Here is our bored young eagle, almost ready to fly and waiting for the big storms that will soon rumble through.

Back from seven days off the grid in the North Maine Woods. No computers, only the river, moose, lots of bald eagles, and the wild.

New thread.
We had our resident eagle expert take a look at the young eagle after we got calls about its unusual posture while lying down. After watching the bird, Joe thinks that it is ok. he suggests that if the bird is "pooping," it's likely healthy, so keep an eye.
I am heading out for northern Maine tomorrow for a week on the Allagash River. I'll preset some daily threads for the period that I am gone.

Still working on the audio, but they were able to find the problem that killed the sound.

Fresh thread. I'm in Madison Wisconsin this week.
We are wondering how many schools are watching the cam. If you are a teacher who uses the cam in your class, please send me a quick email at the address listed in my profile.

Fresh thread for another rainy day. We spent the day yesterday with the folks from CSPAN. They will air a program in June, which will include some mention of the eagle cam.

Walking in this morning I saw no sign of an adult around the nest, so they are now leaving the eaglet alone a bit.

Wednesday Part 2
For a few weeks now we have been working with a FWS partner, My Outdoor TV, to figure out a way to get our eagle cam video out to more folks, with smooth video and sound. My Outdoor TV is a fantastic website that is filled with video programming for folks interested in a variety of outdoor activities, soon to include the NCTC Eagle Cam.
This should solve the shaky video and lack of audio caused by the tight bandwidth.
We will be changing the link as soon as testing is completed. The only difference in what you'll see, besides smooth video and audio, is that you will see the video on a My Outdoor TV site, which includes some ads and a variety of other links. It's a really cool site, and we really appreciate their interest in working with us.
More soon.

New thread. We are making great progress on a new site for the video feed with a great deal more bandwidth--audio and video. We may get this online this week, knock on wood.

We are working with a third party partner to provide a website that would deliver our live feed with a great deal more bandwidth. John is working with them this week to see if this will work. Stand by.

Here's a great shot of the first hatchling:
We have looked at our closed circuit feed and we feel the other two eggs are still in the nest. The live feed problems are due to Comcast and the folks here are working to fix them...

Here's some relevant information from the Cooperative Extension System.
New thread.Usually, 2 (1 to 3) white or mottled brownish eggs are laid after nesting behavior begins. The eggs hatch after a 35- to 45-day incubation period. Both adults hunt and secure food for the young, with the female doing most of the incubating, feeding, and brooding. Young eagles become strong enough to tear meat apart by 50 days of age. They are fully feathered and ready to leave the nest 65 to 70 days after hatching. Although the young are as large as the adult birds at this time, their parents may continue to provide them with food and protection for as long as 3 months after they leave the nest.
Not all eagle eggs hatch, and the death rate of young eagles, as in other birds of prey, is high. Young eagles are antagonistic toward each other and the stronger often kills or causes the weaker to die of starvation. Losses due to exposure, diseases, parasites, and predation occur while the young are still in the nest. Up to 75% of the young eagles die during their first year due to starvation, disease, and causes directly or indirectly associated with humans.

We missed the snow thread.
Update: here's a picture from the Blackwater cam for those that have not seen it--the first eaglet. Picture by Megan Webber.
