Yesterday Kailer's G'Ma clued us in to a web-site (http://www.decoraheaglecamalerts.com/index.htm) where you can watch a mama Eagle nesting on three eggs, with the possible opporutnity of seeing the babies once they hatch. So yesterday afternoon, right after Kailer (okay and me too) woke up from his nap, we logged on and checked it out. Kailer was really into it and kept wanting to watch the Eagle. Finally when you could tell it was night out, I was able to convince Kailer that we should "let the mommy sleep." Needless to say, we fired up my laptop first thing this morning and were honored to see the Daddy Eagle (I'm only assuming it was the Dad, I don't know for sure) come swooping into the nest and trade places with the Mommy Eagle. She took off and we got to see the three eggs that the site reported she had been lying on and then the Dad very gently used his talons to scoot the eggs around so that he could nest on them without harm. It really was awesome to watch and I feel blessed that we got to witness that exchange of 'care-taking' this morning. I'd recommend that everyone check it out, it really is cool and fun to watch throughout the day!!
Happy Leap Day!!
