Shepherdstown, West Virginia 2011

[Annie]

Belle(?) just left.
The Chick moves quite briskly nest hole and screams her mother after thank god... between resting.

[Annie]

Mom came back - and left again. Can't see or hear anything else what can be seen in these pics. I wish I was there.

[Molly]

This seems to be such a sad story But still....let`s keep our hope up that everything would turn out to a better direction in the end

Mom back. Like she would have some food in her peak, she "fed" the chick. ?? At the nest is not no fish yet. This same action took place also yesterday at least.

Mom is brooding...the egg might already be cracked, if isn't grass...

Here http://www.window-on-wildlife.com/index ... pic=20.330 they think, it would be water what Mom gives to chick.

There you find also a video about this feeding.

Mom is gone and back to the nest. Before he was last, a baby eaglet defecated - - or do I need new glasses?

~ ~ ~
... ... And now Mom quite clearly feeds the baby with something which come out of her beak. At first baby don't react, but the point it picks up and tries to get everything that a parent has to give.

For a long time has been knocking ...

BELLE FEEDS BABY.

17 pics.

[Annie]

Just now : feeding time like before.

Baby makes even tiny jumps towards Moms beak. And Mom makes everything so gently.

[Annie]

After feeded baby... peaceful evening is there, Belle can rest a little...

Quote: I must agree w several who have posted already that we have a 4 yr old dirty girl who didn't breed this yr. She is HUGE. .... Much bigger than Belle, but does not look threatening today at least not to Belle. Cannot confirm sighting of Lib. Questionable. Trudy comes in and sits on the limb above the nest and appears to be more of a guardian than a threat, at least how she may perceive at her young age.

She is dirty girl with size and stature more like a vulcher and still has dark markings on her head and tail. Lib would not stand a chance with this one. I think she, however, is not meaning harm to the nest. Trudy flew in to the nest unattended nest and simply went to the top limb as if in watch. She looked down at lPaddy and Paddy was looking up at her, Perfect opportunity if Trudy wanted to take the nest or the contents within, but she was just in protective mode.

That's all we have folks, wait Trudy just tried to land on the nest from the upper limb I still think she just wants to be a part of it, odd as it seems, she just doesn't know how It all works or she'd have brought a fish by now.

During mom's feeding, eaglet's crop gets bigger.
~

Eaglet has made chick's poop, defecated - yesterday twice.

Perhaps we will get a happier story in the end.

[Annie]

The night is calm and quiet. The moon lightens caring Belle.

[Annie]

Just before taken pic.

The chick is up and moving... can not see the egg more specific ... intruder somewhere above, Belle rocketed after the other. Chick is chirping alone the nest.

[robbo]

All looks ok at the moment

[Annie]

That is truth, robbo. Today has been a more quiet time,

... then Belle again looking up, wailing miserable voice - on the top of camera is someone...

and right now it attacked the nest, Belle chased it away... quickly pass me, seemed to me an eagle.

Don't know what it is, but something Belle is also today giving to the baby eaglet.
