New Thread. December 9, 2017

Well, Judy Eddy, Eagle Eyed Sharon, and I, Hoda, have asked to be designated as Administrators for this blog.
So an update from Steven Chase, “ the camera is up and running.”
We have sighted Belle and Shep.
It is hunting season, do not be alarmed with the sound of gun shots.
Please record your sightings.
We missed those of you who are not on FB.
Hope to hear from you here.
Always remembering Mema Jo and Lynn...
Have an awesome season watching the NCTC nest.
Thank you Steven.
Thank you IT Dept.

Apologies for my neglect on this site. 

I'm thinking that it might be time to conclude this blog, as I started it before the social media revolution, something that has overwhelmed platforms like Blogger.

With great respect to all of you, it just isn't the same without Jo on the blog, I may have done the posts, but Jo was the leader. 

Let me know your thoughts, you can email me at steve_chase@fws.gov.

After a month's hiatus, here's an update.

We headed up in the tree in late August.  We found that both cameras in the tree had been "cooked" by the close proximity lightning strike.  We replace the new cam in the existing mechanical housing, and confirmed that wiring from the nest to the base of the tree was working.  We plan on putting in a heavy duty surge protector to help prevent such catastrophic damage next big storm.  Unfortunately, this area is prone to big lightning,, we have been plagued with this type of damage since we opened in 1997.

We still have some cabling to replace, and once that is done we'll be ready to start to next season of eagles.

Thanks for your patience.

Today's obituary for Jo lets folks know that they can send checks in Jo's memory to the Eaglecam c/o me at the NCTC address.  I will forward anything I get to the Friends of the NCTC, who manage the eagle cam donation account.

For an alternative and quicker method for the eaglecam donations in Jo's memory, use this link .

thanks!
