On Sunday, May 1,  Four Rivers Native American Drum performed a concert at the base of the nest tree to honor Mom Eagle and send prayers for strength to Dad Eagle and the eaglets.  Chris7 from the Norfolk forum recorded it...it's in 6 parts.  The links are in the forum post.  The drumming begins in earnest in part 3.

Is there anything else as peaceful as the sight of a peregrine sitting on eggs?

If there is, I haven't found it

  I missed it-I was having my dinner too-hope they show themselves!

Eyas(es) just too far out of frame-can't get a beak count yet!  

The eaglets were just weighed and NV had another blood test...

"Ed Clark, WCV:
Okay, some news----good news at that. They have already run the blood test on NV. His blood lead level has dropped to "low" which is a big improvement. The testing equipment can still detect some lead, but at levels too low to measure and quantify. That was part of the goal of the day. No treatment for this condition will be required. "

Excellent news!

Punk hairdo, dirty beak, egg poking out...yup, it's Archer!

I think we have a second hatch...stay tuned...

I don't have my lightening tools available here, but it looks like another shell to the right of #1
She's back on them now...

I think we have a second hatch...stay tuned...

I was just reading that-interesting that the youngest has lead in his blood.  Hopefully the level will be down soon...

I always love when they do this 

When I see this position, I think of "Shield your home"...you know that commercial for Sloman! 

And I always think of this picture...

,,,my grandmother had this over the bed where we slept at her house...

Make the browser window wider if you can. The pictures will return to side by side.

Eggsactly how big is your screen Shaky?    I tried on my monitor (a measly 19") and then on a 22" monitor on a lab machine, and I couldn't get the pictures to display side by side on either of them.  That's going to be a real bummer when fledge time comes!  Wish there was a way to put a scroll bar down the side of the window for those of us who can't see them side by side.

What I wound up doing was shrinking the window (ctrl -) so the insets were small enough to fit side by side.  The resolution wasn't great, but OK when it's wandering time.  I'm back to full size (ctrl 0) for hatch watch.
