It was 37 degrees and looked like a very, very light snow that melted as soon as it hit her feathers. Afterall, it felt like 31 degrees 80 ft. up in the air but it could have been a super light mist, too.


The cam looked across the road to the farmhouse but immediately was "rained" on which brings up the question, how do the rangers clean the camera lens when it get dirty or smeared?

As soon as I turn the computer on I immediately go to the Eagle Nest Cam site. This was our first view, the second chick hatched! You can still see it's shell in the nest.


Bandit is the oldest, and strongest. The second one is mostly laying down. The third one ...still in the shell.


What to name the second one? Fuzzy? Could call him/her Fuzzball for short.


Mama, watching over her little ones.


Lunch time.


And then it's time for a nap.

"Honey, been out shopping."


"Brought back some groceries. There was a special on crow."


"Got some fish, too. Try not to burn it this time."


Hey! You're not invited. Family only, bud.


"Honey, we have a great start on our one year supply of food."


Crow and rabbit, ummm, umm good!

When I turned on my computer this morning, the first thing I checked was the livecam on the eagle nest. And this was the first thing I saw!!!


It hatched sometime between 2 a.m. and 10:00 a.m. The rangers that run the cam have done a great job of getting good shots of this little guy or girl.


My FAVORITE picture. I'm going to name this one "Bandit."


The mama has food in her mouth to feed the little one. He's very wobbly when he tries to sit up.


"Do I have to eat it?"


"Wait, that was really good! Can I have more?"


Full at last.


Mama was feeding him parts of the rabbit from between the front legs. I just knew the rabbit was her food storage.

This was taken Friday, 1 Apr. about 4:30 pm. No hatchlings yet although this is the day the first egg is expected to hatch.


The proud mama, or is that the papa?


She turns her eggs quite often, then settles back on them to keep them warm in the cold temperatures.


Another peek to make sure they're okay. Or maybe she felt some movement?


It's 10:30 pm and no one has hatched out yet. The joke's on us.
