Just back from DC. Here's the scoop on today's activities.
Our tree folks came out this morning, and after some observation and long discussion, it was decided that the tree was not safe enough for our climber to get up into the nest. Our nesting tree is slowly deteriorating, and a number of the limbs that support the nest are dying or dead.
This does not mean that getting our guy into the nest would have caused something catastrophic to happen, but it did mean that we were concerned enough about his safety that we could allow the work to happen today.
Our next step is to consider some alternatives, and we have targeted this Friday as the next day we can attempt to get the new cam in place.
Will keep you posted.

Sitting in the Charleston SC airport after meetings this week.
Here's an update on the cam progress: We purchased a very nice high definition cam that will greatly improve the video coming from the nest. This cam did not have audio, so we needed to devise a way to include audio, as well as a better mount. In addition, there are more complicated networking issues related to the new cam, and these issues needed to be solved, including purchasing some additional equipment.
All said, John, Rob, Ryan, and others have been working hard to make sure the system works well before we go up in the nest. Will let you know when we're ready to go, I hope very soon.

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.
