7:52 pm I checked back to the last post on both cams and the nest remained empty until 3:07 pm when Dee came flying in followed shortly after by Ess at 3:10 pm. The next hour and some was spent wandering around the nest eating anything and everything they could lay there beaks on.

At 4:33 pm Dee (ID's confirmed on closeup cam) retired to the slanted trunk perch and Ess remained on the side of the nest watching for any possible incoming parent. She took a short rest break at 6:34 pm then got up again and went back to the side of the nest to keep watch at 6:48 pm. Dee still kept watch from the slanted trunk and there they both remain ever hopeful someone will bring them something to eat.

Eventually they both decided to leave.

:vid:Dee and Ess finally give up and leave


9:52 pm Shortly after leaving, Dee arrived back at the nest again at 8:07 pm. She was squealing all the way - I half expected a parent to follow her in but neither did. However, I could hear one in the background calling out.

Dee must have been able to see him/her because she carried on squealing for sometime - then finally quieted down.

Dee settles down

10:33 pm Dee is still on the nest and it looks like she is spending the night!

1:12 am Don't know what's going on this evening - the off nest eaglet has been calling out off and on since midnight! I keep expecting to see her arrive at the nest as the calls are really close but nothing yet!

Good morning, everyone.

Ess arrived at 5:06 am.
20190716_002.jpg

They did a bit of pecking at each other (nothing serious, more like they were checking to see if the other one was hiding food). One flew off from the nest at 5:13, and the other flew off from one of the perches at 5:15 - so perhaps they saw an adult with food, and went to where the adult was. I heard a few calls.


Ess(?) was on the nest briefly at 8:03 am.

It's now 8:12 am, and I haven't seen any other visits, though I was looking quickly.

I will reboot North, and then I'm out for a while. I think there's a chickadee on the nest, though it's really hard to tell with the pixelating.

Good morning everyone. Thank you Irisheyes for the weather report and nightowl for starting us off again this morning, Sounds like we may be in for some rain.. I don't mind it because it waters the plants..lol. Thank you, Judy, for the report on our little fledgelings. I looked back but couldn't find anything. I have seen a few Chickadee's in the nest from time to time, I think they eat all the ..natures house keepers. :)

The cams were rebooted about an hour ago, so I can't check back too far - but I did find an adult (I think Sur) on the nest with food at 12:34 pm.

It sounded as if I could hear one of the fledglings - but no one showed up, and I think he flew off with the food at 12:43 pm (he had been nibbling, so there was less of it by then - but it looked to me as if he carried something off.

I think this is Res who arrived at 1:52 pm (I'm seeing a white stripe on one of her feathers)
20190716_005.jpg

And I still haven't figured which fledgling followed her in and grabbed the prize, which I think is a fish (hard to tell in a still picture - but looked to be a bullhead as the fledgling waved it around).

I'm leaning towards Ess - but haven't had a good look at the tail yet.


2:26 pm
I realized she's finished her meal and resting (and calling for more food) - and this looks like Ess to me.

10:15 pm Just spent the last half hour looking through DVR's on the north and south cams. Picked up a visit from res at 4:10 pm - she came in with nothing in her talons. She was there just over a minute and made a hasty departure (4:10 pm) when she heard one of the kidlets coming. Whichever eaglet it was did not make a landing in the nest or on one of her perching spots but disappeared behind the leaves at the upper top of the tree. If you watch closely, you can see her leave, do the circle and again land in the leaves somewhere. I couldn't make out where, to see if she left.

:vid: A quick visit from Res and fly-by from eaglet


I'm feeling more and more like each visit we record will be the last as the food deliveries become less and less frequent.

There were no further visits from either parent or eaglet.

Good morning, everyone!

One of the fledglings arrived at the nest around 6:17 am - very pixelated, but I got this - I'm thinking Ess.
20190717_002.jpg

Except that then I got this - which looks more like Dee. :chin:
20190717_003.jpg

Let's just say one of the fledglings arrived! :)

And as of 6:34, she's on the upper perch and occasionally calling for food.

I'm going to reboot North, then have breakfast - back in a while.

from the dvr....

At 6:45 am, we had a patient fledgling on the upper perch, calling occasionally. And then the fledgling jumped down and an adult arrived with a fish - which the fledgling immediately grabbed.
20190717_004.jpg



Then the second fledgling arrived, and the adult wisely got out of the way!
20190717_005.jpg

And after a brief tussle, the newcomer got the fish away from the one who had been patiently calling and waiting. It was one of those mixed-feeling moments - it wasn't exactly fair - but it was a great job by the new arrival seeing where the food was and grabbing it before the one on the nest knew what happened. (I'm looking through the wide-angle part of the video first - and don't know who is who yet.) New arrival with meal is on the right.
