Re: Delta2 2020 -2021 Observation and Discussion Thread
Good Morning Delta 2! I have a few minutes so thought I would log into the cams and look around a little....see if we have any visitors around.
I did not see any large birds out around the area, but we did have a little visitor on the nest picking up some nesting materials to use at their nest. 10:33 am - I am now off the cams.

6:03 am logging into both cams for a quick look around.
6:15 am logging off both cams. With my quick look, I didn't see any birds. It is a bit windy and cloudy this morning.

2021 Cam Maintenance
Matching Drive
Matching Drive
A little over 17 weeks ago, we met Tiku from our Surrey Reserve nest; this is just before he or maybe she made it all the way out of the shell:
And now Tiku and Tucca from Surrey Reserve and Hope and Chase from Delta 2 have all set out to explore the world.
We do still have one young eagle to watch - this is Romeo from our White Rock nest, who hatched 6 weeks later than Tiku:
At 11 weeks, he (or maybe she) is practicing perching on the nest supports and exercising those big wings. Eaglets generally fledge (take their first flight) between 10 and 14 weeks, and it's my guess that will happen in the next week or so.
And you know - I haven't really thought about this before - but our little window to access the nests and clean the cams and do any other necessary work isn't always that much longer than the 35-40 days it takes an egg to hatch. Last year the Surrey Reserve adults didn't leave until August 14 (though they weren't visiting very often after Thor left in mid-July) - and Dad Sur was back on September 26. Different pairs have different schedules - and it can vary from year to year - so it would be great if we could get ready now.
With that in mind....
We will be posting more details about our Adopt-a-Nest program, the new option to adopt one of our eagles with a tracker (details soon), the Monthly Donor program - and the work we need to do on the 10 cameras we now have at five different nests.
The important thing to know is that at least the first $1000 in donations toward our cam maintenance fund drive will be matched by long-time supporters of Hancock Wildlife - so the time to donate is now!
Details about How to Donate
If you have questions, please contact [email protected] or [email protected]
Thank You!

1:15pm........ Good afternoon Delta2 friends!
Our hot, dry weather continues!
IN on both cams.
1:29pm.........Checked all around............tide is way out at the bay. There is a nice breeze out there. Alas, no eagles or any other birds to be seen.
I am now OFF both cams.
