I have had cam up non stop. heard chirping since sat evening but yesterday it was getting louder .

dad had brought in coot yesterday and tired to move branch in front but mom left and he incubated. later last night , mom tackled that branch. It was nail-biting as she came very close to eggs. but she got it to other side of her. now dad has to move it more.
sorry no pictures , but I have not had time for snaps

I am in and out but cam is recording. :7val:

Berry confirmation:

As of this morning, our eagle experts say there appears to be a pip. It has been a challenge to get a good screenshot, because our eagles are sticking close to the eggs, but we managed to grab a pretty good view of the pip, as you can see below. It can take up to 24 hours for the eaglet to hatch following the external pip through the egg shell.

So funny, Pa used the old "stick trick" to get her off the eggs. He immediately lost interest in the sticks when she stood. Pa on duty!!

You know, I can't see the pip in the 2nd egg and I am unsure of movement in your vid, bev ... I am suspicious that I may need to increase the power of my readers ... plus they are pretty beat up ... time for new ones! :10val:

Love the pics and vid of his "stick ruse", bev. Did you notice how he hung one on the outside of the rail? :10val:

bev. · **Posted:** Mon Feb 18, 2019 5:49 pm

You have to really watch to see movement in egg, I have my power glasses on LOL. I could not see it with my bare eye.

they say second pip is on top of tither egg, so it will be hard to see
that stick Pa hung on side can be used to dry fish. :10val:

I went back to see Pa's shenanigans. This time he tripped backwards over her head and got a soft scolding from Ma and left. I changed my resolution from a tip I saw on chat and can't believe how much clearer now. No more blurring every time one of them moves. Unfortunately, cam 2 is gone. Some believe it happened when IR came on with new zoomed in focus. I was there when it happened, but don't know. I did get to see the end of the egg with the possible pip and the 1st pipped egg is slowly progressing. And thanks for your tip on pip and pics, bev!
Your welcome Sally, if you get a chance watch bev's vid on Pa's "stick ruse" to get Ma off eggs and go back on DVR to catch his bumbled last attempt that didn't work. He is hilarious, loves his eggs though!!
