Jan 5, 2011 It was in the 20's overnight and will warm up into the high 40's today. It is partly cloudy.

Judy I am sure hoping for sound. After listening to the Decorah eagles yesterday, I really would love to hear Aspen and Haven talking to each other.

No sighting of eagles at the nest yet this morning. I will be off mid day and will certainly miss the daily pix.

Jannice thanks for checking with Amy. Maybe she will give you an update soon.

One of them are there right now 4:45pm EST so I think it is 2:45 nest time

Jannice I am so glad you were there to catch that pic. Looks like the warm up is melting some of the snow.

I was gone longer than I thought so I am happy to see the visit by one of the eagles.

5:12 Eagle visits the nest just before the night cam goes on.
5:14 It is gone again.


That was the dinnertime visit. Glad to see it. Good night SV.

Another sunny day and warm......low 50's. It was breezy. I did not spot the eagles when I checked in today.
I will be gone most of the day tomorrow.

3:55 eagle has moved to the 6 position and is up on the fence.

4:04 eagle remains up on the fence

4:06 Incoming at 12.

4:08 Both in the nest

4:09 One in the nest bowl exits while the other stays on the fence.

4:14 Eagle on fence exits. The nest is empty. They have brought several small sticks into the nest.

Great pictures - thanks, Donna!

I'm afraid I have a bit of a concern - a friend sent me a few s'caps from around 6:00 - 6:15 of a raccoon visiting the nest.


Comparing the size to the size of the eagles, I'm thinking/hoping it's a curious young raccoon, and having checked out the nest, won't be back. But I am going to be a bit nervous for a couple of days - a raccoon isn't likely to be a problem this time of year, but is a real threat to eggs and chicks. Fortunately it should be a while before this nest has either, and it seems unlikely that it will stay too long without something more interesting than old turtle shells to munch on. Fingers crossed.
