Eagle Watchers

Recommended Posts

Well, it is all over.   He did leave the nest around 3PM for about 30 minutes.    Then when he did return, he was attacked again by the other eagle(s).    It appears he has left and will not return.

The eggs are certainly frozen and will not hatch.  It remains to be seen if the attacking eagles are a mating pair and will take possession of the nest.

Up date on the eagles.     The nesting female (Liberty) has not been seen since the initial attack and is presumed dead.   Her mate (Freedom) has survived the repeated attacks and has killed the attacking male.  The attacking male has been found near the nest.

 

 The surviving male (Freedon, and the new female (Lucy)  are now a pair and have been working on the nest.    It remains to be seen if it is too late for the pair to mate and lay new eggs this year.

 

BTW,  Lucy is a very large powerful eagle.       The strongest two of the four involved has survived.

Ed, thank you for keeping us posted on this. I do appreciate it.

 

Sometimes "nature" is a bit tough for some of us to watch but the strongest surviving is a better guarantee of overall species survival.

Hopefully the Eagles situation will continue to improve.

Here is a video of the new female (Lucy) eating Liberty's eggs.

The EAGLE CAMS are back up and working. This year there are three cameras. One is apparently very high definition. The PA wildlife and game commission is not the sponsor this season, and the link is directly through HDONTAP. I hope the eagles have better luck this year.

Thanks for the heads up Bob.   The nest looks pretty sturdy.     Maybe we will have less drama and a successful hatch this year.

 I just found this post and I'm glad I did I'm a huge fan of the bald eagle and when I go fishing here in Tennessee there are a couple near the lake where I fish! 

Thanx for the link to the feed. I'm glad to have found it!

There's some eagle watching that goes on this time of year around our three big reservoirs in northern east central Indiana.

You have to get out there and hoof it, however. None of this lounging in your jammies and drinking coffee in front of the monitor here for these bird watchers.

Beautiful day at the nest.    The cameras are all up and both eagles are still busy fine tuning the nest bed with straw and corn husks. 

Only 3-4 weeks till egg laying.    :handgestures-fingerscrossed:

I don't need to watch the eagle cam. I have a bald eagle that has been checking out my tall oak trees lately. He landed about 10 feet from me one evening while I was taking out the trash.

 

Sorry, no cameras yet.

Good thing they don't behave like a Gray Jay.

Land right on you...

Saw one yesterday in a field eating a dead deer, to far out to get a decent picture.

Still no egg this morning.     She is devouring a duck as the snow covers the nest again.
