Welcome! This thread started as a continuation of the EAGLE Chatters Nest thread on our old 2010-2017 forum (
link), which was initially a place for folks who followed the Southwest Florida Eagle Cam to have more relaxed discussions about the eagles and other things, since we do try to keep the observation threads for all the nests focused on what's happening with the eagles or other wildlife being observed.
The focus has changed over time, and it's now my pleasure to announce
The Wildlife Corner!
This may also change, but for now it's designed to be a place where everyone can discuss what they are seeing on the various cams and in their backyards or local parks or wherever. We have dedicated threads for a number of cams and nests without cams, and do ask that any important observations be posted there as well - but the focus here is intended to be less about the scientific studies we are compiling on those threads and more about what people find interesting, and why.
Standard disclaimer: Be kind. Keep it clean, respect each other's views, avoid politics and religion, have permission and give credit if posting the work of others. Enjoy.

The new page, the new page. Thanks, Mary, for transitioning us over to this new forum. It looks great!
Re-posting my reply here in case it was not seen in the "old" Chatters forum.
Hard to beat you, Phil
Sorry to hear about the situation in Dale Hollow. Eagles prayers for that family.

Oh no. I’m very sad.
About Smola nest, baron, baroness and solo.
Important Announcement 3.2.18~ From Editor Trygve Sørvaag ~
I am very sorry to inform everyone that the live Smola eagle cam with Baron & Baroness has gone offline permanently. Today I'm as tired as you guys. I'm one of many, many of whom have followed Baron Blue and Baronesse Barfot by fast-paced cameras in the mooring at Smøla. Therefore, it is no pleasure to announce today that we will no longer send live from the Eagle Eagle or the other cameras at Smøla. The explanation is simple: the Zoo editorial staff simply has no budgets to continue.
I would like to thank you personally for all the wonderful viewers who have followed us through the last two years. Without you, we would never have had this. Their commitment on the pages and in the comments box means that we have a very good overview of what happened in the nest hour by hour. Without that effort, we had definitely missed a lot of highlight. A big thank you to Svein Junge and the team who have led the eagle project locally.
Now we are thanking us from Smøla and wish Baron Blå and Baronesse Barfot good luck with the next breeding season. May there be many new kids to strengthen the vulnerable oat stock!
With best regards
Trygve Sørvaag

Oh! Very sad, too, to hear about the Smola cams not continuing. Watching Baron, Baroness and adorable Solo last year was my first introduction to the White Tailed Eagles. Solo was such a joy and a character; I know he enriched many of our lives with his antics, explorations, and love for his parents (and vise versa).

Something really different... does anyone have news from Nestfriend ?
I tried to contact her but no answer. Maybe she's on holidays

I’m right here with all of you. Trying to figure things out in this forum. Pascale, I just saw your message and answered you. I’m very sad about what I just read about the Smola nest.
I’ve been enjoying and at times crying, reading all of your posts, but have been so incredibly busy to post anything. Sorry!

Stevie, may you travel on the winds of time with never another worry. I have been inspired by your gallant effort of survival during your short life, but your path has a different meaning now and whatever that holds for you, I know you will excel at it. Fly like the wind forever more.
Rainna
NestFriend, may you find some quiet and calmness, quality of free time very soon!
By the way just carve out a trip to the local ice cream store and have yourself a treat, by yourself and for yourself! Just because you can!
