Saturday

New thread.  Nature can be brutal.  Let's keep our fingers crossed.  At least the storm has passed.

Saturday

The perseverance of these eagles is best noticed today, as the snow continues to fall and the nest continues to accumulate more snow.  Remember that this is more than a month earlier than the last time weather caused disaster for the nesting season.  Even if they give up on this egg, (which I doubt) there is plenty of time for additional eggs.  Keep your fingers crossed.

Evening thread.

Thanks for sending me the picture of the owl.  Hard for me to tell what the species is from the photo.

Could be a Great Horned, but could also be a Barred owl, which are very common around here. While owls might be a threat, they have always been around the Shepherdstown nest, and will continue to be.  I think the threat is minimal.

Perhaps some of you will remember when a red tailed hawk, also very common around here,  got too close to the nest when there were you in it.  One of the adult eagles "took it out" in a very violent fashion, as witnessed by a couple of NCTC folks.

The cam is obviously giving us a great deal of trouble.  Yesterday afternoon we determined that the damage caused last week by the wind also impacted the power supply to the cam and perhaps the cam as well.  We are working closely with a top Fish and Wildlife Service Bald Eagle expert on the best time to go up in the nest at this late time to replace the cam and cables.  Right now, the window for doing this is mid next week.  More when we know it.

Cold and windy thread.  I suspect the cam issues are related to the wind...  they're working on it.

And my very best holiday wishes to all of you out there in eagle land.  We have been testing the live cam and it is getting close.  Our new partner is The Outdoor Channel.  No link for the cam yet, but hopefully soon.


Also, remember to check out my Friend Pete's canoe blog and cam,  he's working hard all alone today.
