Do you know if leap year and daylight saving time were taken into account?

 

No but I have an update 

 

Egg #3:  13 d

Egg #4:  16d 

Not that I'm obsessed, but the DC Eagles were getting it on a number of times last week. 

 

I listen to the sound of the feed.  Makes me feel like I'm outside in a field in my hunting days

 

When it gets noisy I watch the feed

Eagles are everywhere now. Just goes to show how well our environment is doing.

 

They have to be off the protected, endangered list... Right?


probably not.  
 

Open those floodgates OOPS wrong words with EII and it may reverse too quickly 

 

In the 2 years since @flaz last updated this thread these are the first chicks that I recall in VA/DC

Wrong.  They have been off the endangered list since 2007. 15 long years. Chick's gotta be hatching somewhere!

 

Maybe the environment still sucks there. 😉 😜 

 

Msybe I should have said: "Almost everywhere."

They seem to prosper very well in your neck of the country

Yeah..  They live on the South Side right near SuperFund sites.  Rats of the sky.  Ben Franklin pushed for the wild turkey as America's symbol because of the eagle's lack of morality. 😆...

 

"...The eagle has been the nation’s symbol since 1782, when Congress chose its image for the country’s official seal — over the loud protests of Benjamin Franklin, who preferred the wild turkey and called the Bald Eagle a “bird of bad moral character.” ..."

 

I shot this picture back in 2018. Right over the lock... 600mm & teleconveter:

At least here they are everywhere.  I got pics of them on powerlines, transformers, etc... lol..  "Rambunctious Garden." They are doing quite well.  

 

One thing I never realized is they are here year 'round... Just don't see them outside of winter because in winter they become more noticeable around the open waters.

Just got back from two weeks in Alaska.  Eagles are everywhere, but saw the most south of Anchorage, in the Kenai peninsula.

There's a bunch in the so tier kind of near Salamanca. People get out of their cars on 17 to take pics. Nothing like traffic doing 75 coming around a bend and there's a family walking around on the highway. They do it all the time on Perimeter Rd on the blind turns as well. They'll see an eagles nest on a pole slam on their brakes and next thing you know there's 30 people wandering aimlessly in the middle of the road.

When I moved to Delaware, I was so surprised by how many bald eagles we saw when kayaking. They were everywhere.
