They take turns sitting on the nest...constantly.  I agree about the concerns with the cold temps....but like babies eggs come when they come based on when they mated.  The official nest watchers seems to think it could be any day.  Putting the final touched on the nest....like preparing that bowl, also a sign.

Thanks LP.... 
Sort of what I expected. Cold injury is very real. I did NOT realize that optimum temps were that high (99 degrees is really sort of HOT..). Don't think we need to worry about the eggs getting too warm..!! 
Below 29 degrees and the embryos die. So, lets hope they don't lay any eggs right now.!! I am worried about mom and dad too, but the eggs are primary. I can't see them keeping those eggs warm enough during this cold snap.  Maybe the temps will warm up in the next day or two...

Fingers crossed, I guess...

Watched them this morning as the snow was coming down over there. Who ever was on the nest had a good bit of snow on them but they were valiantly making a nice tight warm incubator for their precious eggs. Adult eagles have amazing insulation.  Things looked miserable but they were up to the task and knew just what to do.

Mother nature can scare you to death sometimes!

i think we are 8 days form "pip watch",,,when the fist egg could start to hatch.  Takes a while.  That is an exhausting process for the little eaglet.
