Hey everyone! Second pip confirmed! I don't know how to get the screenshots but the confirmation is from RRP. Looks like the meal is now gone and all quiet at the nest. 11:00 pm my time (10:00 at the nest) and still over 23000 watching!

Brilliant news - thanks WS and Ronnie

Had a quick check just now - sadly I am having a problem with Msnap so couldn't take any photos. Someone is sitting on the next anyway and all is quiet, apart from the wind.

All sorted

Thanks Ronnie just seen that, I'll PM you a link for a Free Download programe that you can use to take screen shots Ronnie .I think its Mum on the nest now, she usualy does the night shift, and yes its still windy, thats why the parents are not standing up much as they usualy do, they are keeping very low when moving around sl its difficult to get shots.
The new hatchling is callede D12, they do'nt name wild animals, but use numbers instead.
If your having a problem with MW3Snap, and cant sort it Lai, uninstall it, and download it again, if you need the download link let me know, and I'll PM it to you

WS - my laptop had decided not to oblige so I started again!

Shame about the name, it's not that catchy really is it?

**Laikipia** Wed Mar 28, 2012 5:24 pm

Taken just now ....

**whitestarling** Wed Mar 28, 2012 5:55 pm

Great shots Lai, I've never managed to get a shot of the Eagle on a branch. Well done. As regards the name I think D is Dohhhh

WS -

It was just lucky timing with the cam panning round. I'm hoping it will do the same again tomorrow.

Lai

**Doogs** Wed Mar 28, 2012 9:34 pm

Just over 55,000 looking at the nest online when I checked just now. Doesn't seem to be quite as windy as yesterday Cool

Great pics Lai Pai, especially the ones on the branch, excellent :)

Good to hear we have a second 'pip' confirmed cheers

Excellent pics everyone! It is wonderful to see they have finally arrived, now only one straggler to go. I found out just recently we have a nest on UStream right here in Va, just up the road from me. They had two eggs and the little ones are now almost two weeks old! Though the eaglets have yet to be named they ran a contest here to name the mating pair and Virginia and James are their names. The nest is on the James River and i guess Virginia is self explanatory. Oops! Am I allowed to mention other nests here! Decorah Eagles - Page 3 40683

I sneaked a peek today at work on the phone and there were over 64000 watching!

Ronnie

**whitestarling** Wed Mar 28, 2012 11:39 pm

You certainly are Ronnie the more the merrier. You could start a new thread with the Ustream link on it as well then we can all have a look. Its nice that they name thier Eagles as well, much better than D12 & D13
WS

RMorr50912 Wed Mar 28, 2012 11:45 pm

I check in on the social stream from time to time and people are always getting in trouble for mentioning other nests. Not sure what the big deal is about it but they really don't like it. I like that idea may have to get Virginia and James their own thread. When i checked earlier today only about 1000 watching our Va Eagle family.

Ronnie

**whitestarling** Wed Mar 28, 2012 11:57 pm

Yes I've noticed tha,t as well, the Mods are funny about some things. I posted that I was watching from the UK the other night, and got pulled on that scratch

could'nt understand that one. I would have thought they would have been pleased to know people are watching it from all over the world. Would be really good to put Virginia & James on
WS

**Laikipia** Thu Mar 29, 2012 8:04 am

Strange that WS - you'd think they'd be pleased we are watching from the UK!

Lai

**whitestarling** Thu Mar 29, 2012 6:48 pm

Well I know we are pleased when we get people all over the world following our Forum, so I did find it strange, however I have to say that the Mods on there, do a really good job, of keeping the chat free of inapropiate language, links, and other things, whenyou consider the number of people viewing, and posting.
Another shot of D 12

Just looking in quickly before work, great to see the eggs have hatched and D12 is gorgeous, wished the name was better though......like the names of Ronnies Eaglets, much better to have names. I haven't got time to check the cam which is a shame but love the pics that have been posted, thanks for the pics and updates everyone cheers

**Laikipia** Fri Mar 30, 2012 7:46 am

**Doogs** Fri Mar 30, 2012 2:03 pm

Surely R2D2 would be a better name than D12 !!! Laughing
