Thanks, hon...just wondering!
The baby is getting BIG!!
Oh my goodness!! He/She is sitting full up!
...just to keep track of this...
Mama (I assume) is not looking as sharp today as she usually does. Is she sitting in the rain?
Is there a daddy eagle?
Scratch that! The family pix hadn't loaded. How very wonderful!
It's been very wet here...I can't tell the mama from the papa...but they both get very wet taking care of the baby!
I have been watching the chick every day...the other day, he was sitting straight up and I got to see his tootsies...first time I had seen his feet...yes, it surely has been very wet in this area....of course, all that rain, keeps us very green, and all my newly planted goodies are loving this rain...
My mom is in Illinois where, as we speak, it is 92-degrees and 100% humidity.
I am SO grateful I live here! (But I am SO grateful I grew up there!)
I grew up in Illinois, actually in Chicago...I know all about that horrid heat and humidity...and about the frigid winters with the blizzard like conditions....I have been out here in the lovely Pacific Northwest for going onto 23yrs now...and I would never ever trade living out here, for living back there...but I did enjoy growing up in the big city and having access to all that it offered....
Meanwhile, it's Dinnertime!
I think you mean your neck of the woods..not ours...it's rained all day.
feeding the baby right now
Tell me it's just my bad timing, but I haven't seen Mama in the nest all day...?
The parents are staying away longer and longer...don't worry...I saw them yesterday. I just hit it up for the first time today and it's raining...so I think one of them will come back and shelter the chick.
Over the weekend, we had a strong, cold rainstorm, and a parent was always there, hovering over.
Mama/Papa? is there right now 8:14 p.m. PT.
