One flew off, now one is back. I think they are getting antsy and know the eggs are getting ready to hatch soon. He/she does a lot of lifting up and checking and moving the eggs.

Glad I was home to see it happen! I got really lucky this year to see an egg laid and an egg hatch. If I get to see one of the eaglets jump off the nest for the first time it'll be great!

Oh so sweet! I'm looking now and the big bird is scooching,rocking back and forth over her eggs and baby and organizing twigs around the nest. I got a tiny glimpse of the baby a minute ago and I think I can hear it peep now and then.

How neat they just used the ptz to zoom in, saw the baby getting a piece of fish then mom/dad snuggled it right back in.

They just zoomed in and showed a rainbow trout laying next to the parent, waiting to be fed to the baby. Upper left of nest,

Yes, must be nice for them to live across the street from a Trout hatchery!

Missed it and the bird is just sitting there enjoying the sun today. I can hear people talking nearby.

They are doing a closeup now and another egg is now starting to hatch. Ok bird back on top of them now. I got to see the chick really well that time. The parents was feeding it. How cute and fuzzy it is.
