I don’t advocate handing your kid worksheets to do if you are unschooling- but I do admit to needing to know for my own edification- and nice to have the facts on hand when kids inevitably ask.

Sidney BC Bald Eagle Nest
The eagle cam is filming the nest located at Saanich, Vancouver Island, B.C., Canada . The live cam runs from 6 am PST to 630pm PST.
Eagle Nesting Time Table
The nest building will continue over January and February. The Eagle eggs will probably be laid late February or first week of March.
At this writing, March 10, 2007 no eggs have been laid yet. Quite exciting as it could happen ANY TIME now

From CTV.ca News Staff
Second eagle-cam egg proves a dud in B.C. nest
Hopes have been dashed for millions of bird enthusiasts who have kept a watchful eye on a B.C. eagles’ nest — via webcam — in anticipation of the hatching of two eggs.
One of the eggs disappeared from the Hornby Island nest last week, leaving observers to pin their hopes on the second egg.
However, Doug Carrick, whose backyard has been home to the birds for 17 years, confirmed Friday the second egg was a dud.
Carrick said all that is left now is a cracked shell, but there is no evidence of a chick.
David Hancock, a biologist who helped bring the eagles’ day to day activities to a global audience, said the eagles are close to the end of their reproductive cycle and may have lost the ability to reproduce successfully.
The eagles did produce two eggs last year. Both hatched, though one died soon after.
The eagle-cam phenomenon has drawn millions of people from around the world to the website, watching day by day as the eagles took turns caring for the eggs and hunting for food.
However, Hancock isn’t about to close the window into the daily lives of local eagles.
He is currently scouting out potential locations to mount another web cam. He has already located a nest in Powell River that has three chicks, and another in Saanich with at least one.
Hancock hopes to have cameras installed and online soon, though both locations are more remote and more difficult to connect than the Hornby site.
“Now the bottom line is, with all those kids out there (viewing) having learned that real life can be harsh, now we’re going to show them chicks that do survive,” Hancock told the Victoria Times Colonist newspaper.
Meanwhile, Carrick, 73, plans to keep the webcam installed at the nest behind his house, so he can continue viewing the day to day life of his eagle neighbours.
He was disappointed that the eagles didn’t produce young, and viewers around the world weren’t able to watch the rearing process.
“I was sort of hoping we’d have one chick because the best part of this for all the viewers would have been from now on,” Carrick said.
“It’s really something to see a big adult tear off a little bit of fish and so gently put it on the mouth of the chick.”
More than 10 million page views have been recorded since the webcam went online.
Late last week there were breathless reports that one of the eggs had begun to hatch, and a chick’s head could be seen emerging from the shell.
After taking a second look at the footage, Carrick said he was mistaken and it was just a piece of fluff.

Also set up by Doug Carrick. Here is quote by him:
It won’t bother the birds at all,” he said. “The favorite perch of these two birds is on another power pole. I have to make sure that having them sitting on the camera isn’t going to damage it.”
The neighbours have been extremely supportive, Hancock said. “They all want the camera in their yard. It’s interesting, I haven’t had a negative comment at all brought up to me in person.
“It’s been absolutely phenomenal.”
B.C. Hydro sent two representatives to help get the pole installed at no cost.
There are supporters, too, of the Saanich nest. The crane and the two big trucks needed to locate it were all donated, said Hancock.
The view of the nests will be comparable to the first nest, he said. He hopes to get the Powell River nest online today, and the Saanich nest soon after.
The nest will be showing at same link as the Hornby Island- here it is New Powell River Live Eagle’s Nest Cam Is is supposed to be up later today.
Also- if you are having withdrawal- you can watch Eagle Nest Cam in Maine, Put on by the NorthEast Utilites System. This eagle’s nest has two babies.

Pretty sad. You see here the dad ( and hearing!) steping on the egg. Then eating it. Really felt like ctying when I watched it. Very sad. I am trying to comfort myself with kowledge that this pair did have 15 live babies over their lifetime.
