Yes
Two eggs in the nest again with mom and pop taking turns keeping them warmed and turned. Hatching isn't to far away according to the eagle watch forum.

Thanks, TD and jimmycee. I wonder of E8 survived the winter.

**jimmy cee** 12/18/2016, 10:29 pm

I recently read where a single young eagle was checking out the nest from afar. Some believe it was E-8

Perhaps he wanted to go home to mom and dad and live in their basement? After all, he is still a kid for the next four years.

I read today that one egg is moving.

M15 is such a good mate and father. It is amazing to me that both the male and female are so adept in the nursery.

**jimmy cee** 12/30/2016, 9:01 pm

Recent comments made on the eagles chat room indicate M15 was responsible for Ozzies death. The two eagle fought over control for Harriet..
I'm not doing anything out side gardenwise. Rye grass is still looking good, compost piles are quiet.

Looks like E9 will be an only child. No neck-battles at feeding time.

I just checked on the site and I see one chick and one egg.

**sanderson** 1/12/2017, 12:40 pm

Reported that the egg is not viable. Sad

Thanks, sanderson; I did not read further. (My lazy letting others do the work Very Happy

)

E9 is looking healthy. Just starting to peck at the meals and fed himself a bit. Fuzzy little (big) thing.

**Kelejan** 2/4/2017, 3:00 pm

Checked on the eagle nest and see that Harriot is still sitting on one egg. Could she have laid another one to take the place of the nonviable one?

**sanderson** 2/5/2017, 1:18 am

I don't think she laid a third egg. I watched E9, or is it 10, trying to roll it. I keep checking on the web site.

**jimmy cee** 2/5/2017, 10:57 am

In past seasons I kept my computer glued to this nest in Florida, this year I havent even remembered it was there.
In past years when an egg was not doable, they simply disappeared. I believe there is a time frame an eagle egg must be fertilized, laid and hatched. Any time past this period has negative affects on the egg. I dont think an eagle can lay another egg after the time designated is over...maybe I'm wrong.

**Kelejan** 2/5/2017, 2:14 pm

If Harriott did lay another egg, the resulting chick would be squashed by its elder sibling. I expect Harriot's hormones would be shut down while she concentrated on her one chick. He seems to be growing very quickly.

**Kelejan** 2/6/2017, 11:37 am

Said "Good Morning" to Harriot and E9. He is getting to be almost as large as his mom. They are resting, with a large piece of fish still in the nest. I bet H is having an easier time looking after one chick.

**sanderson** 4/15/2017, 1:09 am

E9 has fledged! Forgot about him.

Bon Voyage, E9.

**sanderson** 4/15/2017, 3:18 pm

He still likes for mom and dad to feed him. He hasn't learned to fish yet. Wait, sounds like he still lives in his parent's basement. Very Happy

**trolleydriver** 4/17/2017, 9:25 am

I don't know if it is the camera angle or what but he looks huge compared to his parents.
