Was it Aurora?
Hi Bettie. I just posted some comparisons, if you would like to take a look. My opinion is no, this visitor is not Aurora.

For anyone checking here, my live feed on the cam stopped at 09:14:32, Alaska time. Hopefully, the City of Kenai IT is doing maintenance and the live feed will be restored soon. I am confident they would not turn off the live stream without posting information about that first. I did send en email to the City of Kenai contact and will post further info here when received, and will also have that info posted to the Facebook group.

⭐️⭐️The cam went live again 10:27:46. It was a You Tube issue, and IT got the stream reset when the issue was corrected. ⭐️⭐️

Thank you, City of Kenai. 💕

I was able to get two comparisons of the today’s visitor and Aurora, similar profiles, zoomed out, different lighting though.

Comparison of today’s visitor and Redoubt.
I tried to find the best I could for comparison. Unfortunately, I didn’t have any similar zoom out scaps of Redoubt in a similar profile.

**As is evidenced by the second and third scap, both of Redoubt, cam angles/weather/time of day can make the color and size appear different on the same bird. We have only the overhead view, and cannot see good side views of the eagles, so we just have to go with what we have. :)

I tried to zoom the above comparisons to similar sizes.

Hi! What excitement today. Thanks for all of the comparison pictures. In my humble opinion, I don't think this visitor is Aurora or Redoubt. The tail is so white compared to A & R, and the head markings are different. I'm hoping we'll see this visitor and Aurora on the nest soon!

Thank you Bev, Androcat and Bettie for your scaps and observations. The comparison photos make a compelling case that this was an entirely new eagle. I hope Aurora, Denali, and new suitor are having a wonderful time together. ❤️❤️

Thank you Androcat, Bev, Bettie, Dee and all for the s’caps, photo comparisons and video. I agree that this new eagle is not Aurora or Redoubt. The tail feathers are whiter than Aurora’s and Redoubt’s always looked fuller. I hope This eagle returns, maybe with Aurora. (jmo)

THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 10

I am attaching a cute video from LadyDeeagle55’s YouTube channel. Magpies showed up at the Kenai nest yesterday evening. Magpies belong to the crow and raven family and are extremely intelligent. If they’re there, it’s for a beneficial reason. Thank you Dee for catching this visit!

:vid: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xJIs__U ... ture=share

Magpies have an undeserved bad reputation which has been perpetuated in literature. If you want to read a short article clarifying (and exonerating) the Magpie personality, check out this article from BBC.com

Have a wonderful day!
