8/5/08...Thanks for coming back on-line. I missed my window in Maine. It's so peaceful like a perpetual vacation. And the great reward is that every now and then I share my view with a beautiful eagle or two. Thank the team, also, for all their work and effort.

Glad to see the site back up, even though there isn't nest activity this time of year.
It could soon be nest building season for the couple; whichever couple.!

To Sebago Eagle lover: I feel bad that you haven't had your question answered but it may be there can be no pat answer to the question. To see an eagle sitting in a certain spot for a period of time (months, summers,etc) may mean it's a favorite roost spot.
There's so much to know to determine where it might come from - what's the range from a nest that an adult will fly; is it a nesting adult or is it looking? Is it even the very same bird that you see every time?
Everything we learn increases our desire to know more - one piece of info leads to 5 more questions...know what I mean? In down time on the cams, I try to spend a little time reading the reports BRI so generously puts on their site. Some can be very technical almost needing hip-waders to get thru for us non-scientific types BUT the tables, graphs, etc have very easily intrepreted info in them. I just looked at a map of the state o'Maine showing sites of nests where chicks were sampled. Just pick something and peruse...it won't hurt.
So Sebago friend, keep looking, keep your own journal, read about eagles, and keep sharing what you find.

I'm so happy. The CAM is back up and running. Hoping to see our eagles once again soon. Thanks Wing.
Looks so beautiful. Can't wait for next spring...with wishes for our favorite eagle pair to have a successful season.Thanks for getting the cam back up and running. As always, you amaze us with your talents, concern, knowledge...well, the list goes on.
WOOOO-HOOOO Happy days are here again... Thank you BRI!!! ;] 1:32pm EDT 8/08/08
8/8/08....Being a while since I have been on here posting. Have been checking on the cam and glad to see that it is back on again.
Haven't been able to catch our eagles but the scenery and the sounds are just wonderful. Very relaxing..I just love it! Thanks for all you do and can't wait for next nesting season, hopefully we have better luck!
Take care,
Karen in WA.
Glad to see the camera back! I do have hopes that after a year off the eagles will nest again next year - and it will be interesting to compare their behavior this fall and early winter with what we observed last year! Thanks for all you do!

Hi everyone. I just found this site about the bald eagles and it is a great site. I have been watching the cam for a week or so and still haven't seen any siteings yet. Could anyone tell me when the eagles come to the nest. thanks
Jesse
Jesse, You should start seeing the eagles more at this nest around December/January/February. It's a great sight and I'm glad you found it. Hopefully our eagles will have a successful hatch this season.

Long time with no new blog posts. Is anyone still out there?
I have not managed to catch any eagles on the nest, but do enjoy the view.

I'm here every day, looking and sometimes listening; I may have heard eagles a few days ago in the early morning but I wasn't sure. No sightings from the cam. Of course this time of year offers so much outside as well and husband & I have seen lots of great birds over the marshes and in our yard.
Stay in touch

JAM in Illinois, yes an eagle does visit from time to time, maybe only a minute or two but does still make appearances. We do hear them more than see them though. Sometimes we even hear a little chatter way into the late evening. Time is flying by quickly and it won't be long before we see them working on the nest again and I'm sure that you are as anxious as we are to see them on a more regular basis. It's not been a good year for a lot of the different nests that are available for viewing.

Great surprise to see an eagle with wind blowing thru its feathers on the nest at 2:20pm today - watched for about 2 minutes before it hopped of the Y branch and glided downward. What a great windy day for flying.

We need a new month to appear - but first - we need the camera to be turned back on.
Please?
