Birds Australia's Sea-EagleCAM, monitoring a nesting pair of White-bellied 
Sea-Eagles at Sydney Olympic Park. The first chick hatched on Sunday 14th 
August, the second chick hatched on Monday 15th August.
It was interesting that the eggs were laid three days apart and they hatched 
one day apart. We did notice that after the first egg was laid they left the 
egg uncovered for long periods up to three hours even at night. The female 
would stand on the nest and tuck her head under her wing and sleep like that 
for hours, then occasionally sit on the egg. She was obviously delaying the 
incubation till the second egg was laid. These observations were 
possible because of the HD camera and the Infrared lighting. It is available 
24/7 to see closeup the new chicks at www.ustream.tv/seaeagles.
