Interesting discussion going on in NE FL Chat about the gestation period and incubation. It seems that it takes about 70 hours for an egg to form and be laid. The parent eagle will modify incubation to allow all eggs to hatch at about the same time. So even though it may be two days between eggs being laid, the hatching may be closer together based on how they are incubated. The example they were using is the eagle pair at Pigeon Forge, Indy and Frank, and the two eggs they hatched last year on the same day.
One person commented that "it also helps to prevent the first hatch from having too much size advantage. They aren't nice to each other when hungry, and especially if first is female."
"The longer I live, the more beautiful life becomes...if you invest in beauty, it will remain with you all the days of your life." Frank Lloyd Wright
Thank you Ms BUNNIE for the screen shots and the videos posted. Of course, when I had to take a late lunch, Juliet waits and lays her egg!! But I'm happy we have such great chatters here with their snippy fingers on "go". I couldnt ask for a better bunch of Raptor enthusiasts This was the day I picked for Juliet to lay, so I am a happy camper!!

Very nice video published by Carolyn Stalcup Published on Nov 15, 2013 Romeo and Juliet (resident Bald Eagles of a NE Florida nest) have been preparing the nest for weeks in anticipation of eggs to come. "Nestorations" have been in full swing - Romeo has brought in many, many sticks (which have been arranged and rearranged multiple times) as well as fluff for the nest bowl. We have watched them bring in fish and other small wild life, we have watched visitors come to the nest - a Peregrine falcon, an immature Bald Eagle, owls, a lizard, the ever-present bugs ---- keeping us occupied as we waited patiently (sometimes not patiently) for this BIG EVENT. On Nov. 14, 2013, at 1:42 EST, the first egg was laid. This is a composite from the day's events.

Great videos. Great music. 
I appreciate all the hard work and time that went into making them.
