Early this morning the second egg hatches and we see the empty shell at 08:39am. It is later in the morning when we get to see the newest hatchling of Lucina and Caliman! Congratulations! Lucina gets up to take a break and we get to see both chicks and hear their peeps! Lucina comes back and feeds the eaglets and both get bites! When she is finished she moves her leg and we see a Slow Worm (Anguis colchica) wrapped around her talons on her left leg (Caliman brought it in earlier). The eastern slow worm, is a species of lizard in the family Anguidae found in eastern Europe and Asia.
Lucina broods the eaglets but keeps an eye on the slow worm and then she grabs it, breaking it in two - it is very wiggly in her beak. She entertains herself with it for the next few minutes and eats some. Congratulations to our Bucovina eagles on their two eaglets! Thank you for watching!
