DULLES GREENWAY EAGLE CAM 2.17.24 ROSA COVERED IN SNOW, LEWIS ALMOST INCUBATES

[@carolvoccia6384]

What is the matter with Lewis? He doesn't seem to know what to do and I haven't seen any food in the nest. Rosa seems to be wondering what is going on with him. I sure do miss Martin and I'm sure Rosa also misses him especially now!!❤❤

Lewis appears to be young and immature, and this is probably his first female with eggs...he needs to learn, and quickly. His attitude reminds me of Beau from the NEFL nest. You're right, we all miss Martin

[@carolvoccia6384]

The first egg looks much bigger than the second egg from Rosa. She will need help for her eglets when they hatch. ❤

@@carolvoccia6384 Let's hope that the eggs hatch, it's far from certain, given the time that the eggs remain without being incubated... Lewis, Rosa needs you. Crossed fingers

[@carolvoccia6384]

I sure hope they hatch that will be great! I'm praying that they do. Orion, Pi, Pat and Flora are wonderful eglets and I hope they are all doing well. 🙏

@@carolvoccia6384 We all hope so, Lewis isn't Martin, but maybe he will be

Is this their first time being parents ?

[@mehdib9035]

Yes, it's their first time together. Martin was Rosa's partner, and they raised 3 beautiful eaglets last season. Sadly, Martin is no longer with us and this new companion, Lewis, seems young and inexperienced... hopefully he'll learn quickly!
