Ladies, the Decorah Eagle's nest eaglets have hatched!

[CrazyCatz]

Oh my what is wrong with the females beak? I think she is the one in the nest right now. Looks like it's crushed on one side, her right side.

Well the other one is on the nest now. There is part of her/his beak missing, the pointy part. They had an active night. Seemed to be something irritating them all night.

I don't know-maybe it's just a trick of the light? or dirt? there's nothing on the live feed or on FB about any problems, and i'm sure there would be. a couple of people in the social stream feed just mentioned dirt/grass being the same as yesterday.


they just did a close up of the eggs again, no sign of cracks/pips....

( i think mom and dad just changed places, but i don't know which is which yet- i could tell last year, but i've forgotten )

 

[CrazyCatz]

She/he is on the nest right now. Here is a pic of the beak. You can tell by a close up they did a while ago that the outer shell is gone on this side. I hope this is some kind of process their beak goes through. If the Raptor folks are not freaked out then I guess it's just a n00b worrying about nothing, LOL!

 

[CES]

I did see that. I'm hoping it's just dirt.

(i think you're right that that's mom)

 

[CrazyCatz]

I hope they start PIPing soon! I have to keep this on all the time for Sasha. She is in my office from 8 am until late at night laying here watching this feed.

Does Sasha like all the bird sounds on the live feed?

 

[CES]

the first pip was confirmed this afternoon.

I think it takes about 24 hours for the hatch to be complete

 

[Fudgey]

Yay........now it gets really exciting!!

 

[classwife]

Thank you ! I didn't have a chance to check on them today !!

 

[CrazyCatz]

Does Sasha like all the bird sounds on the live feed?

Oh yeah she loves it. When I first started watching, when the eagles would call each other she would hit the deck and lay flat. It was funny. Now she just watches all day long. I think the bird sounds keep her in attack mode for the poor birds around here. She and Pharaoh were sitting on a small box peeking out my office window at birds yesterday and all of the sudden, POW! They both jumped at the same time right to the ceiling chasing a bird that landed on the top of my window outside. So glad we have armor glass windows. That was a lot of cat hitting my window at one time.

Wow this is exciting!

 

[CES]

I bet cat hitting window made a large thud. yikes.

You're welcome classy- I'm glad that others are enjoying this- it's one of the coolest things ever!

 

[CES]

The pip is getting bigger- i caught a quick glimpse while dad (mom?) was rearranging the straw in the nest. he sat back down before i could get a screen shot

 

[CES]

the first eaglet hatched!!!!!!

(i really have gotten work done today, even if i have had the live feed up the entire time)

 

[classwife]

oh oh oh oh ohhhh !!!!

Hatch !!!!!!!

 

[CES]

the second one hatched this morning!!

raptorresource RRP is confirming a second hatch Wednesday morning. Welcome to the world, D13! 2 hours ago

 

[CrazyCatz]

Still waiting on the third egg. Mom was feeding the other two a few minutes ago and D12 kept pecking D13 like, "Hey that is my food!" Mom put her beak down and seemed to chat a little to D12 and he stopped. They are so darn cute!

 

[CrazyCatz]

Oh and now Pharaoh has become jealous of the babies. I had the video on my phone last night and he got mad. He kept swatting my phone down, bit me rinse and repeat. I was like chill out pork chop! LOL! He has a certain nip he gives me if he isn't happy and never intends to hurt me thank goodness with those choppers!

 

[CES]

ruh roh....jealous kitty, glad he's just making a point (no pun intended).

Lunch time for the oldest two eaglets

they've reported that there's a pip in the 3rd egg, but the camera won't go close up right now.

 

[classwife]
