Thursday June 8

It was a big day yesterday, and thanks to all who kept me up to speed while I was battling the traffic of DC.

I'm out of the office again today, but will check in a the office to see if we can get any additional info about the fledgling or the other two.

Acouple of snapshots of the recent eagle watching visit. Top shot is of our own Jo from MD.

More later.

Monday June 5

Lots of activity today and some speculation here that the oldest could have fledged or may fledge soon. More when we know more.

Update: 11:20 had a good visit with some guests from the blog. Our concensus right now is that none of the eaglets has fledged yet. Thanks everyone for coming, we'll post a few pictures soon.

Friday June 2

We are doing a lot of maintenance on our closed circuit tv systems today and that is impacting the cams--they are down right now.

In the meantime, I'll post a number of shots taken by NCTC folks recently. The one above was taken by Todd Harless and shows one of the adults in their watch over the nest mode.

More pics soon.

Thursday June 1

Back from DC. Another hot morning. The live cam is up. Still need to get a report from Karen for everybody.

Wed. May 31

In DC all day and just had time now to check in. Big storms this early AM, and the weather is supposed to moderate.

Sorry for the continued issues with the live cam. I'll be at NCTC tomorrow, so I'll pursue a better fix. Next thursday night is an evening lecture series program at NCTC. If you come out for the show, this time on Green Infrastructure, featuring my colleague Mark Benedict at the Conservation Fund, you'll be able to get a great view of the nest. More info at training.fws.gov then click on events and Conservation and Community.

Tuesday May 23

It is an amazing day here weatherwise--truly a bluebird day in West Virginia. A deep blue sky, 53 degrees and a 35 degree dewpoint! Was in the 30s this am!

Our eagles are very active.

A few questions from Sunny:

"A couple of questions: Are the adults still beak-feeding the eaglets? And since the adults aren't on the nest very much any more, is one always in sight of the nest, or are they 'out and about' all day? Thanks for educating us!"

The eaglets tend to be helping themselves nowadays. About 9:15 this AM one of the adults brought in a fresh fish, and they all started in on it. The other adult even came in for a minute or two to get a few bites. Regarding the adults, there does always seem to be one within a few seconds of the nest. Often they are perched in the sycamore nest tree or in an adjacent tree.

Monday 22 May

Lights, Camera, Action.

Back from NE and see that the cam is on. Great work NCTC Folks.

More later.

Hi Steve,

It appears that there is some problem with the camera at the tree end. We
went to the bottom of the tree today and could not get a video signal on
the portable monitor. John and Mike are thinking on it, and if they come
up with any ideas, we'll give it a try.

Folks, we will do everything we can to get this thing going again. Please bear with us.
