Stella Happily Accepts the Meal
When Irv brought the fish, Stella quickly took t from him. She seemed excited about the meal and wasted no time beginning to eat.
After handing off the fish, Irv flew to a nearby branch, where he could watch over the nest area while Stella enjoyed the food. Eagle pairs often do this as part of their teamwork. One parent eats while the other keeps watch. Despite the steady rain falling around them, both eagles stayed focused on their roles as parents.

A Close Look at the Three Eggs
While Stella enjoyed her meal, viewers got a rare and clear look at the nest bowl. The camera zoomed in close, allowing us to see the eggs in great detail. All three eggs appeared intact, dry, and normal, resting safely in the center of the nest. Moments like this are exciting for people following the nest, especially when the camera provides such a clear view.
Stella’s Egg-Laying Timeline
Stella laid her eggs over the course of several days earlier this season.
Her first egg arrived on February 20.
The second egg followed on February 23.
Three days later, on February 26, she laid the third egg.
Since then, Stella and Irv have been working together to care for the nest and keep the eggs protected.
Rainy Weather at the Nest
The weather has been challenging for the eagle pair. During Irv’s fish delivery, the nest was soaking wet from steady rain, and both birds looked completely drenched. Rain is expected to continue through March 5, with a high temperature near 63°F today. The good news is that conditions should improve tomorrow. Forecasters say the rain will move out, bringing partial sunshine and a warmer high around 68°F.
Better weather should help Irv with hunting and give Stella a small break from the rain while she continues incubating the eggs.
A Strong Team Raising Their Future Family
So far this season, Irv and Stella have shown great teamwork at the nest. Stella spends long hours incubating the eggs to keep them warm, while Irv helps by bringing food and keeping watch nearby. Moments like the rainy morning fish delivery remind viewers just how much effort eagle parents put into raising their young.
For now, the three eggs remain safe, and the nest continues to be full of quiet activity as the pair prepares for the next stage of the season. PIP watch.
