The eaglets are hatching! John Bunker Sands Wetlands has its first hatch of the season!
JBS 24 hatched and JBS 25 is right behind! Great delayed incubation Mum.
Snow continues to fall on the nest which is about 25 miles from Dallas.
Monty and Hartley are back at the San Jose City Hall scrape ready for another feisty season. SK Hideaways caught them in the mood for a lot of bonding. https://youtu.be/RjN3HDNp_Wo?
And the second eaglet at the Winter Park Bald Eagle nest has been fed well after the eldest ate and ate and went into food coma. There is a lot of food on that nest – this should certainly alleviate some of the tensions.
Take care, everyone. Stay warm and inside if you are in a storm zone. We will have extreme cold for another 5 days or more. It will be so wonderful to be outside again!
Thank you to the cam owners at JBSW and SJCH for allowing us into the lives of our feathered friends. I am always grateful to SK Hideaways and their videos! Thank you.
I went to the UK as a Commonwealth Scholar in 1990 and received my PhD from the University of Leicester in 1993. After three decades of university teaching, I retired to devote my time to the study of raptor behaviour. I am particularly interested in Ospreys and am working on a long term project on third hatch survival and siblicide in these raptors. My blog is a result of a fascination with my local wildlife and the desire to encourage others to love and care for birds! I live on the Canadian Prairies and prior to the pandemic travelled a lot. I am questioning the use of aviation fuel at the moment as we all strive to help our planet. My early research was in politics and art including British public statues exported to Southeast Asia and Vietnam Resistors that contributed much to Canadian ceramics. Books and articles were published on those subjects over a period of 3 decades. Now I am working on books for children so they can learn about the challenges our raptors face.

Thanks for the updates Mary Ann!
It’s some old everywhere. Congratulations to them that are hatching and pipping. I hope the eaglets stay warm and do well. 🙏
You’ll keep warm too!
Have a good evening
