Morning Lafarge

On July 1 my hubby, sister, niece and I visited the nest area. We perched ourselves in the park directly facing the nest. We had a good view of the nest even without our camera and binoculars.... We did have fun finding the nest too ~~we drove right by it three or four times until we finally parked and explored on foot to find it

While we were there~Mom was perched on the artifical new nest and Tenas was in the nest. While we were there Tenas did a few wingercises and flaparoos too which was pretty cool ~~she looked amazing and very strong!!. Mom called out several times for Dad while we were there but we never did get a visual of Dad. At one point Mom was scoulding a sea gull that got a wee bit too close to the nest .

My niece works for Lafarge and this was her first visit to the nest area~~ not sure who was more excited me or my niece . We spent a couple of hours at the park near the nest and many local residents warmly welcomed us and of course we discussed the Lafarge eagle familiy with everyone we met. It was a bit cloudy and overcast the day of our visit but the weather cooperated and I got some really great pictures! I am totally with envy to those of you that live so close to this wonderful family !!

Will post some pictures tomorrow.

I can't wait Deb!! Thanks so much!

Evening Lafarge

Terry my pleasure~~I have way too many pictures!! I must say I was really pleased with the kindness and hospitality of the local residents~~it was holiday July 1 and many people out for a walk and also walking their dogs. Nearly everyone stopped to chat with us ~~ it was incredible!!

Okay here are the pictures of the nest taken around 1230 pm on July 1 2010.

Hello!

Terry here! I am here to see if you might be able to pop by the Lafarge Nest at some point on the Weekend. We believe Chakchak is close to or even possibly has fledged. Any report from the ground would be awsome! This is a 'generic request' that i'm placing in all the local Content Provider threads....

Thanks!

Terry

HI terry, and freinds of this Nest,Made my first visit to this nest today around 11:00 found the little one in the branches and Mom perched on the artifical nest with the seagulls bothering Her.



Only stayed for about an hour ... No one moved

Thanks for the great photos and ground crew report, urban eagle.

I couldn't log in all day yesterday for some reason...

Anyway, sounds like I was there just an hour after Urban Eagle was and Tenas was still pretty much in the same position. I was there for just over an hour and she never really moved other than her head now and then. No flapping, no jumping. The pic is from yesterday taken at noon.....



I was just down there again (9:30 am) and I couldn't see her... when I went to read the camera discussions it appears she was napping
