The dad finally stood up and there are now four lil bobbleheads on the nest. I was beginning to think that last egg wasn’t viable.
The eagle owlets LOVE the new railings Juris put around the nest when he was up there for their banding. There have been a couple of times I thought one would “fludge” but they’ve always managed to get their balance just in time.
The oldest two are 44 days old now so it won’t be too much longer before we see a branching. Dang it. It’s always bitter-sweet when they grow up and leave the nest.
It is kind of sad. There are fewer and fewer babies to watch. Glad that the sea eagles have begun the nesting season.
Guess I’ll go for now. Took 1/2 a benadryl and i’m really drowsy now. And I have no kitties to want all-night attention. :)
See ya tomorrow night? Quiz time! :)
Nite, radu....nite Kathy! Great and important thread tonight!
