Cruz Island or go to: http://z7.invisionfree.com/CHIL_EagleCAM/index.php?act=idx

i feel kind of dumb

but what exactly is the hornby wiggle?

[HulaBunee]

The 'Hornby Wiggle' was named after a pair of eagles on Hornby Island, one of the first pair shown nesting on the internet. The male of that pair would grab a branch in the nest and wiggle his body back & forth over the eggs to get the best incubation.
