Decorah eagles

[Virginia]

Sorry you had this problem Agate, but glad you told me. I have actually had that thought cross my mind. My computer should be able to deal with it, but we never know.

Sometimes I've had problems I've asked technical experts about, and they often ask what I was doing when the computer developed a problem.

The other couple of times when the screen went dark suddenly were when I was playing a game at the AARP games site. I'm still taking my chances and playing those games but I try not to stay around there for any length of time any more.

I just responded to both of you in the Chitchat thread regarding your computer issues.

What I learned as my old iMac was failing, from my dear friend, who knows computers, was that interactive (games) and video sites, particularly live streaming, take a toll on a computer/device. While I waited for my new iMac, I relied on my iPad, using cellular data, and it didn't take long for that data to be used up.

It's even worse, if your Operating System (OS) is outdated, or your computer is several years old. I know that my old iMac far outlived its shelf-life. What we may consider "not that old," is probably quite old by modern technology standards.

I checked in on the eaglets today, and I noticed one of the parents perched on a branch away from the nest, while the eaglets slept. One parent is always nearby keeping an eye on the babies, even when we can't see that parent.

The eaglets have certainly grown quickly, but I don't think that they are ready to fledge yet. They have to go through training with Mom and Dad first. And their feathers are certainly coming in now. It's astounding how quickly they mature.

I wish you both, Agate and Virginia, the best with your computer woes. I will testify that changing from my old computer to my new computer was stressful, but not nearly as stressful as wondering what was going to happen next or when my computer would just give up and not come back on.

Love & Light,

It has been awhile, since I checked in on the eaglets, and they are huge! One of the parents was in the nest with them probably to keep them from toppling out of the nest.

They were feeling their Wheaties! Showing the parent their wing spread and that they are learning. They pecked at the parent a few times, and the parent reacted with a "back off" attitude. And that eagle scowl!

Now the parent is perched on the branch above the eaglets, on watch duty.

The nest is quite clean and tidy. No leftovers to be seen.

It's wonderful to watch them maturing. They might fledge in June, if my recollection is correct.

Love & Light,

❤️❤️❤️❤️

I'm pretty sure I'd be very obedient if I was a youngun and had parents who were eagles. One look from one of them and I'd be back in line. They have the look of being parents who put up with no nonsense.

[Virginia]

They are beginning to get feathers like their Mom and Dad! I have a feeling they will not be in that nest much longer.

[agate]

I must not have checked in on them for nearly a week because of the problem I had with the computer but I looked in today (and the screen didn't go dark) and how they've changed! They're looking more and more like their parents, handsome feathers and all.

[Virginia]

You are so right Agate! I just looked in on them and one was standing up. I did a double take before I realized it wasn't the smaller of the parents.

[Virginia]

Today, they are both on their feet and one was trying to eat something. Could have been a rabbit at some point in time. Yuck!!

[agate]

More and more they've been feeding themselves without help from Ma and Pa. They might be on their way soon.

[agate]

What a feast is going on! The things some people will eat... They seem to have a raccoon carcass and are having a wonderful time.

The youngsters are almost as big as their parent now but don't have white heads yet. Wonder when/if their heads turn white?

Thanks Agate, I hope they don't steal off in the middle of the night when none of us are watching sometime - or even in the day. I would love to see them when they take off.

[agate]

I believe they have to do a little practicing first before they take off, and even after they've taken off, they might come back for food. And maybe because there's no place like home?

I think eagles sleep at night, so they probably will fledge in the daytime.

I found this website with excellent information about bald eagles:

When I checked on the eaglets earlier today, one was eating, and the other one was "wingersizing." They're getting ready for their first flight, getting those wings strong and learning about what the wind feels like underneath them.

What a delight to watch them grow! Thanks again, agate, for starting this thread.

Thinking of Nuthatch (Joan) and her family today.

Love & Light,

❤️❤️❤️❤️

THANKS!

It would take a lot of practice, wouldn't it? I'd be terrified of my first flight if I were an eaglet. Sort of like a Wright Brothers moment.
