The Third Egg

In the afternoon male, followed by a juvie (maybe last year offspring), brought a fish to the nest. Juvie sat on the nearby branch and stayed there unless eagles didn't chase him/her away.

Wow, what a day . Third egg and the juvenile eagle visited the nest too.
Thanks a lot for all your pictures and reports.

congratulations on the three eggs of Emese and Hunor!

and thank you so much for your observations, pictures and videos!

so the eggs were laid on Feb 4, 7 and 11. if i calculated right the chicks are expected to hatch on March 14, 17 and 21 (or there-about) if all goes well. let's keep our fingers crossed.

hopefully the young eagle will not mess around there too much.
- it seemed to me like a 2nd winter juvenile, a Spotty as i called them last winter. it has so much light spots on the feathers that i think it's not last summer's eaglet which are now called 1st winter's juveniles. ist winter birds are more evenly chocolatelely brown all over.

I am happy to have that forum. I saved the link to that cam, but didn't recognize there is something going on there, already

It seems that eagles are still disturbed by the juvie.


They incubate eggs alternately.
