March 29 2024, 6:45 pm - the eagles at our Surrey Reserve bald eagle cam nest in BC laid their first egg of the season at about 1:53 pm on March 27, and we were expecting to see a second egg tomorrow, probably in the early afternoon. Unfortunately, some internal timing was off, and it looks as if Mom Brit went into labor this evening, and the egg came out before it was ready. It appeared to collapse shortly after she rolled it into the nest cup, and she ate the remains of the egg. That sounds a bit odd - but makes a lot of sense because it lets her take back the nutrients that went into making the egg, so there is a chance that she may lay a fully formed egg in another 3-4 days. The video starts with the view from the overhead/North cam, then switches to the South/side view cam so you can see the egg before she rolls it into the nest. There is then a brief segment showing her eating the egg, then the video ends with a look at the remaining egg a little later, showing that it appears to still be intact. You can watch the cams live at hancockwildlife.org/surrey-re... and read more about the eagles on our forum here - forum.hancockwildlife.org/vie... We'll be posting a longer version of the video tomorrow for scientific research, as this is (in my 18 years of watching eagle cams) a relatively rare occurrence. ~JudyB
