All I've been able to see so far today is a test pattern. I don't want to be too much of a pest to the folks running the cam, so I may let them know, but note that today is Day 36, and Day 37 is more common for a first egg to hatch, so see if there's a chance they could restart it tomorrow.

Hi JudyB..You are doing better than me.. all i was getting the past few days was the test pattern.. with any luck the cam will be back soon..Thank you for the scaps.

GOOD AFTERNOON LIBBY DAM..THURSDAY APRIL 19, 2012

Cam has been stuck all day

April 25, 2012

I wrote to the folks at Libby Dam to see how things were going, and got the following answer from one of the Park Rangers:

"We have been told that the transmitter and receiver are not functioning properly; parts have been ordered for a permanent fix, and will be installed as soon as possible.

Meanwhile, intermittent service continues:
We were able to see one chick, briefly, yesterday when the camera was up for a few moments!"

So I'm continuing to keep my fingers crossed, and hope to see one or more chicks on the nest soon.

PattiO from the Maine Window-on-Wildlife forum brought this announcement from the Libby Dam website to my attention:

April 27, 2012. Two fuzzy bobbleheads visible! The Eaglets have hatched! camera continues with intermittent pictures. Parts are on order, will be installed asap. Thank-you for your patience!

And they included a picture, reposted here, with thanks to the US Army Corps of Engineers!
