Loon cam live

Good morning. Lee Attix and I set up the loon cam yesterday. You can see the refreshing still image at http://www.briloon.org/watching-wildlife/loon-cam.php. We are currently working on the live video which we hope to have running shortly. Lee is writing on a blog dedicated to the looncam at http://looncam.blogspot.com/. We now have a second camera set up that points out towards the water in order to get a view of what is happening on the water in front of the nest. Our current system only allows one camera to be on at a time. We will switch back and forth depending on where the birds are.

We have confirmed that both the male and female loons from last year have returned, which is a very good sign for successful nesting. Over the last four years the birds have initiated nesting around the third week in May. Generally a week prior to the birds nesting they will start working on the nest site and may copulate on the nest site.

Like the eaglecam, we will depend upon your observations to let us know what is happening with the loons. Please post your comments on the looncam blog.

I am also working on the other cam—I just received another important component which I will deliver to the site today! I will keep you updated on how it all is progressing.

Fundraising update. We are now at $14, 200! Thank you!

Finally have some $$ to send! It's my third season of loon cam and I'm excited. I've watched the WVA eagle nest where they lost their eggs quite a while ago and while they stayed around and mated, nature hasn't rewarded them with more eggs. And it may be that these 2 need a season off.

Wing said something the other day about looking at putting in cams for a peregrine falcon nest and an osprey nest. I've been watching osprey nests all over the world and they seem to be in short supply! Please, give 'em another one. Peregrines, too, seem to need the help and if we get to watch, all the better for everyone.

Thanks for all the work you do to bring us this view of nature which simply cannot be beat. No bugs, no walking, just click and see it right there. I enjoy actually being there, but at work, it's a little hard, so this is great! Keep up the good work.

Hi fellow eagle enthusiasts! Hi Wing and all you people at BRI!
Looks like a sunny, breezy day on the coast of Maine. Here in NH it's a beautiful day.
I see no eagle activity at the nest. I hear no eagle activity off camera. I think I've been checking at the wrong times for I haven't seen the eagles except for the fantastic videos that you computer savvy bloggers have been able to catch. Thanks! Looking forward to the loons,

Hello all bloggers. I was watching today 5/4/07 around 12:10 PM EDT, and saw two eagles copulating again on the Y branch! I believe it is our original Mom and Dad from their behavior. Didn't have sound to confirm the voices unfortunately from where I was using a PC, but they love that branch and Dad flew above Mom and then on her back... just like I'd seen them do several times in the past. So cool to see this "real time"! This pair is something else. One eagle left the nest shortly after. One is still there looking out over the water... just beautiful to see!

Hello, my friends.....

Did you see what I just observed? A little hanky panky between our precious eagles. Dad is frisky with all the nice weather.....didn't see mom running off either.

They flew in at 12:03p. Mom first...dad a minute later. Dad left in three minutes but came back at 12:11p. Now, that breath of fresh air must have got him to thinking...."my mate sure looks pleasant sitting on that limb today....better get back and tend the home front!!"...And tend it, he did. Now what....am I to start counting out 5-10 days again to see if there is a successful copulation? Yeppers...will do. I believe Wing said the latest recording for laying eggs was May 6th , well, we know our couple is capable of anything and everything. I also believe it is the original pair. They never are far off when an intruder jumps onto the nest, even if they have to dive in with an eviction notice!!

Hang in my friends...This pair knows how to perform that will assure even more donations for Wing and BRI.

I am sure loving this day...hope you are too.

Male flew off at 12:22p....mom just sitting there enjoying herself...sounds natural..LOL

Here's hoping for yet a successful hatch.

Great news on the Loon Cam, Wing!

WE HAVE HAD ANOTHER COPULATION!!

12:04, a female arrives on nest - not sure it's Mom anymore. A male - Dad? - arrived a minute or so later and then left at 12:08, only to return at 12:12. While they were on the Y branches together, they copulated at 12:19! At 12:23 the male left. At 12:30 the female is still on the nest and I need to leave for a meeting.

I signed on at 12:07 and found an adult on the Y with lots of calling. I believe this is Ms. Mom.

12:10 - Male arrived, nice flex of left talons, much chatter, high on Y right with no head (again). Male into nest and then back on Y.

12:18 - Copulating; male moves to left of female on Y.

12:21 - Male leaves.
12:22 - Female calling.
13:12 - Female finally leaves.

Unfortunately, I question the male ... never got a good shot of a longer beak. Hopefully one of our video bloggers can isolate and give an opinion. Don't trust my sound for id.

Now, if it was indeed Ms. Mom ... would she have mated with another male? I almost expected Mr. Mom to come flying in to chase away an intruder ... remember, Ms. Mom sat quietly on the branch during one intruder/Mr. Mom altercation. Cannot imagine our pair would have allowed an intruder that much time on the nest. But, also cannot imagine that Mr. & Ms. Mom are still copulating.

Talk about confusion!!

This is my first attempt to blog. Even tho I've watched last year's eaglets grown to fledge, I've been hesitant to write. I've had bad feelings about everyone giving this year's eaglets names knowing the bad weather they were about to endure. I've been very sad to see an empty nest where eaglets should be thriving. I'm very hopeful for the future. This year has been a very interesting and informative year, indeed. I only hope the original mom and dad succeed in renesting. I love the comradary we have all shared. Cheering with the good times and crying with the bad. I was so looking forward to watching the babies grow into adulthood. Living in Mass, I could'nt sleep that night during the nor'easter. I hope and pray along with all of you that they successfully renest and those darn intruders leave them alone.

Good evening,

I am sure Mom and Dad are still in possession of this nest...

Watched the clips the other day and Dad successfully drove off the challenger. Mom was not challenged by another female, and she is also still on the nest.

I also watched Suzanne's clip from today, and Dad's appearance and sound are the same as before. Also, his injured left leg or foot is still evident...he uses it very well, but he is still limping on it. He sometimes resembles Long John Silver with his peg leg.

It is still Mom and Dad, and they appear determined to start a second family this season...hope they are successful.

WING,

I'm sure you will probably get tired of hearing this request...but there are a lot of people who would love to see that beautiful Maine sunrise in color. I just watched in black and white what I imagine was one of the most magnificent yet.

Any chance you could reset the day cam again to come on at Civil Twilight? This morning it was at 4:46 AM and sunrise was 5:18 AM. If it were on at Civil Twilight, we would catch all the morning glow before sunrise. Obviously, it will keep getting earlier through the summer, but if you set it for 4:45 AM, we wouldn't have to bother you for a while. ;o)

It would be so much appreciated because it really is part of the beauty of our nest.

Thanks for any consideration,

Sherri

Good Morning.....05-05-07

A pretty morning at the coast again this morning. The eagles are enjoying temps around 50 degrees with a slight breeze at times. 30% precipitation predicted for some parts of the coast.

We certainly had a good day at the nest yesterday, overall.

Now, I need to depend on you bloggers for some more info:

This is my first year observing the eagles. For those who watched last year, did the parents mate from time to time after the little ones were hatched? Is this behavior ordinary whether they have chicks or not? If not, then I guess we should suppose they are trying for a successful copulation or maybe even more sensible at this later date...Is this ordinary behavior for a pair that has lost their little ones after a hatching, and they fill the void by performing an action that duplicates what they wish could bring them back to square one? Kinda like wishful thinking?

I guess what I am trying to say is....do eagles, in the norm, hanky pank year round. Just because two eagles have a meeting of the mind or whatever (lol) should we expect eggs?

Thanks,

Anna

To Suzanne: your video of 5/4 6:07 was interesting to me for two reasons: I discovered that the audio, like the still cam, is slightly ahead of the video. That explains why I can't see any beaks open when I hear something, and will help to tell who is calling in future. 2nd, there were some human voices very nearby at the end, one female and one male. I hope this was the landowners and not somebody from a boat, but it sounded too close to be in a boat. I also found the Hancock site which you (later) recommended interesting, too, but not nearly as good as "ours." A brief closeup of the parent feeding a chick was nice, and I wish sometimes we could be as close when that happens. But my gosh, the noisiness of that environment makes you really appreciate the Maine setting. Huge airplanes every few minutes, dogs barking relentlessly, etc. There was a nice little wren chirp I enjoyed, however. I guess we should count ourselves lucky, on balance. But the information regarding mating was exactly what we were wanting to know, so thanks for pointing us to it. J in SETex

I will be interested in reading the other blogs in hopes maybe someone else was lucky enough to see them on cam. I have heard an eagle in the distance but that does not mean they are "our" pair. Other than when the storm was at its worse, I have always seen them at least once during the day, it seems.

I am wondering if there is action going on at the tree site, maybe clean-ups after the storm, people mulling around...it just doesn't feel right to me.

Our eagles were so happy, mating and all two days ago...now nothing.


Has something been changed around there? I cannot even see an intruder trying to take over an empty nest. Usually, when a nest is left unattended something comes along and tries to move in and our pair of eagles come out of nowhere to defend the homefront.

Why is it so quiet.....as if everything has been scared away. An occasional crow but something does not seem right.

Maybe this site needs to be checked again? I hope my concern is not necessary but........

I would get tire of trying if that were me, the discouragment these two have had to deal with is unbeliebable. I am anxious waiting the loons nesting. It would be fun to watch a mother deer and her baby, as I have never seen one. Must run now and think about supper. Loon and eagle fan in Palermo, Maine.

Anna is right. So even if our eagles had lost interest others would be trying to take over. But there are no attempts to do so.
Something is very weird.
The only thing I can think of now is that our pair will check in once a week, just to keep the nest their own. I think I've read that they do that. But why no intruders in the meantime?
I did hear the male again, but not the female. I miss them.

Hi all. Just checking in. It's twilight and there's no one at the nest but I hear a couple of eagle cries closeby. Maybe these eagles found out we were "spying" on them. lol Like Anna said things seem strange. I hear dogs barking and yesterday I could hear motorcycles and human activity. Perhaps there is a public beach nearby and we're just hearing normal summer noise. Well. It sounds like their familiar cries nearby so I think they are still there. More loud motorcycles.

Remember a while back we heard saws? It's perplexing. I hope our eagle pair is doing fine. I'm sure they are. Since the storm there are a lot of homeless birds and there's a lot of commotion going on. (I'm guessing here) I hope everyone has a nice week! Wow..this wknd. flew by so fast for me. Spooky empty nest. I miss the eagles.

Monday 05-07 4:45 A.M. E.T tuned in to find mom and dad standing in nest. Appeared to be doing a bit of housekeeping. Dad stepped over to side and mom settled down in nest. She gets up at appx. 4:55 A.M. E.T. and they both proceed to look into nest and at each other for a bit then mom pecks dad on head several times and he sits down in nest as she moves to the side. After a minute she hops up on Y branch and flies off at appx. 5:03 A.M. Dad stays on nest until appx. 5:13 and then flies away.

We saw both Mom and Dad on the nest early this morning at 4:47 AM. They flew in "together" (one right behind the other) after some chatter.

They remained there a while. At first they looked over the nesting material and picked at it.

They seemed very affectionate. It looked as though one of them would nestle into the nest bowl, at one point, and at another point it looked as though they would mate. But they didn't. Toward the end of their visit Dad was either lying on the nest bowl or sitting very low on the edge of the nest.

Mom flew to the branch and left first, at 4:55 AM followed by Dad at about 5:15 AM.

A Happy Monday Morning to You All..

A quiet, calm, clear sunny day at the coast line this morning. The temp is hovering around 47 degrees but with expectations of it rising to the 60's today.

I see no action, once again, at
the nest site...oops, as I write this, I can hear the male nearby. It is 7:35 a.m. Now, that is the way I would like to be greeted each morning. I do not see him but at least I know he is nearby. I do not expect to see egg laying at this late date, but I do get concerned when nothing at all is going on for a couple of days. I guess maybe that is what we can expect now that their duties do not include feeding the little ones. What now for our great pair? Will it include over the summer months, occasional nest cleaning, reconstruction, bringing in new material for the next springtime? Certainly they would have to stay in the area or others would claim the nest. Still no sight of eagles but I just heard the mom also.

It will be a nice day....maybe with eagle sightings soon.

Enjoy,

Anna

Good Morning from Kirkland, Washington, located near Seattle.
For those of you who would like a BABY Eagle Fix you can view 2 newborn Eaglets in a nest near Kent, Washington, also East of Seattle. Go to www.wdfw.wa.gov/wildwatch/live_cams/eaglecam click on the dropdown box. KentCam2 and KentCam3 will give you the best view of the nest. This is not nearly as exciting as the BRI Eagle cam since it is a still cam that refreshes every 15 seconds but it does give you an opportunity to watch 2 little bobbleheads. Thanks again Wing for all that you're doing to help our feathered critter friends. Your site is by far my absolute favorite.

If anyone is interested - here is a link to an osprey nest in Milford, CT. There are 4 eggs that were laid in April, the first on 4-11. This Tues. (tomorrow) is 28 days so hatching can occur anytime now. The live view is good, but there is no blog so it's not nearly as exciting as this camera. As everyone else, I'm missing the excitement of "our eagles", but still enjoying the blog. Thanks to everyone. Hope you enjoy the ospreys!

I heard loud calling very near-by the nest from 4:45 to 4:55PM, and then at about 4:55 an eagle landed. I presume it was Mom. She spent about a minute on the nest and then moved to the Y branch where she quietly perched for aboout 10 minutes before she left. Then at about 5:17 there were very distinct calls from I think Dad, right near the nest, but not in view.

Good Afternoon from Central Maine...05-07-07

It is 5:45 p.m. I knew I could depend on you bloggers to bring me good news.....news that I needed to hear. I have missed our eagles for a couple of day.....really worried about them...

I hurried in from work today and clicked on immediately to the blogs....Thank heavens....both eagles have been seen on the nest this morning. You sure made my day. Now, it got me to thinking again. We know they mated on the 5th of May, for sure. Is it once again possible for eggs to be hatched between the 10th and 15th? That is the waiting period that we know of for sure. I have got to stop wishing...

We know the mama endured hellish storms....storms that would pelt her body for 3-4 days straight.....weather that was well below the freezing mark and with winds up to 60 mph, who knows just how cold it felt as she lay there, day in, day out, to protect that little gray head we saw her and dad feed for a few days...All this and then lose the chicks. They both deserve the summer off from tending babies, they have been through so much. Still, if they wanted to surprise us, we would all be so thrilled.

Bless you all for all the inputs. the fill-ins make my day complete.

This has got to be the best room of intelligent, caring bloggers that I have been in.

Keep the faith,

Monday evening....@ 7:39.

I just started to observe two precious eagles on the nest. They are both picking out of the nest at the same time. If there is a possibility that birds can be in love, then this is real!! LOL

They are treating each other so tenderly, moving against each other. What a beautiful sight to see. As I am viewing them right now, one is cuddling down into the nest as the mate perches above on the edge of the nest. I am starting to let my mind believe that they are preparing for something more than next spring's nesting. They are silent...it is 7:43, one just left, I presume the male....the other is still sitting low in the nest...I am thinking she may be spending the night....if she does, we may expect some egg laying in a few short days. Remember, we saw mating on the 5th but that does not mean they weren't mating a day or two before that. Here I go again....expecting more than I should..lol

Take care, my friends...

Hooray! Two adults in the nest. Found them around 19:40. I thought I was watching Ms. & Mr. Mom ... but the behavior was different from anything that I have observed before. I must add that I have only seen them (this year and last) after egg laying. What I observed now seemed to fit with this morning's observation. Quite the cozy looking couple. No head biting but one did place it's head over the head/neck of the other and seemed to lean into it. Then one settled down (incubating position) and remained there for a few minutes after the other flew away. Total time around 10 minutes or so.

Counting on our video experts to have captured this for closer study ...

By the way, the still cam seems to stop updating in the evening. Noticed it both yesterday and today. Luckily I realized the situation and had the live feed running.

A Happy Tuesday Morning To All:

It is 8:15 a.m. here in Maine and the weather looks to be another beautiful day.

I have not had the pleasure of seeing our eagles this morning...been off and on the computer a bit. I did hear, I believe, the dad at 4:30 this morning. They appear to be early risers as my own birds in Central Maine start singing around that time. I can hear an eagle nearby as I write this.

They are enjoying 50 degree weather with clear skies this morning.....a light coastal breeze that anyone that has the luck of living on the coast, can tell you is expected.

Well, I am off to work so others may be able to do their job there....looking forward to coming back and checking in as I know someone will have brought me up to date.

You know, this is a good day to make another contribution to BRI...a good time to say "thank you" once again and let them know we appreciate all they do to make this a better world for every living thing.

Enjoy your day and I don't have to remind you to remember, in your own way, all the people who lost their own homes in the tragic tornado that lit down in Kansas and other places. We all need each other....whether helping people or trying to save wildlife.

My best,

Since our eagle friends are living the life of riley (no kids this summer) and are soaring here and there instead of posing on the nest for us all to see, I've been taking more time to watch 'my' osprey here in S. Portland. Just got back from the nest at SMCC...the sunrise was soooo beautiful and I was lucky to catch copulation in the pink rays of the 5am morning (with binoculars!!) After, they sat and enjoyed the moment as well. Found a 'new to me nest' in Casco Bay right near the bridge last week and when I did a closer look at that nest recently I found another nest in a high electical tower. So that's 3 nests in a very small area, maybe all within a mile of each other - as the osprey flies!

So it makes me wonder if this is unusual or if it's just a matter of being able to support the nest with enough food. I must also say that it's almost comical looking at their nest building vs. the eagle!! The nest at SMCC is surrounded by 'stuff'...things hanging off from it, orange traffic ribbon, bungee cords....I have to laugh. And they don't appear deep at all, but they obviously work for the osprey!

Now Wing, here's a question and then an idea. The question is can you steer us to a resource on osprey with good basic info? The idea is this - how about you folks at BRI (cos I'm sure you have nothing else to do!) putting together a frequently asked question page for the eagle, loon, and whomever you have up next, so that we can get basic info without constantly pestering you about why this and why that and why, why, why!!!! By the way, thank you sincerely for all you give to us by answering our questions, what a gift to be able to share your passion with others...we appreciate it and hopefully can honor it by adjusting our behavior as we leave our footprint on the earth.
Thanks for listening...and hey folks, get out into your neighborhoods early in the morn or in the calm of dusk and bring your binoculars!!

We have had a Nest here for about 12 years and now this year we have another nesting couple just up the road. (you can park in the middle and watch both nests)We also have 2 other pairs hanging around. We are wondering if they have nested on the ground as that is where they are most of the time.There must be plenty for them to eat here( marsh and creeks on one side Cape Cod bay on the other)these nest have very colorfull building materials as well. I would love to see a Question & Answer page too.

Hey Evelyn...isn't it so cool to be surrounded by these birds! I've been wondering for awhile now about the sociability (if that's the right word) of the osprey. They build their nests so close to civilation, a marina!, the middle of an industrial waterfront!, they must not care so much about humans. Wonder what has made them so different from the rest of their bird Family? Just glad to be to close without harm.

Wow! osprey on the ground!!! Never have seen that - how curious!

Was just watching the Sidney BC eaglecam--because of time difference I rarely look in when it's daytime there--and the closeup cam was wonderful. The chick was right up against the edge of the nest camera side, and sleeping. Every so often it would put its head over the side (a large stick) and go to sleep again. Looked like it wouldn't be too comfortable, like it would choke, but it didn't seem to feel that. Funny and cute.

One thing that puzzles me about those eagles compared to BRI's: they seem very inactive and passive. I've never seen a nest exchange, for instance. Always just one parent on the nest. And the chick is rarely under the parent, sometimes not even touching, which makes me wonder how it keeps warm. The temps. in BC are not that warm right now, and the chick isn't that old from appearance. If I recall, ours were almost always under a parent when not eating, at that stage.

Makes me wonder why the differences. That environment, as I've said before, is awfully noisy so I'm thinking, could it be noise pollution that affects them? It all seems very unnatural just listening to it. Or is it just the difference in geographic location, which has bred a different sort of eagle personality? There is definitely a noticeable difference just watching them. They hardly move at all, and don't exhibit any signs of distraction despite all that terrible noise! Would love a comment from the biologists on this.

Good Afternoon.....05-09-07

A great day for sun lovers here in Maine today. The temp hovered around 80 degrees where I am in Central Maine but a nice day also for our eagles at the coast with the temp reaching the 60's. A beautiful clear day.

Hope you all had a great day. I have not been on much so haven't been watching the site as much as I would like to. Hoping to read later that our eagles have been observed and are happy.

Looks like our "love birds" may not lay eggs this spring but will enjoy their home from time to time and refurbish it. I have not counted them out 100% as the time has not expired from when we watched them mate to the time the eggs are due to be laid.

Regardless, I have been able to watch a great journey involving two beautiful eagles, that without Wing and BRI, I would not have been able to see it "live time". What a learning experience it has been for me. My respect for the larger bird has surely grown since March 1st.

Thank you Wing and BRI.

It is 9 p.m. and it is proving to be an interesting evening for me...

I heard an eagle a while ago, I believe it was the female so went to check on the nest site. I didn't see anything but left the nest site minimized in the corner and went about doing some work on the computer. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw some movement.....checked a little better and realized an eagle was sitting on the branch above the nest. It was 8:40 p.m. when I first noticed her/him??? I believe it was the female I had heard a bit before. She melded in with the surroundings so well, if she hadn't ruffled her tail feathers, I would have missed her. At 8:53 she tucked her head under her wing and settled in.

I am now wondering what is going on. Here I go again!!!! Maybe an egg will be laid soon? Why roost here for the night, I had not observed this before. Maybe there was intruder earlier that I missed. Do not know....fill me in, my friends.....hopefully, someone see her/him when they first lit down.

Oh, how I love these eagles. Guess I will have to listen to American Idol instead of watching it tonight.....the mannerisms (is that a word?) of these eagles are more important to me.

Keep the faith.....

Hi, Bloggers,
In consideration of the small possibility nobody has noted it (it hasn't been published yet), I would like to tell everyone there is a Bald Eagle, probably Mom, perched on the left branch of the "Y" above the nest in the dark night...

Could be a positive sign, harbingering a second try at a family this season.

Oh, my!

20:45 - Signed on and found an eagle on the left branch of the Y, facing the water. I am not picking up sound and have seen nothing but the rear view ... so I hesitate to guess the id.

The eagle remains, head turned onto the back, waking occasionally and then going back to sleep.

I must sign off and I hope that other observations are made to determine exactly how long the eagle stays.

By the way, the still cam shows an empty nest with daylight. Is this happening with everyone?

Hope the night stays calm for all ...

I thought I would check on the eagles nest before bed and to my surprise one of them decided to sleep on the Y limb. How neat to see them this late at night (11:22pm est). I can also hear an owl off in the distance, it sounds as if it is a beautiful and quiet night. It has been a long time since I have seen one of the eagles at this time of night.

Hi All,
It is 12:10 AM ET on May 10th and it looks like Mom has decided to stay at the nest all night. She is sitting quietly on her favorite branch with her head resting on her back. I don't think I have ever seen her do this at night when there wasn't a reason to be at the nest. I suppose it is as good of a place as any to spend the night but seems unusual based on recent past activity. Cool to see. So quiet except for the water and she looks so peaceful.

Thursday 05/10 12:30 A.M. E.T. Checked in and found one of our Eagles sitting on left Y branch, back to camera. Peacefuly looking out over water. Surprisingly the Eagle continued to stay in the same position, sometimes doing a bit of grooming but mostly very quiet. Did not make any movements for 30-40 minutes at times, perhaps napping? At 4:10 A.M. E.T cam went black and Eagle was still there. Have tried to recapture video but, no luck. DRATTTTS!!! What an inoportune time to lose visuals. Am amazzed at the long length of time he/she has been there. Almost appeared to be patiently waiting for mate. Will continue to try to regain video.

Dad flew into the nest last night and slept on the branch. Mom came in after the live camera went down. It was about 4:40am and they both just left about 5AM.

A clear morning with the temp holding in the mid 40's in Maine this morning. It is 6:40 a.m.

Wish I knew what is going on at the nest site. My live cam has been out for some time. The eagle roosted on the branch at the site for most of the night.....do not know when she/he? left....sometime early this morning. I watched her for a long time as she tucked her head under her wing and was comfortable with the surroundings for the night.

Anxiously awaiting any info.

Have a happy day...

Are there words to describe the various types of eagle vocalization? We've heard them 'screech' when a threat is near, another type of 'screech' when calling to each other, the 'babble' (sort of a cooing) when they are together on the nest, and then there is the silent sound with beaks open as if they are trying to make a sound (maybe the sound is too low for us to hear). Are there actual names for all of these vocals? Thank you for a wonderful web site. Pam in CT

This a delayed posting for 5/9/07.

At 11:18 an eagle landed on the nest - pretty sure it was Mom - and she quietly stayed there for about 10 minutes. For a little while before the landing, there were lots of eagle calls near-by. Mom's voice was particularly beautiful. After she left the nest, there were additional calls near-by from both Mom and Dad.

At 11:43 there was a very loud metalic bang - so loud that it startled me. There was another metalic bang at 11:47 but it was not as loud. I wonder if it was a turkey hunter (in season now) or better yet, the innocent activity of BRI researchers or technicians.
While that was going on there were lots of crow calls.

By noon all was quiet in the area.

I start at 6:00 am and then until about 10:00 pm and I haven't seen an eagle at all. Glad someone is seeing them. I can't get the still cam but the live cam comes on easily. Just that the sound is so distorted that I don't use it anymore. I will check in again in the fall. Thanks for this wonderful service. PP

So glad cam is back on. In reading the posts it appears that our Mom or Dad spent the entire night on the nest. I observed her/him there from midnight 05/10 until 4:A.M. E.T 05/10 when the cam went out. This has been such a wonderful experience and anyone who has observed this most amazing couple must agree that they clearly have shown a range of feelings and thoughts in their various actions. It has warmed my heart and soul beyond belief. The video that featured the song "Eagle When She Flies" brought tears to my eyes. A beautifully fitting song that captures and pays tribute to the true essence and spirit of this much loved pair.

Just when I thought peace and quiet had settled in:

15:30 - adult arrived on Y branch. Was alert and seemed to call. Then entered nest bowl.

15:33 - second adult flew into nest bowl (Ms. Mom, I think) and chased the first away. Moved to Y and stayed only a couple minutes.

15:35 - empty nest

Happy to have both cams restored. Great reading blogs. Nice that the eagle had a long, peaceful night.

Greetings, One and All ~ Have just today absolutely become addicted to this amazing sight and wanted to sign in with my first viewing - (spent some time checking the cam yesterday afternoon without seeing any bird action) Just now looked up at 3:30 on the dot to see a lone eagle perched on the Y-branch just below the crotch of the vee. At 3:31, it had crept down to perch on the rim of the nest and had its head down in the bowl. At the bginning of 3:32 it was upright again and before that minute was up had crept back up onto the branch. At 3:34, it was gone...Not one of the original pair? An interloper just checking things out? Too early for me to be making judgement calls, just guessing. Will keep checking and reporting as time allows until five.
Thank You to all who work to maintain this wonderous site and to those who post observations and video clips, etc. - what a wonderful thing!

Since this was such a fleeting event, thought I'd pass along my observation from today...

At 3:31, an eagle landed on the nest and immediately started to crouch into the nest bowl. At firt glance I thought it was Mom, but then within a minute another eagle swooped in and chased the first eagle off the nest. The second eagle sounded like Dad at first, but then it sounded more like Mom later on while it sat on the Y branch for a couple minutes. So I am completely confused and will leave it up to more savvy bloggers or BRI staff to identify who's who in this skirmish. After this brief event, there was lots of calling near-by for a little while. I think it was mostly Mom's calls, but I can't say for sure...

There may have been an intruder chased off by mom earlier at about 1:00 ish. There was also ALOT of human male conversation and construction type noise going on this at 11:00 ish. (Had a repair person here so time are squishy)
Maybe the folk at BRI were doing work as I also couldn't get a live feed except through the NGS site, and the BRI site now seems to have a clearer picture.
Looks beautiful there.

Good Evening....05-10-07

It is 7:50. At 7:45 p.m. an eagle lights on the nest, immediately followed by another eagle that rushed it off. That eagle remained by the nest for a couple of minutes before flying off at 7:47.

Now at 7:48, an eagle is back and immediately starts to move sticks around the edge of the bowl....then proceeds to get down into the bowl with its "puter" sticking up in the air. My heart is racing....this is the 10th, it might be what I have been waiting for. Now as I watch she/he, but I think she... is still in the nest looking into it then around....changing positions but definitely molding it into her shape as if to make it more comfortable for her.

This may prove to be an interesting evening at the eagle's household. One thing is for sure....they are going to hold onto this site and not let anyone take over.

Happy watching, my blogger friends. I sure will be.

Who's in the nest bowl?

19:45 - adult arrives at nest into bowl ... immediately followed by another. My thought ... great, both Mr. & Ms. Mom to watch for a while... NOT. Tussle in nest bowl until one chases the other out.

19:49 - remaining adult flies off

19:51 - adult into nest bowl doing some clean-up/repair, moving a stick and nest bottom materials. My thought ... must be Mr. Mom making everything just right. However, I am not sure who is on the nest. Very distinct inverted U, not a V. Ms. Mom usually indistinct, often more like a W. I don't know who is in the nest bowl. Lying down for a short while before getting up to move around a bit but never leaving bowl.

20:04 - adult flew off

Thank goodness I can count on others watching also! Hopefully, a video ...

I just witness an intruder followed closely by our girl at the nest. There was a very brief confrontation in with the intruder was sent away. Then Mom started calling out for alittle while before taking off again. She came back in very short order and started housekeeping in the nest, and she also laid down in it for awhile before leaving again.

I hope someone out there captured this in pictures or video, because I am couious to see if you think that might have been pre-nesting behavior.

Keep the faith, everyone. I haven't given up hope, yet.

In the first few minutes before I started this video, Mom ran someone off from the nest who approached her. She flew away and now has flown back. She's having some interesting posturing and much calling (labor pains?!). After watching her on the branch until 1AM this morning and now this, do you think that it's clutch time again?

No time to look into the loon nest yet. I just have some time to make observations on the Eagle nest for now.

A golf course is a tough mistress for this superintendant/owner. So here goes. The following were check in observations.

Thursday May 10. Sunny and calm.
1550: Empty nest.
1650: Empty nest.
1738: Empty nest.
1800: Empty nest.

The next observations were sticking to the live cam and I got lucky.

1940: logged on.
1945: Observed an eagle landing on the back edge of the nest. I'm not
as good as many others at distinguishing the sex unless I see the pair together. I'm guessing the dad. Appeared to be feeding.
1947 Dad(?) flies off.
1948: What I believe to be the mom lands. (more white in tail and larger?)
1952: through 1956: The bird polices the nest, walks around the bowl, head up and down, looking about, then fussing with the nest.
1956: She sits quietly into the bowl.
2002: She flies off.

If I have the sexes mixed up, somebody please correct me. *s*

The live cam was off for a short time today. The still cam not refreshing. I try not to hog the live cam time but not much sense in just watching the still cam if it's the same pic all day.

Not whining, just observing. Wing and crew are doing a wonderful job.

5/10 Just had to tell my fellow bloggers about my trip to the Sheraton Hotel in Arlington Park, IL to see a Red Tailed Hawk nest. They are on a 2 ft. ledge outside a room on 11th floor. 3 chicks that look to be about 3 weeks old. They were so cute. Mom(who was large for a Red Tail) was very protective and Dad came swooping down from the sky when we cracked the window open to hear the birds.

Mom settled down after we were standing there for a few minutes but never took her eyes off us. What a treat!! The room has been decommissioned for the duration.

At app. 5:36 hops back down into nest and just as he/she is settling in an intruder swoops down from the left and attempts to land. Our eagle immediatley drives it away and hops back onto Y branch. Flies away at 5:40 A.M.

05:26 - looked like vocalizing and then into nest bowl, moving soft material for a couple minutes and back onto left Y.

05:32 - looks like more vocal

05:40 - back into nest bowl, settling into bowl with raised rear.

05:41 - wham ... incoming attack. First eagle chased off. Ms. Mom(?) onto Y with lengthy vocal.

05:43 - second eagle flew off.

The first eagle was quite large. Seems as though another female still wants to nest.

What a way to start the day!

I enjoy reading these blogs of ours so much!! I was addicted to this wonderful site last year with the 3 live births, and this year too except we have no chicks at this time.

It's entertaining and very informative to read these blogs--I think many of us are having the equivalent to "false labor" wanting so much to have babies this year!! I am as hopeful as everyone else, but I just enjoy reading all the input and observations of you guys! You all make this site so much fun to visit throughout the day while I am at work! What a great group of eagle watchers!! Thanks so much for sharing all your information with the rest of us. I love you all!
