Bonjour Philjo

Before sunrise on January 22, 2019, look eastward or in the general direction of sunrise
to see the conjunction of the planets Venus and Jupiter in the predawn/dawn sky.
At conjunction, these two brilliant worlds shine north and south of one another on the sky’s dome,
with Jupiter passing 2.5 degrees south of Venus.

Bonjour Philjo and Ferenz. Wow all the posts gone from yesterday??? Well I will try and put the pics back in and the video of the third eagle! Hopefully that eagle was just after the food that was brought in to the nest and not a repeat from last season Also love the lessons with the planets Ferenz! they are so beautiful in the early morning sky.

Weather forecast for the nest today

Tuesday cont...

Freedom brought a fish to the nest, missing the head of course! Males favorite part of the fish and soon after Liberty comes in for breakfish on the nest. Her crop is huge so she didn't even finish the fish. When she was done she joined Freedom in their favorite perching tree

Hi Philjo, Ferenz, Photofun and Hanover fans. Thanks for the latest images, I'm so happy to see "Lib and Fred" in their usual mode. I worry more about all nests lately because of recent disasters, but especially in this nasty cold/ice for the more northerly ones. Yesterday was nuts in that nest. I happened to check in at HDOnTap and caught a lot of it on my desktop computer. Will add some images from there later, if yours are still missing.

HI magben! nice to see you again. Liberty and Freedom are doing great! And with over 7000 feathers they can handle this cold a lot better then we can even think about it. Both have huge crops and seem to be eating well!

Always welcome pictures The bulk of my pics from yesterday are on another computer which i won't have access to until later today... sooooo by all means add yours

Announcement

Hi everyone!

Well, our tech person tried to update the forum software last night, and it didn't go as planned. Fortunately he had a backup from yesterday morning, and was able to restore that, so we only lost the posts from yesterday. But we did lose a day's work - and we are sorry for that.

He has been doing more research, and thinks he understands what went wrong, and we really do need to do the update, so he may be trying again tonight or tomorrow night. As before, we expect the forum to be offline for perhaps an hour or two while the update loads - and we both have our fingers crossed that things will go smoothly and everything will be back to normal.

If we have any news while the update is going on, we'll be posting it on our backup WildlifeCamWatch forum here - http://www.wildlifecamwatch.com/viewtop ... 1544#p1544; you don't need to register there to read the updates.

Thanks for your patience and understanding.

Thank you Judy for the update on the forum! fingers crossed for the updates to be smoother this time

Photos and posts from 1/21/19 that were lost

At one point Liberty scoonched in the nest bole and kind of knocked Freedom over and off the nest.. her expression was priceless!

A couple of favorites from the Monday afternoon uproar.

Something draws someone's attention away from the meal. (Liberty? There was considerable debate at HDOnTap about which eagle ate most of the fish in the nest.)

Later, when things had settled down

Wow thanks magben for the snaps from Monday! It was indeed Liberty with the fish, Good ol' Freedom was wonderful mate to protect his mate and the fish

My pleasure and I'm so happy you can confirm that was Liberty. I was having fun with those scaps, all the excitement, and the sight of that fish being consumed with gusto because I was sure it was our girl who was enjoying it. But I don't know the marks of this pair quite as well as some others so it was a real buzzkill when viewers started speculating that the food-winner might be a male outsider. In the end, all the comments and scaps left me with the impression that the third eagle was a sub-adult either trying to steal or being stolen from and had wound up the loser, and that my non-expert "gut I.D." had been correct. (The HDOnTap team was on the case and provided us with a video clip soon after the incident, but I never got around to actually watching it.) I kind of got dragged into last season's drama feet first, and it was a rough ride for this snowflake. Like everyone I was thrilled when Liberty returned to Freedom's side. So I am becoming quite attached to these two

Freedom came from the roost mid way from the far roost. Liberty was still there watching. He tested the nest bole and taking notes on what else is needed. Liberty left the night roost and went to another tree close to the far roost. Both are roosting together now.
