just moved the egg away from the nest bowl some, but Harriet moved it back in with E14. He went to the outer attic. Harriet is getting settled.

Harriet fed E14 twice before leaving on her 1st break of the morning. M15 brooded, but did not feed while he was there. Harriet has been back for awhile from her break and is currently brooding. M15 has left the area.

Close-up of feed in progress!

Thanks for the heads up, SWINWK! Feed is over, but some nestorations going on next to a sleeping E14. :flirty:

Harriet on the nest and M15 on the outer attic for the night shift.

Update: At 8:07, M15 threw his wings out once, turned and flew upward and to the right off screen and within seconds perhaps it is him who flies from the right to the left off screen and back from the left and off screen again to the right. Don't know if he saw something and threw his wings out as they do when they are startled and go into protective mode or if he was simply throwing the rain off his wings before flight. On the 360 there are no alerts from him or Harriet as she notices him leave and turns her head in the direction he flew to see where he was going. Harriet remains on the nest.

M15 returned to the outer attic at 4:57 this morning to Harriet's vocals. E14 has been fed a couple times and currently is alone on the nest while Harriet dries on the snag.

Little pascha relaxed...

That 1st capture says it all about her!! Someone described her as precocious and I agree! She is going to be a handful for Harriet and M15 and a hoot for us. One that we love and remember ...
