sw Fla. sitting on two baby eggs. All live. Enjoy

[Frog42]

I'll take your word that she's sitting on them since she's not transparent!

Thanks Sally!

[nuthatch]

Yup, two nice eggies!

[Virginia]

I wonder if they ever get tired and just fly away? You know eagles might get cranky like some of us. Such patience. A human mom can get up and walk around and carry her baby with her so she doesn't have to worry.

[agate]

I think they're hard-wired to be good parents.

[Howie]

She just raised up, just a little, to rotate the eggs so each side gets some of her body heat, then spread herself out on top of them, then just sits and always looking around for any trouble. A good mom.

[agate]

There are good reasons why there are two parents. They can take turns babysitting.

Or eggsitting.

[SalpalSally]

If I am correct, I believe this would be a new Dad, since old Papa Ossie,
died of old age last month?? Harriet is the Mom. I haven,t seen him yet, at least
I don't think I have..lol

[agate]

I saw the two eggs--so these birds aren't just faking it for the publicity!

Sally, according to the Website, the original male was named Ozzie and died last fall. So this is a new male, apparently named MI5.

[agate]

One of the eggs may have hatched--I can't tell for sure.

[SalpalSally]

Yep, it seems so Joan!!
wasn't expecting it!!

[SalpalSally]

See the gigantic fish!!!
Poor little guy!s got his work cut out for him!

[agate]

I must have missed the fish unless it was that white thing sticking out of the nest, sort of at 1 o'clock. It's not there any more.

But I saw the baby! Harriet (or was it MI5?) moved just a little and out popped this new little bird. Mom or Dad shoved it right back but it clearly wanted to explore.

[stillstANNding]

Yes, Agate, that is where the fish is (or was).

I'm so glad to know that was a fish. Since it wasn't moving I was concerned.
