I've been watching the live stream of the Eagle nest on my tablet since shortly after the second egg was laid. The first egg was on February 14 and the second three days later, February 17. Hatch dates are March 21 and 24. They have been through dry sunny days, sleet and freezing rain and, yesterday, buried in about 10 inches of snow. I've made a few screen captures with the Snipping Tool and finally added the images to OneDrive, although they didn't sort the way I wanted because of my editing the names to add the date. It was fascinating watching yesterday as "papa eagle" was digging out "mama eagle". (Papa eagle is Ed and Mama eagle is Ethyl.)
When I grab any additional screen captures, I'll upload them to this folder in OneDrive. http://1drv.ms/19b4AEc
As you know, John, I've been watching the nest on a separate PC daily. At first, I was watching on my 7" tablet but with the birth of the eaglets, I've switched to watching on a larger monitor. Even with the larger monitor, I need to remind myself that the wing span of the female eagle is 79 to 90 inches and that of the male is from 72 to 85 inches. That nest we've been looking at is probably in the range of 6 feet in diameter and 3 feet tall. (I read that there was a nest in Ohio Ohio that was used for 34 years and measured almost 9 feet in diameter, was close to 12 feet tall and weighed over 2 tons!)
I've really been enjoying seeing how these magnificent birds of prey have dealt with the weather and are now taking care of Honor and Justice and still can't resist using the Snipping Tool from time to time to capture an image. I changed the folder I was using in OneDrive and edited my initial post to reflect the change as well as to provide the PA Game Commission (required) link.
