WHAT TO LOOK FOR JUST BEFORE EGG-LAYING

Just wanted to mention-WHAT TO LOOK FOR JUST BEFORE EGG-LAYING:
Female sitting down on nest more and more. Female reluctant to leave the nest area. She sleeps in nest all night. Male may bring fish for her to eat.
EGG-LAYING: Female's feathers stick out like a porcupine. Her body starts contractions, every two or three seconds. She opens her beak a quarter inch and emits grunts with each contraction. This may last for 3 or 4 minutes. When egg comes out she stands over it allowing it to dry. After this you will see a lot of eagle raising up over the egg/eggs and turning the eggs.
Which will continue from day 1 of laying egg until 35-40 days of incubation till hatch if egg
is fertile.
