Wow..That's something most people wouldn't see in a million years.. Long live the internet!.. Has anyone seen the vid of the baldheaded eagle snatching a salmon out of the lake? Something really worth seeing:

Little birds disturb sitting eagle. Time for exercise and a sing-song with partner who flies onto branch (unseen).

A weird phenomenon since I've been recording Decorah eagles on pop-out with the browser closed down (well, that's what I figure)... I'm getting their sound on top of owl recordings even though Ustream (eagles) is not open ??? Eg: So I went to the eagles site to see what was going on, and came across this pic of MrsE when it snowed: QUOTE: It was hard not to feel sympathy and concern for Mom last night as she lay in the nest after egg #2, rapidly disappearing under a blanket of snow. Fortunately, she had roughly 7,000 feathers to protect her from the weather.... The snow piling up on Mom's back last night provided a clear picture of the insulative properties of feathers: Mom wasn't losing enough heat to melt the snow away from her back. I wish my roof was so efficient.![](http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y40/satissa/Eagles%202012/feather_anatomy.jpg) The nest today (MrsE just gone for a break): ![](http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y40/satissa/Eagles%202012/2012-02-2312-52-37_UstreamTv-Opera.jpg)

Scylla as my resident bird expert ![:D](//storage.proboards.com/2973975/images/30yfTjP3QPippj7hX3wK.gif) will those eggs be warm enough on their own like that ? I thought birds had to sit on them constantly. :-[

I thought birds had to sit on them constantly. :-[ No Jemmy, the eggs musn't overheat either, and the parents know how long to leave them (I just read that on the Dec eagles blog). Boiled eggs won't hatch ![;D](//storage.proboards.com/2973975/images/uKg77DgrQpkBFJJN7U0P.gif)
