Good Evening, Fellow HatchWatchers!
A quiet day on the nest today!
That gives me a chance to talk about something that is very important to all of us here at the MN Bound nest. We all want to protect this nest. A lot of the chatters and all of the mods know where this nest is. The events of last year let a lot of people have a look close up at where this nest is. It has been decided this year not to discuss where this nest is on the cam site to help keep people away. There have been incidents at other nests where people have tried to molest the nests and cams. This nest is on private property and we also do not want trespassers on the land it sits on. So, any reference that localizes where the nest location is, other than Central Minnesota, in the Social Stream or chat when it is open will be deleted. If the chatter persists they will be BANNED. No exceptions. We want this cam to be enjoyed by all and not spoiled by a few. Thank you all for keeping this cam as enjoyable as it has been. We look forward to many more years of superb eagle watching.
On to the nest antics of the day.
There were not many LOL. The morning started cold and rainy with Mom getting her feathers wet and looking like she needed a spa appointment. Dad continued his stick OSD and brought a few more in. He also spent a good deal of time rearranging the ones he already brought in. Later in the day both he and Mom were bringing in nest stuffing to help fill the nest bowl in preparation for the eaglets to come.
We had several classes join us today and we were very happy to have them. The kids in the classes ask such interesting questions. It is our privilege to help further nature education with this nest anytime we are able.
