Berry College Eagles Day 82&84 Still No Fledge, Harrison Bay Eagles Day 38&40, White Rock Eagles Day 16&17, Berry College Bluebirds 4 Babies!

Still no fledge at the Berry College nest. I feel bad screaming "Jump!" inside my head when watching them on the branches on the approach cam. But I feel like they are now contemplating jumping and just need the right amount of encouragement... I know -- they will jump when they are ready. I don't know how they each end up with a piece of food.

Remember the beaking and hair pulling? And now look at them.

I'm not sure what they were watching, but they were in sync...

If you are wondering what time the Harrison Bay cam switches off of infrared in the morning, this would be it:

The camera lens is pretty grimy. This is why, even in pictures above that look clear, there's actually blurry spots. The parents brush past the cam and they have oil on their feathers to help protect them from the weather. But it mucks up the lens...

I love this White Rock family. So often, you can find both parents at home. And they have chosen such a beautiful setting for their nest.

Berry College is still not streaming the Bluebird cam. But I found it on Livestream. Here's a link to the cam: Berry College Bluebird Cam.

It's funny how they usually end up with their butts together.

They are nothing but mouths at this age. Always hungry and competing with three others for each bite...

Their eyes should be opening soon.

I found out that five eggs were laid. Four hatched and in this s'cap you can see the egg that didn't hatch in the middle of the nest.

Tonight under the infrared light they are huddled together for warmth. So cute! At the top of the s'cap is Mom's tail. She's perched in the doorway, keeping the kids safe during the overnight hours.
