Waiting for one to hatch... They say any time now..
No, I don't think Para was involved.. He's in another state..
I never realized the nests were so big and heavy.. 5-6 feet
across, and weighs appx 1.5 tons. :|

There's a bit of a hole in at least one of the eggs, maybe two. They'll probably hatch out overnight while it's dark, darn it.

I saw one flying over Lake Keystone the other day while on a hike. The Arkansas River below Keystone Dam is apparently a favorite nesting place. It's pretty cool watching them fly over the water, just waiting for some unsuspecting bass to go for that mosquito on the surface.

We used to visit golden eagle nests several times a summer to watch the young grow up and leave the nest. These nests were across a narrow but very deep (1000 feet) canyon. The nests were in vertical cracks in the sheer canyon walls. We'd sit on the opposite rim rock and watch through a 32x spotting scope. My "bird watcher" friends told me that the nests were used generation after generation and that each year the birds added more nesting material. One day while we were watching, a rock climber came by for a chat and said that the previous winter he had climbed that wall and measured the nest we were watching. It was 40 feet tall.
