The nestcam is back, now with sound.
The osprey couple from last year is back, but another couple also claims the nest. Who will win the right to it? Time will show.

Re: Live from the eagle's nest
Where am I at in the post apocalypse draft? When do I start getting picks? Because I want this guy. This guy right here. I will regret not being able to claim the quote, "The first I noticed while burning weed, so I burned it, aiming at its head first. It wriggled for about 10 seconds. Too long... I then fetched an old machete [+LITERALLY ANYTHING]"

The original couple won and there's 3 eggs in the nest. It's all routine now. Male hunts fish, gives fish to female. Female flies away to eat while male keep the eggs warm. Female return after a while and they swap. Male goes hunting. Repeat.

Two eaglets have hatched! Hopefully, both will survive into adulthood.

Re: Live from the eagle's nest
A local nest had a tragedy happen.
Mother was injured somehow, had a massive hole in her hip but she'd made it back to the nest and the babies, which were not yet fledglings. A photographer who'd been following the family realized Mom was dead, the babies in trouble, and Dad wasn't able to feed them properly.
Three Rivers Avian Center (TRAC) rehabbers were contacted, and the babies have been rescued and put in rehab. The babies are "thin, but healthy", and they'll be cared for until they're fully fledged and able to fly properly, then released either back near the nest if Dad is still around, or in another area of New River with ospreys.

Me: Nope, that's why I have you around to tell me.
Nitram: You -are- beautiful. Anyone tries to tell you otherwise kill them.
