Bald Eagle was sitting on the nest today when I looked. It's dark now
Looked at the cam a few times today... Bald Eagle was patiently sitting on the nest. Makes you appreciate all the hours Moms put into patiently tending to their young.
Unless you saw something I didn't PSUinMICH, here's expecting we will see the Bald Eagle on the nest again tomorrow, when it becomes visible again during daylight hours.
The Hays eagles near Pittsburgh had two eggs, one broke about ten days ago, the other broke yesterday. No one knows why they weren't viable. Too late in the year for them to have more eggs. After raising three eaglets last year, they will not have any this year.
Here's a nest in Minnesota with two eaglets that are doing fine. Fascinating to watch.

I've been watching quite a bit. Both adults take turns feeding young and sitting on the fledglings. Also adding more grass to the nest. Pretty interesting stuff.
