I’m not clicking on the link but just to be informative **noblebaron** , if this is one of those GOTCHA! type of suprise pages I’m pretty sure the administration frowns on that type of thing.
I’m not saying it is (as I said I’m not going to click on it), but just in case be forewarned.

Again, I read a thread title wrong. I thought it said “FUNNY. Female pokes **me** with a stick!”
What gorgeous birds they are, though!

Well apparently there’s nothing egregiously wrong with the link then - I retract my misplaced concern and offer **noblebaron** an apology that I thought the worst.

**zoid** , its a link to a short clip from a webcam showing a bald eagles’ nest. (I didn’t use the sound.)
Eagles look permanently pissed-off, don’t they?

I’ve been addicted to the Eagle Cam. Their eggs are due to hatch any time now. There are cracks in the eggs andyou can hear pecking.
I saw the female poke the male with a stick today too, so she could sit on the eggs. As it’s gotten closer to hatching, they seem to fight over who gets to sit on the eggs. They are very dedicated parents.
