LIVE WEB FEEDS: Eagles and 3 Eaglets; Owls and 5 Eggs

►Eagles
Live feed of eagles in their 6-foot nest in Norfolk Botanical Gardens in VA.  The parent eagles take turns keeping the three eaglets warm and feeding them.  One or the other will bring food at different times, and the eaglets eat every 30 to 40 minutes.  Some of what I've seen them eat today has been fish according to the Q & A on the live feed website.
The eaglets were born March 11, 13, and 14.  They will stay in the nest around 80 days when they will take their first flight.

Barn owls Molly and McGee are tending to these 5 little eggs which should be hatching any day/time now.  (Scroll down on that site to see the estimated hatch dates.)  I've heard they can take from 11 to 20 hours to fully hatch.  It starts with a small hole that looks like a black dot, and Molly will turn the egg hole-side up.  I see her checking the eggs often.

Here's McGee outside the trap door. ↓

Owls are nocturnal, and McGee comes at night to bring Molly food.  I saw him bring her a mouse last night!  She screeches to call him.  He usually starts coming around 7-8, PST; 10-11, EST.  He comes several times each night. 
At night, it is a little harder to see.  The 'night shot vision' comes on, and everything looks black-and-white.  If you leave it on at night, be prepared to awakened with screeching.  Barn owls are screech owls, after all.

Here's Molly, tucking the eggs under her. →

3/20/10 Q & A with Carlos Royal 
I've been keeping 2 tabs open all day so I can check on both of these!  It's so awesome the way God designed animals with instinct.  They know exactly how to raise and train their little ones.
(If only I could say the same.  Good thing I have God's Word to tell me how!)
