this nest is getting built up by Abby and one of two males.Both work on nest . This morning we had Abby bring in sticks and hay and mossman bring in hay. They both worked on nest. Mossman testing it out as he did last night.
Abby spent night again.

This has been so intriguing to watch. keep watching. wh o knows here. I love them all. Mossmans foot injury has healed.

march 10
now 2 adult males( after 4ish) and the chase was on. It lasted for over 2 hours, off and on. Even after Abby and mossman settled to snag tree, a chase ensued I hope no one gets hurt.
love all these eagles.

this video is long but I edited two hours. you get a good idea of what went on. I do believe. I have not had tim e to review video , so later I may have males figured out. other male was Skippy, but had trouble with Id

who knows what is going on here

[bev.]

march16

so up until march 11 we had moss man again and then Shep came in and laid in nest for a bit

they were rebuilding nest again. (mossman an d Abby)








and now Skippy keeps coming in but no sign of any other males. He is really majestic. Abby is here occasionally but have no tseen her today. she was here yesterday in early morning, with skippy


I truly hope that at least one male is the sole male and so next year, he and Abby can build . Every one of these males build the nest , but we shall see.

will continue to do what I can

stay safe be well

[bev.]

For last few days we have had 2 adults, who I believe to beSkippy and Abby. We have had a young owl, a vulture

The adults spent 2 days in a row at nest at night. Abby brought in sticks and moss yesterday March 20. And I believe it wacAbby that spent the night last night.


Have been so busy but wil really try to post a few recent pictures

Stay safe Be well

I am getting this on all of the cams now. I'm guessing that they have turned the cams off since there has been no new pair for this nest.

..
I found a notice on their FB page saying they had a power outage. I will see about new links for the cams

..LINKS ARE ALL CHANGED----No eagles seen.

Here is the announcement from the Eagle Country folks concerning the early end of the 2021 season./b]


Eagle Country

Hello Friends of EC!
As all of you have been watching and are aware, the events of this season at the nest have been unexpected and surprising! Our previous resident eagles, Victoria & Nicholas, did not return this year (that we can confirm). In their absence, EC has hosted a very successful, if not competitive, Bed & Breakfast at the nest. We don’t know about you, but it has been hard to keep a head count of who has come and gone! Numerous males have vied for the attention of Abigail (Abby), the female that has been fairly consistent, and many aerial challenges have ensued. Also in the line up of visitors, have been several beautiful juvenile eagles. We have whimsically speculated that Spur may be coming back with a “have you missed me yet” attitude!

We understand that nature is completely unpredictable and the turn of events this season has reminded us of that very fact. It does not appear that we have an established pair and therefore, will likely not have a nesting season. Because of this, we have determined with the help of our moderators, that we will be closing the season at EC on March 31st.

We want to give a BIG “Thank You” to our moderators who have navigated some tricky waters this season. Also, to all Friends and viewers of EC, thank you all for joining us on the adventure! We couldn’t have seen the turn of events coming, but we are so glad that you all have watched, chatted, commented and supported this season!

Have a great summer and may God bless you all!

[MaryF]
