Hey everybody!!
Tami, Ben, Cookie and I and got down to the lake this week. It’s been 35 days since the eagles started sitting on the nest, and we wondered if we could see any eagle babies.
B and I looked through binoculars while Tami stood in her usual spot
I’m surprised she doesn’t have a circle around her left eye, she spies at the eagles through that thing so much!
Anyway, we looked and looked and looked, but we didn’t see any little gray heads poking up.
We did see her poke her beak into the nest though. Either she was turning the eggs or tending to the baby(babies).
Tami really thinks those babies have hatched. The nest is wicked deep though, so we might not see the babies for another couple of weeks. But we’ll keep trying!
While we’re all enjoying this wicked warm weather, Tami worries about the babies. When the game warden came to tag them a couple years ago (click on the eagle tag to the right to see the post) he said that hot, dry weather can dehydrate eagle babies. This nest especially, because it has no shade.
But we’ve had two eagle babies survive before! And we’re hoping we do again . . .
