This so sweet! Why did they addle the other egg? Doesn’t that mean that they shake it so it won’t hatch?
Thanks Nancy. Eggs usually addle when they are not fertilized or when they get chilled or overheated during incubation. When a person shakes an egg they can tell it is addled when there is movement in the egg.

love those goggles … but look look at those little pin feathers on his widdle head!!!!!! SOOO darling!!!!!! Now, doesn’t mom get annoyed at you sticking your lenses in her baby’s face? At 50mm, you were a bit close!!!!! Come, come, tell the story … we’re all waiting to hear!!!!!!
Thanks Lois. Most golden eagle mom’s soar overhead while I am at the nest, but I have met a few over the years that try to remove my head from my shoulders! One struck a lens I was holding up to my face nearly knocking me over. I knew then it was time to leave!
