Thanks for checking in, Debs. I'm afraid I'm not able to be online much this week, so appreciate any news.

I just checked the Maine forum, and it sounded as if Eden was there and peeping while eating this morning while the cam was still dark. She's about 13-1/2 weeks old and has been flying since mid-July, so I see each visit as a gift at this point.

I got this video yesterday morning before I left to spend the day with some HWF friends. As exited as I was to meet gogee (Diana) I had trouble dragging myself away while Eden was on the nest. Who knows how much longer she'll be around. Like you said JudyB, each day is a gift now!

Small meal but still happy to see her eat and she came in peeping all the way from a long ways off!

Morning Maine

Judyb you are welcome and thanks for the heads up...will try to check in daily if I can!

Darlene Awesome you got a video Bet you had a blast with Diana and all the eagle pals

1255 pm
Nest is empty.

Eden can be heard nearby peeping and cheeping and calling out
to her parents. No visuals of any of the family right now.

According to chat Eden was defeathering a bird earlier in the nest


Have a great day all

Hi Debs, I had a blast yesterday, long day though, didn't get home until after 10.

video of meal delivery this morning which looked like a large bird. Eden was definitely defeathering. I had to shorten the video as it was almost 50 minutes long!

Hello Darlene! I enjoyed meeting you yesterday and want to thank you for the heads up about this nest. I also enjoyed meeting all the other HWF friends and look forward to more get togethers in the future. I can see we have one beautiful eaglet left here in this nest.......flying but not gone yet. All eagle lovers are having withdrawl now and it is comforting to see a nest with a let still there! I will definitely peek at this nest a few times before this one leaves too and keep this nest in mind for watching next years new family! I enjoyed watching the food drop videos of yours! Looks like a nice little family from what I can see.........and the scenery is beautiful!! Cheers!

Hi Jean! I was happy to finally meet you too, it was a fun day!

Thick fog on the nest this morning but can hear Eden calling from not too far away!

foggy morning

Maybe this is a silly question but I will ask it anyway. Why am I seeing such a dark picture here? It can't be dark in Maine yet and maybe this nest is in the shade so is a bit shadowed.?? Does any one know if there is a reason or is there something wrong? Darlene, I was hearing an eaglet too this morning when I checked and I am still hearing one near but there is no one in the nest or camera view (that I can see in the dark).

Hold on..............I think Eden is here. Look at the dark shape by my arrow. That wasn't here when I looked before.



After watching for a few more minutes I could tell that she really was there. At one point I could see her wings flapping and her body went upwards and then came back down. Because of the blackness of the picture I cannot tell if she is still there or if she left when I saw her body shape move downward.
