Monday, January 16 both adults at nest but still incubating?

We visited the eagle nest Monday morning January 15. The first egg is expected to be hatching now. When we arrived at about 8:30 AM we could see the top of the head of one adult bird deep down in the nest.




The bird did move about, but never stood up during the hour or so that we observed the nest. A second adult flew and roosted on the horizontal limb above the nest, began calling excitedly and looking down at the nest. We do not think the female called back.







Then the adult flew off to the east, only to circle behind the nest and take a roost in the dead Melaleuca grove west of the nest.  





A Red-shouldered Hawk was roosting just west of the nest tree.



A Great Egret flew over the nest, and I stitched together 15 sequential images. Here are a few.
