Web cam - Bald Eagles and their offspring in Iowa.
« on: April 08, 2011, 00:31:03 »
I have been watching this web cam for the past couple of days and thought I would share it with you.  The eaglets are so cute.  One was born yesterday and the older ones a week or so ago.   Enjoy.  :D

That's fantastic, Pauline, thanks.  What a superb view.  I have book marked and will be returning daily!

Great, with its feathers ruffling in the wind, I almost feel I could reach out and touch it.

Anybody still watching?  I tune in every day to have a look.  The chicks are doing really well.  Mum and dad are great parents.  They've also been under attack the past three nights (I saw it live on Tues night) from a troublesome nearby owl.  It dive bombed mum at one point - very brave or very stupid, LOL!  It's terribly windy there at the moment and apparently due to get worse.

Oh dear, they've had the thunderstorms and the terrential rain, now they've got snow!  Mum looks cold as she's been sitting there for soooo long.  Wish dad would come and take her place so she could fly for a little while and warm up.

Oh poor thing! Doesn't she look cold, wet and fed up! I hope the babies survive.

That's gorgeous! It looks really cold! I guess they are not getting our April heatwave!

2012 - Snow in February, non-stop rain till July. Blight and rot are rife. Thieving voles cause strife. But first runner beans and lots of greens. Follow an English allotment in urban France: http://roos-and-camembert.blogspot.com

If they could talk they would be saying,"God I`m tired, my wings are heavy and I`ve got bloody massive feet"

They are all just flopped in the nest not sleeping but knackered! ;D
