        It was fun watching the Momma in her nest until the man pouring himself a cup of coffee reminded me I don't have any this morning.....

        Let me guess, his name was Murphy?

          wow this is amazing...
          My DCk and I are watching it and they have me rolling on the floor. They keep trying to scare the bird away by spooking it. They think it can hear them. so cute.

          I wish I was going to be home on Friday. I will be closing for the first time this year.

              This is awesome! Thanks for sharing! About this time last year we had some birds lay a nest in our backyard barbeque, and the kids got the see the baby birds when they hatched. It was such a wonderful experience. I put out some bird houses recently so hopefully the same mating pair will return, but choose the birdhouses instead of inside our barbeque!!

                Here's another one. They show it on the local news here several times a day. There are 4 eggs that were laid March 22nd.

                    that's awesome. thanks for sharing!

                    kids are enjoying it right now.

                    sometimes i wonder what is going through an animals head! . They have no one to answer to or anything, and it's neat how they just do whatever they want. One of the birds is sitting there tilting his head back and forth. like he's exercising.

                      We watch the eagles of Hornby Island. http://www.hornbyeagles.com/webcam.htm

                      Last year they had 2 eggs and one never hatched and then the one little guy that did hatch named Phoenix eas doing great and just a few days before he was getting ready to fly, he dropped dead.....:confused: It was sort of dis-heartening because I had never seen an eagle cam before.....


                      Here are live web-cam sites for bears from the North American Bear Center not far from my house http://www.bear.org/website/
                      and the wolf cam in the same town from the Wolf Center http://www.wolf.org/wolves/experience/webcam.asp

                        We have been enjoying this too! I have 6 kids today and the oldest is 3, so our conversations have been pretty simple, but we have concluded that the mama has a beak, feathers, and eyes. She has three eggs to keep warm, and the Daddy bird is at work ::

                        Mama eagle rearranged her nest a lot while we were watching, so I'm pretty sure the kids think she eats grass. We also heard an airplane fly over and they were frustrated that we couldn't look up to see the plane

                          We were just watching the mama eagle. I gave them a choice between watching her and doing puzzles (they all LOVE puzzles) and they wanted to watch her!

                          Several of them asked where the daddy bird was, so I told them he was at work... She moved one time and they got to see the eggs. They thought that was the coolest thing ever! You should have seen them pointing and squealing.

                          I am planning on showing them again tomorrow. I really hope they hatch tomorrow and not over the weekend! It'd be such a great learning experience for them!

                          Nannyde, thank you SO much for the link!!

                          I will be checking out the others that previous posters put up as well!

                            I've seen one similar, a bear den and her cubs, and a horse in a stall waiting to birth.
