That's my new neck of the woods. Seeing lots of bald eagle posts on Facebook, and I can't wait to disc golf at Codorus. Two weeks or so and I'm there.

Got a split screen set up and will be watching as much as possible. Thought I was looking at a still or slow refresh rate, momma doesn't move much.

She just turned the eggs. This is kind of like waiting for the water to boil, but more interesting.

Thanks for pointing this out, Davis. Just shared this with my kids - they love it and are glued to their screens!

This hasn't gone off since I saw this. Im fairly absorbed into it lol. ty for posting this!

Must be warming up back there. I notice most of the snow is melted off the nest now. Earlier this morning, only the area where the one parent was brooding was melted clear of snow....

jlmarta

Eggs just got turned again. The parent rotated his/her position 90 degrees CCW. Man, I don't know which is more exciting - this or watching grass grow.... ??

jlmarta

Another changing of the guard. Eggs are still intact. Not much happening at the moment. Somebody else take over for a while. I've got honey-do's to attend too.... lol

That tree is really swaying in the breeze this morning. Dizzying to watch.

glad you posted this. It's way cool. A few years ago me and my other half followed a nesting pair as they raise three eaglets over the summer. The eagles nested on a point out over the water on Lake James. a large impoundment east of Asheviile NC. Lucy and i would paddle our kayaks down the lake to see the eagles every time we put in. One day all five were soaring and diving at each other. Just seeing those magnificent birds help me to understand why Native Folks use their feathers in ceremony..

Eaglets didn't peck their way out yet. You can see dark spots on the egss, tho, where their little heads and wings are probably crowding the shells. Mom and Pop have made a fluffy nest atop their twig nest. Fingers crossed for a hatch today.

I was unable to sleep last night and tried to watch this around midnight. It didn't work out too well for me. I just missed mom taking over for dad by about five minutes this morning, according to the comments.

Wow. When you see them so close you truly realize why they're our national bird. Thank goodness Ben Franklin didn't have his way!

One of the eggs has hatched! Looks like the little guy is doing fine!

Daddy sitting. Brought a fish for the eaglet to snack on.

I saw the switch and the feeding. It was cool. Both of those birds together make for quite the picture. Then my computer went to the BSOD and I didn't get a screencap.

That is AWESOME!!!! Such beautiful birds and a great cam!

I think my first day off of work after moving will be a trip to Codorus to disc golf and look for eagles.
