First mating observed and recorded!

Hi all, I am happy to say that along with the restorations to the nest that we have observed we have also witnessed the first mating attempt of the season by these eagles. CLC a members of our online community has posted a video link of the mating attempt. Thanks CLC!

Obviously, this is a good sign of the season and of the birds intention to nest this year. Let's keep our fingers crossed for continued activity. Thanks for your posts and please keep up with your questions.

Welcome to a New Year

Hi All,
I am so happy to report that we have have been seeing frequent visits by eagles at this nest recently. These observations are a good sign that the birds are preparing to nest. Yesterday, in fact, both eagles visited and continued to move sticks around and prepare the nest bowl. Earlier in the day we captured this photo of a single bird making some restorations to the nest.


Please send along your questions and observations to help enrich the dialogue on this blog as we get ready for what will hopefully be an exciting year at this nest.

All the Best,

Yesterday: An eagle eats and a raven visits

Hi All,
I am very happy to report yesterday's visit. An eagle fed for sometime and was visited by a raven that crept right into the nest-bowl presumably scavenging for food morsels.
Others have posted many photos on our online community site at: please visit us there for more details. We plan to post here once a week.

Thanks and all the best!

October 'nestorations' continue.

Hi All, many thanks for your comments regarding your observations of eagle activity at the nest. This has been a common trend for this pair and a good sign that they are considering nesting. Let's keep our fingers crossed!

As you can see even without eagles the view is great.

Image adjusted

Hi all,

Well, it has been a slow year at the nest but nice to see at least the infrequent activity that we have observed. I've been able to restore the still image on this breezy late September day. Enjoy the webcam and please visit us at www.briloon.org to learn more about the work that we do.

All the Best,

Camera Down!

Hi All,

Just wanted to let you all know that this last storm before the Fourth of July has crashed our camera. We hope to be back up and running soon. I'll post when we are live.
