Ed Kennell 40,494 #51 Posted April 22, 2015 Yeah, another few weeks and they will start to jump from the nest to the tree limbs. They are sitting dangerously close to the edge of the nest this morning. Looks like someone projected some waste toward the camera and smeared up the lens.

Ed Kennell 40,494 #52 Posted April 28, 2015 Rabbit for lunch today. Probably a welcome change from the fish. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AMC RULES 37,146 #53 Posted April 29, 2015 Another woodchuck maybe... watched one of the kids eating on it's own this morning, while Mom fed the other. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ed Kennell 40,494 #54 Posted April 29, 2015 I see a small ear this morning that does look more like a woodchuck. They are not the best looking birds at this stage of their development. Reminds me of a pair of awkward teenagers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AMC RULES 37,146 #55 Posted April 30, 2015 I'm thinking the lens of the camera... took a direct hit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ed Kennell 40,494 #56 Posted April 30, 2015 OK....who's volunteering to climb up there and clean the lens? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bmsgaffer 2,046 #57 Posted April 30, 2015 One thing I thought about at the very beginning (when I was looking into the tech they were using for this) is that they did have one system with a lens cleaner, but it required refilling, so I took a wild guess that thats not what they used here. We need a windshield wiper! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AMC RULES 37,146 #58 Posted April 30, 2015 ...and fix the sound while they're up there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AMC RULES 37,146 #59 Posted May 1, 2015 Is it just me... or is there really a live sound feed coming through the speakers now? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bmsgaffer 2,046 #60 Posted May 1, 2015 HA! Sound is coming through loud and clear now. Nothing better to fix sensitive electronics than a good blast of eaglet poop! This stuff might be valuable... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ed Kennell 40,494 #61 Posted May 11, 2015 Hey, check the cam.. we had a few showers this afternoon and I think it washed some of the poo off the lens. They have lost the down and have all their black feathers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AMC RULES 37,146 #64 Posted May 25, 2015 Figuring I was watching the first to hatch...testing it's wings, hovering over the nest today, was actually flying in place. Won't be long before they are slipping the surly bonds of earth. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ed Kennell 40,494 #65 Posted May 29, 2015 The lens is clean. They are really into test flights today. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AMC RULES 37,146 #66 Posted June 2, 2015 Woke up this morning...to see them working on a turtle. WT...eff? A living turtle, in a nest, on top of a tree? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rmaynard 15,919 #67 Posted June 2, 2015 Pretty crowded house this morning. Mom, dad, and both kids. They must have made short work of that turtle. Nest is pretty clean. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ed Kennell 40,494 #68 Posted June 2, 2015 I was also thinking that food looked scarce this morning Bob.Guess the early bird gets the turtle. I missed it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AMC RULES 37,146 #69 Posted June 2, 2015 Only one of them left in the in the nest this afternoon...other is testing his wings, out on a limb. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ed Kennell 40,494 #70 Posted June 2, 2015 Yeah, I see his tail out there on a limb on the right. I haven't checked them since this morning...Too busy getting the Raider 14 running for Van.That nest still looks skimpy on snacks. I wonder if this is part of the parents plan to encourage them to leave the nest and feed themselves. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wheel-N-It 2,971 #71 Posted June 2, 2015 Yeah, I see his tail out there on a limb on the right. I haven't checked them since this morning...Too busy getting the Raider 14 running for Van. Woo Hoo! I've been thinking about that Raider all morning, Thank you Ed 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ed Kennell 40,494 #72 Posted June 3, 2015 Wow...Mamma Eagle just landed in the nest with no food and one of the Eaglets attacked her and chased her off. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AMC RULES 37,146 #73 Posted June 6, 2015 Just watched one legitimately fly...from the farthest side of the nest, up and over the other one, landing on this side, facing the opposite direction. Betcha they're not in the nest for very much longer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AMC RULES 37,146 #74 Posted June 6, 2015 Mom was mauled just now...bringing what looks like a gosling into the nest. Just a little Scooby snack before bedtime. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
