Judy,

I was watching Norfolk all day, but did have the Maine cam up and when I noted activity, recorded it. I captured the pair on the side branch and the "big flapping" episode. Played it in slow motion to be sure what was happening. He may have thought about a mating, but he was facing the wrong direction to be successful -

(I think there was condensation on the camera lens)

Earlier in the day a crow like bird raided the nest. Not sure if it took food or nesting material

Not too much later a crow did arrive at the nest and I am pretty sure this is food that he stole

The eagles were on the nest several more times. Once they appeared to be eating. But usually just seemed to be fusing around in the nest bowl.

Thanks, BET! I thought he might be facing the wrong way, but it was so glare-y that I really couldn't be sure in the brief time I had to view the action.

I haven't decided if I want to get a video program that doesn't overwhelm my computer - or just stay with s'caps and hope someone else does videos.

Thanks!

One of the eagles is on the nest eating. They don't seem to be doing any nestorations, just using it for an eating base. I really do think these two have another nest somewhere.Sad

Tues Mar 15

I video captured them yesterday, Dad brought in a huge branch and two moved it together. Was really a great image. But, I can't access the video. I had fooled around with the options on the program, and did something so that all the video's I captured were corrupted. Cry Some time, when I have time, I am going to try to find a way to save them, but - being technically challenged - I doubt it. Anyway, they did several nest building chores yesterday. Today seemed to have been a Chamber of Commerce Day and I only noticed one at a time on the nest. But, I have not been watching the entire day. Have things I need to do

Thank you Bet. I am glad to hear they have been doing some nestorations. I am so hoping they do something with this nest this year as it is the only nest I can get at work now with the Pelican Harbour eagles using a new nest.fingers crossed

The eagles have been spending quite a bit of time at the nest this week - I have my fingers crossed!

Mom was visiting earlier today (she really is there):

It's snowing today - but supposed to get warmer soon.
