Tuesday Part 2
Hi Folks, We are all waiting with baited breath to see how this nesting season is going to work out. I recently contacted the Regional Bald Eagle Coordinator for FWS, Craig Koppie, and he sent me this message a few minutes ago:
"There could be several reasons for this issue. There could be a replacement nest they constructed during the fall and they are visiting less frequently at their usual location as you suggested. There might be a mate replacement so they are starting later due to a new pairing. Or lastly, they are the same pair and just sense a colder than normal year and are holding off a few weeks or so because of icing on the river and greater snow fall potential. I believe somehow, nature knows."
We know that these are the same two birds, so we need to figure this year's delay is caused by a new nest or the cold weather.
I am betting that the cold weather is impacting timing this year. This is the coldest stretch of weather in many years. Combine the weather with the snow and the iced up river and that's enough to delay things...
So time will tell which theory is correct.
Craig just released a cool book with Teena Gorrow called Inside a Bald Eagle's Nest. Check it out here.

We are all watching to see if a nesting season materializes in the nest this year. In past years we have seen eggs in the next week, with a good deal of presence in the nest during the second half of January.
We suspect that the lack of time spent on the nest could indicate that our pair has another nest, a normal occurrence after using a single nest for this many years. The cold weather could also be an impact, slowing things down a bit.
Time will tell, and I will keep you posted.

I just got the prognosis for the latest problem, and it is not good. The cable used to power the wireless transmitter from the tree to the server has been chewed partially through in multiple places by some sort of small critter/rodent. The transmitter is located about 15-20 feet up the tree, and there is a ton of poison ivy surrounding it and the chewed cable.
We're going to have to take care of the poison ivy, and then see what we can do to get the wireless back, with a new cable. This replacement may not be possible right now, so we could be looking at a problem that ends the season. I'm not going there yet, but we'll need to stand by and see what can be done. We are discussing a few alternatives.
More info when I get it.

Latest on the outage:
"We have preformed two power resets to try and fix the Eaglecam system, but the camera is still not reachable. We explore other options and update you ASAP.

Many thanks to those of you who sent the fruit bouquet. It has been devoured by a grateful crew. It was very kind of you to send it.
