Momma has been lining the nest with feathers this morning. Looks like Poppa musta brought her a dead bird to pluck for the purpose. I've been following this bald eagle cam. I think I have figured out the orientation and all. Across the road at two oclock from the camera is Codorus Reservoir. McSherrystown is five miles or so at ten oclock. When I motorcycle to FX Smith's Sons, I ride up the other side of that reservoir, then hang a left through Hanover to McSherrystown. Beautiful ride. This pair of eagles no doubt live off the fish in the reservoir. Poppa brings her a fish every once in a while, and spells her when she needs a good fly. Alleghenies are behind the camera. Glen Rock is ten miles to the right.

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.

jd50ae · March 2015

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

Chemnitz · March 2015

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

It wont work on my computer here at work.

I love web cams like this! Its so cool! guess I should be working instead of watching birds. lol

jlmarta · March 2015

Just had a changing of the guard. One flew in and the other left for a fly-around....

Keep up the updates!!! I love this!

Crousefer · March 2015

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

jlmarta · March 2015

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 · March 2015

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 · March 2015

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

Just a whole lot of small twig maintenance today. Trying to fluff up the experience, I spose.

sounds good to me.

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

First Warrior · March 2015

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.

raisindot · March 2015

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!

raisindot · March 2015

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.

Martel · March 2015

Got a shot of the proud parents, but didn't see the eaglets.

Martel · March 2015

Got some more. First is one of the eagles staring straight at the camera.

Then one of the ball of fluff.

And then, just a minute later, I was a touch slow getting the shot as one adult launched into the air. Still a pretty cool shot. It was spectacular to watch it fly off live.

Martel · March 2015

The second one hatched this morning.

LiquidChaos66 · March 2015

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

Martel · March 2015

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