Ok, last one for now. Shadow just came in after Jackie began calling him. It looks to the untrained that one of those eggs had a spot, so not just a dark blotch. I'm keeping my fingers crossed.
Jackie was just changing position, and rolling the #eggs. I'd love to say I know enough to spot a pip when I see it, but it is exciting to see dark dots on the eggs regardless of what they end up being.
When I see FOBBV releases information on official sightings I'll post for certain.

#eagle #BaldEagle #3Eggs
Thursday #eagle watch for all interested. Still no sign of a pip (eggs are 35, 38 and 41 days old.)
Jackie is on the nest today, looking vigilant as one can hear ravens in the background of the cam.
It is 36F, wind at 6mph, and no current precipitation.

Been MIA, so a quick #Eagle update for anyone in need. There is no confirmed pip (first hole in an egg) yet, so people are watching anxiously. Just dropped by the webcam and it had almost 34k visitors!
It is 40F, with 10mph winds, and no current precipitation. Hoping for good news soon, or think of all those disappointed elementary schools...

My last #eagle post for a while, and while there is no egg report, I did manage to capture a photo of them.
The weather has taken a turn, and it is snowing some up there at 7,100ft. The wind is currently 17mph gusting to 42, so, wow.

Friday's recap (on Facebook, so I'm no expert) on #eagle watch is much better than anything I can do. Many, many photos but no alt-text I'm afraid. They were very descriptive, however.

Jackie, the female is one the nest, after one earlier respite. She looks alert. No word/observation of any pip or egg activity yet.
Please consider supporting the nonprofit, too, they do amazing work.

A breezy day at noon on #eagle watch, the first day a "pip" (or the initial opening in an egg) is possible. No progress so far.
A prettier, warm day for the male, as he does what the non-profit calls "Daddy duty" and sits the nest for some amount of time. Generally the female takes the bulk of the day, but he seems very motivated to to his part. This is what the gifts of the sticks are intended to show, I'm told.
Good Sunday from #eagle watch, where at 3PM nest-time the male, Shadow is taking his turn on the eggs.
Apparently today he's been there several times already, including delivering a fish for Jackie (although he always has to take a nibble out of it, first)
Currently it is 48F degrees, with almost no wind. It must be very strange to live through the extremes these birds do.
Exciting week, as Feb 29th might be the first movement in an egg. It can take 2-3 days for them to chip out. Three eggs!

Almost 6:30AM now for the eagles, and it is still raining. They haven't gotten much, but with the sound on it feels, well, miserable.
