Here's another look at our three eggs :smile:

Does one of these eggs look wrong to anyone?

Good to see you pearl-we have missed you!! :snowflakewow:

Sure doesn't look quite right but maybe the lighting in the nest?

Hi pearl1! It's great to have you back!

Whew! That egg did look kinda funny, but glad it was just the lighting.

I asked Lisa (webmaster on Blackwater) about the 3 Eagles...

~~Yes, we have a lot of eagles at the refuge right now -- well over a hundred. So we might see different birds on the osprey nest than our parents.

Also, if one of those birds is an Eagle Cam parent, it's possible the parent is letting another bird perch with him/her. The eagles don't defend the osprey nest like they do their home nest, since it's not where they're breeding. So sometimes dad might be perching there with a bird that's a visitor.

Beth, thanks for following up with Lisa! Too many eagles around for comfort :shock:

Thanks for the pics, Beth, and the explanation from Lisa. Very interesting.

Nest Update

01/30/11:
Due to our egg action on the Eagle Cam, we've decided to try changing our cam operation times to 3am-11pm. We'll see if our bandwidth amount stays within the limit, and if it does, we'll keep the cams operating at these new times.
