Here is a link to the news post today. The eagles build a new nest. click on me

Thanks for the heads up Anna! I just clicked on your link and saw one of them on the nest rearanging some sticks. It just flew off! The nest is a good size already!

Adult back with another large branch!

Both adults on then nest

Very exciting, both have been back and forth bringing in new nesting materials!

Great news that the pair are building a new nest, was a bit concerned with the old one and all the holes that were probably in it from the smaller birds digging holes and nesting in it! Hope they can install a cam on the new nest without disturbing the pair!

Thanks for bringing forth the info on the nest Anna!, and Darlene for your scap! Will be keeping an eye on this nest for sure

Thank you anna and Darlene!!! I took a look just a minute ago and found no eagles but the sky is beautiful!



ETA----5 minutes later...there was an eagle in the nest and actually I think it was there in my first s'cap--behind the tree trunk.

SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT FROM EAGLECAM PROJECT
Dear EagleCAM Supporters,

We would like to share with you a few announcements regarding the EagleCAM team and our upcoming season. In order to provide you with the best possible information from quality and reliable sources, we review our policies from time to time to see where we can strengthen our methods of communication, our education, and our team as a whole. Over the past several weeks, we have made some changes to our internal policies and to our team. Some of these changes include saying goodbye to a few moderators from our 2011 season - Totenzwerg, darcicam and mochamama22. We wish them the best in their future endeavors, and you can see them moderating at other nest sites in the USA right now and next season!

Other changes include the addition of four new moderators to our current team for the 2012 season. Please welcome dduckies, grotto56, kellirooney and sweetsue13 to the Sydney EagleCAM moderator team! We also have the privilege of keeping a very well-respected moderator, lstaudt, as a “temporary moderator”. This means that lstaudt will return to our chat room as a regular chat participant, but is happy to provide support and assistance to our moderator team as needed. lstaudt’s contributions to our nest last season created a great desire for her to help out at several nest sites during the past few months. Rather than being tied down to one nest as a moderator, lstaudt would like the opportunity to share her passion and knowledge as a chatter throughout multiple nest sites and chat rooms this year.

Behind the scenes, we've been preparing for the 2012 White-bellied Sea EagleCAM season. You may notice that the parent eagles have chosen to build a new nest in a different tree for this season! Our camera has been at ground-level for the past few weeks so that we can be sure this is their permanent choice for the year. We are pretty sure at this point they are taking up permanent residence here, so our new PTZ camera and microphones will be installed by an arborist around June 15th. We plan go live at our normal channel located at http://www.ustream.tv/seaeagles as soon as everything is installed.

Our chat room will open for the season on Saturday, June 23rd at 7 AM AEST (nest time in Sydney, Australia, which is Friday, June 22nd at 5 PM EDT for those of you in North America). If all goes well with the camera installation, we may open the chat room a few days earlier. We will update our Facebook pages and the forums with information as it becomes available. We are also excited to have a few special guests coming to our chat room during the next few months. Details coming soon!

We look forward to an exciting new season with you and the EagleCAM team. For now, please join us at our temporary camera site at http://www.ustream.tv/channel/sea-eagle-watch. Be sure to leave a message on the EagleCAM Facebook page to tell us what you think!

We also invite you to visit the BirdLife Australia website located at http://www.birdlife.org.au/ and the Birds in Backyards site located at http://www.birdsinbackyards.net/ to familiarize yourself with some of the exciting birds and sounds we've already been experiencing this season.

Thank you for your continued support, we are excited to begin the new season with you!

Thank you for posting that, Andie! I also received an email from Geoff with some of that information. I'm going to set up a new thread for 2012 and I will be sure to add that information!
