I did see eaglet #2 get two bites this time, but #1 keeps going after him.

Oh well.... knew it was coming.

1. Hope they both are getting fed. Wonder if the third egg is a dud.

[Autumn Colors]

2. I was wondering that, too

Now they're alone in the nest!

29. We saw it moving for awhile a couple hours ago

[malaise]

3. She left them

they're all alone

[KittyWampus]

4. awww, one little chick just yawned.

5. I saw mom leave them ALONE in the nest this morning!

:scared: I've never seen her do that. She would always wait for dad to come before she left. I saw eaglet #1 pecking the hell out of eaglet #2 this morning. :cry: It was so sad. The poor little thing just cowered in place and stopped trying to get to the food. I understand this is what they do, but I don't have to like it, right? :(

[malaise]

7. I saw that too

Mom stopped feeding them after that.

[Autumn Colors]

9. maybe that's a good thing

you fight and neither of you get anything more...

The info on there says this pair seems to have had good luck in the past with their young not killing/starving each other.

[Autumn Colors]

8. I know

This time, I saw #1 start to go to sleep and I thought dad was going to then feed #2 since it wasn't getting bothered, but then he flew off!

I think this is dad minding the nest again now.

[in_cog_ni_to]

11. Well, he BETTER do a better job minding the nest than he did on Sunday!

;)

[in_cog_ni_to]

6. OMG...she left them again. Dad was just there a little while ago.

I wonder what's up with the leaving them?

[Autumn Colors]

12. maybe it saw potential food close by? (nt)

[in_cog_ni_to]

16. Possibly, but came back empty handed. I'm a mom. I worry about these things!

:D

10. Is it a given that only one survives or something?

I won't watch any more now that it's getting to the brutal stage between the eaglets. :(

[Autumn Colors]

13. This pair seems to have a good track record

The info on there says this pair seems to have had good luck in the past with their young not killing/starving each other, but I guess that is the norm (not all surviving because of the fighting).

[in_cog_ni_to]

14. Yes. All of them rarely survive, from what we've been told. They peck each other,

the strongest gets the food and the weaker/pecked one usually won't survive. :cry: I know I won't be able to watch that either. They're just to cute to watch die. I can't do it.

[OneGrassRoot]

19. ....

I'm with you.

:hug:

[elleng]

20. Kind of like my daughters.

:sarcasm: (kind of)

Sorry. Life's a 'you know.'

15. Did you see the BP ad?????

I am ready to hurl a lung!

I appreciate you posting the link to the eagles. I'm a big fan and I'm also
from Iowa, so this is wonderful.

However, did anyone else have to watch a PR-shame-of-an ad from BP before you
were able to watch the eagles?

The ad was a 30 second commercial touting how effectively BP cleaned up the
oil spill and returned life, the seafood, the economy and the Gulf back
to its original condition. The ad featured two, young Gulf-area restaurant
owners who said that they were, "back to serving Gulf seafood" as images
of seafood plates were placed on tables.

OH please!!!

This makes me so sick! The organization responsible for bringing us the footage
of these amazing eagles, has done so to promote ecology and to teach people
about the importance of a clean and healthy environment--for people and for the
eagles.

Anyone else just a little put off by this ad? Anyone else see the ad?

[in_cog_ni_to]

17. Was the ad on UStream? I've just been in constant streaming mode on the site

so I haven't seen ANY ads.

[CoffeeCat]

27. Yes, the ad comes up before the live stream starts...

...immediately when you get on the page.

If you hit refresh, the page plays an ad, then the eagle live stream is shown.

[Posteritatis]

31. It interrupted the feed to give me an ad when I tried looking just now. (nt)

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

25. You mean the piece of Propaganda shown before going to live stream? I wanted to

:puke:

[in_cog_ni_to]

18. Mom's back! n/t

[Kablooie]

21. Oh wow. Someone is controlling the camera and zooming up on the chicks.

That's a pretty fancy setup for that bird.

[Kablooie]

24. Ha! The mother noticed when the lens zoomed back. It must make a little noise.

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

22. Now the little one is getting fed more and looks a lot stronger! The number 1 baby is looking as if

it's saying..what about me???

Feeding number 1 now and little one looking the same way "what about me!"

This is just remarkable!

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

23. The little one appears to be conking out again.

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

26. self-delete

[ProdigalJunkMail]

28. Feeding again... @ 1:47PM eastern nt

[Spirochete]

30. I barely got to see them

then they cut to a fucking BP commercial, and when they got back, she was covering them up again. x(

[TornadoTN]

32. One eaglet is exploring the nest, while mama bakes the other egg

Not sure where the other one is, probably still under mama.

[ProdigalJunkMail]

33. The little one 'exploring' got tossed out by accident

The little one bit momma while she was trying to feed it and when she twisted her head the baby flew off to the side and has not moved since...

sP

[TornadoTN]

34. Ouch! I didn't see when that happened

Now I really worry about it getting back to the mom. Seems to be having some problems getting back to her.

Is the other one still under mom? She's moving around like crazy!

*E* Nevermind, the eaglet is now back under it's mom!

[Duer 157099]

35. Same thing happened yesterday, but with dad

Aww, there she goes, mom just got him tucked back in.
