News from the black eagle nest! Here’s the latest: We think the first egg was laid on 28 April. The second egg was only spotted this past weekend for the first time. On the weekend, one of the eagles was seen pecking at an egg, but we believe the second egg is still intact. We’re not sure if it’s the first or second egg since they usually lay a few days apart. Only one chick usually survives because of something called obligate cainism - basically, the stronger chick outcompetes the other. If the second egg doesn’t make it, the eagles tend to abandon the nest. Last year, when this happened, the parents spent less and less time there after the second egg was found to be cracked.
If the first egg was laid on 28 April, and with a typical 44-day incubation, we’re hoping the hatch will happen this week!
We’ll keep an eye on things and share more updates soon. |
