Thank you Kitcat, but I must pass that thank you on to Bev. since she posted the link and scap.
However, I just was told on chat that Dr. Sharpe thinks there might have been another egg laid on a new nest that they're constructing. This is a very interesting year here.

[Kitcat11848]

Wow, now that will interesting. Wonder how they can incubate both nests let alone brood and feed if they both hatch.

Sorry Bev, I totally missed that it was you who posted the link to the video and the s’cap. My apologies. Thanks jwin for bringing it to my attention.

Fund Drive for Hard Drives

Good afternoon, everyone! I have just learned that we do not have the hard drives we need to record our cams as we approach little chick time - and we do not have the funds necessary to buy them.

These are the high resolution drives that are connected directly to the cams at the site, making it possible to record high quality videos of events at the nests - and we usually have them up and running before the eggs are laid. As you know, we already have eggs at three of our four nests, and they are likely any day now at the fourth nest - so time is of the essence.

Our tech person Ken is estimating that it will cost about $7000 to buy the high quality, high capacity drives needed for our 9 cams, and while we are keeping up with our regular monthly expenses, we don't have the extra money needed to buy and install the hard drives.

I know this is a hard time financially for many of us, with many businesses closed - but it may also be a time when some of us are staying home and watching the eagles after cancelling planned trips or dinners out - and I'd like to ask those who can to contribute towards these hard drives.

Details about How to Donate

Thank You!
