Venturous Randy Posted March 12, 2018 Share #1 Posted March 12, 2018 (edited) As of today we have one eaglet and two eggs. If they all survive, this is going to be one full nest. You can slide the ball back on the time bar and see earlier video. It is going to be very cold the next couple days. It may take a few seconds for the cameras to load.

Venturous Randy Posted March 13, 2018 Author Share #3 Posted March 13, 2018 No Dan, I have not. Eagles have not been around this area much in a long time. We now have two eaglets and one egg. Randy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Venturous Randy Posted March 15, 2018 Author Share #8 Posted March 15, 2018 Randy, Does the wind ever quit blowing 100mph on that mountain? Actually, the nest is not on a mountain, but right above a lake/river. Right now it is a bit breezy as we have a warm front moving in. We were about 63 today. We now have two eaglets and the last egg has a hole in it. If you go down to the second camera it looks directly down on the nest. Just give it a minute to load and it is live unless you slide the ball back. Randy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brenda H Posted March 16, 2018 Share #9 Posted March 16, 2018 we got one or two around here: http://www.venturerider.org/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=111883 Interesting, that looks like they are all adults. Baldies don't get the white head until they are 5 or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandyR Posted March 16, 2018 Share #10 Posted March 16, 2018 do I see a 3rd smaller eaglet chick now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Venturous Randy Posted March 17, 2018 Author Share #11 Posted March 17, 2018 do I see a 3rd smaller eaglet chick now? Yep, we have three little eaglets. We have been watching one of the parents feeding them fish. Like I have said before, if you slide the time ball back a little at a time, you can see when there is a lot of feeding activity. One thing is for sure, they are pretty rough on each other. Sometimes one will end up with a mouthful of fur from another one. I hope the smaller one can fend for itself.

RandyR Posted June 21, 2018 Share #12 Posted June 21, 2018 I just thought about this again so took a look. It appears that the chicks are growing up but still hanging around the nest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, now the three young ones are as big or bigger than their parents. These have been good parents and have kept them well fed. They will fly off for a while, but come back to the nest to rest and be fed. It is amazing how they have beat the nest down this year compared to previous years. If this nest is to be used next year, there will need to be a lot of rebuilding. It has been fun watching them, especially when they were first learning to fly and trying to land, or I should say crash landing. They could usually hit the nest, but not necessarily be able to stay on the nest, falling off. Randy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
