WOW, it´s windy up there! The whole tree just swayed from side to side.
So lovely to watch...what patience an eagle has!
Here we are, behind our computers and the animals go about their "business". Life goes on. It does tend to put things into perspective. :humble:
Thanks so much for the link. I have bookmarked your thread, will be keeping an ´eagle-eye´ on this. :)

Thanks Jorr,

I watch the ones on Webcam here on Vancouver Island in Canada and it is something to watch from egg to flight of these new babies.

1.8 million views!

3 eggs! :yes4:

I watched a bit last night and saw how the pair swapped seats to give the other a respite.
It´s difficult to see which is male/female, but I guess the female is the one that sits most of the time.
I read up on it and it said :-" One way to determine the sex of an eagle is to examine its beak. Females have deeper (distance from top to chin) beaks than males."
Hmmm, if only they would sit next to each other and pose for the camera, I would be able to tell the difference. :becky:
Anyway, now we have to wait 35 days until the incubation period is over.

If anyone is interested, there is a ustream (http://www.ustream.tv/richmondeagles) for a pair of eagles in Richmond.
One eaglet hatched yesterday, another still to go.
