3:30pm or thereabouts

The cam is down now. I have been trying to recall if the images have always been this poor, or if it's just this year.

Around 3:20 both were on the nest - it appears the female was eating while the male stood watch. He flew off and she continued eating - looking about occasionally


The male flew back in and started sending warning calls


He left again and the female finished eating - was standing looking out and the screen went black

Friday March 23

About 1:30 pm EDT Both arrived on the nest. The male stood in the nest bowl, it is so deep now he looked like he was lying down. He poked about a bit and left

Female stayed. Seemed to be semi standing in the nest bowl Kept looking about as if watching the male. She also puffed out her feathers. I don't think it was the wind


Male returned with a new stick and is busy arranging things to his satisfaction.


Female is still standing in the same place in the nest bowl. Feathers back to normal position. One of them is calling - I think the female Image quality is a bit lacking.

Male left. Female standing - seems to be looking for him

Stayed there until approximately 2:35pm

EDIT:: She's back at 248pm

She's back on the nest again ant 4:50 pm



Has this camera always produced such poor quality images? Or is it that I am getting spoiled by all the newer cams great images?

5:45pm

Dad flew in around 5:35 pm and started working the nest bowl base. Mom stood out of his way on the near side


He worked the base for about 5 minutes and then Mom decided enough and moved in and shoved him aside so she could lie down. He then took off


She is again in the semi reclining position. This nest bowl is so deep it is impossible to see or tell what is going on.

6:10pm

Dad returned again Mom has changed her position to an elevated tail


Dad has moved to the foreground and is moving sticks all about. Can barely see that Mom is still there


Now Mom is standing and Dad nest decorating


Mom flew off. Dad continues to work the nest bowl

5:15pm

Eagles have been on the nest several times this afternoon for an hour or so each time.

Around 5:10pm while Mom (I think) was reclining in the nest bowl, a crow came to visit. Hopped about on the Y branch. Mom looked at it and just ignored it's presence as it moved about on the branch

12:51 juvie intruder on front branch! Been there for over 20 minutes. Was on nest eating nestovers, female knocked it off nest, it showed back up on front branch a few minutes later. I am pretty sure this is the same juvie I saw the other day on the front branch and is probably what is keeping things stirred up at this nest this year

Sunday Mar 25 - 3:22pm

A juvie flew onto the nest and began eating left overs


His white markings are just breaking through on his back shoulder area


After about 10 minutes an adult flew in - chased him off. Another 5 minutes and the juvie appeared on the near branch

The adult made a shooing motion towards him, he fluttered, but did not leave. 40 minutes later he is still there
