Weathering the Storm- Nest Notes, Photos & Videos for Feb 13

Strong thunderstorms with high winds swept through the area last evening. Harriet was at the nest to give shelter to E4 while the storm raged on. The cameras were affected but there were glimpses throughout the day from a few camera views and reports from watchful ground observers.  What is known is that Ozzie, Harriet and E4 weathered the storm and went on with their daily activities. It appeared that Ozzie and Harriet brought fresh fish to feed E4 and did some tidying up of the nest. E4 is still… Read More »Weathering the Storm- Nest Notes, Photos & Videos for Feb 13

Early morning vocals were heard from Ozzie and Harriet and E4 was awake and waiting for food deliveries to begin. The nest was again filled with plentiful fish catches.

Fish & More Fish! Nest Notes, Photos & Videos for Feb 11

Ozzie was the great fisherman today. He began the morning with a fresh catch delivery to hungry and waiting E4. Harriet soon arrived to finish the feeding. Mom seems to love her time feeding E4. There were lots of flights to and from the nest tree by Ozzie and Harriet that E4 watched and tracked with keen Eaglet eyes.  Harriet brought fresh pine again today and sticks for some “nestorations” and rail building. Ozzie’s hunting skills landed at least 4 more fish in the nest, some still flopping. E4 had… Read More »Fish & More Fish! Nest Notes, Photos & Videos for Feb 11

Easy Breeze Monday- Nest Notes, Photos & Videos for Feb 10

It was a beautiful, sunny and breezy start to the morning at the nest. Ozzie’s early morning delivery arrived with fur today and looked like an opossum who possibly met its demise crossing the road.

Mom stepped in to finish the meal and E4’s crop was very full.  Ozzie had free time today, took a bath in the pond and perched in one of… Read More »Easy Breeze Monday- Nest Notes, Photos & Videos for Feb 10

Growing Strong Bonds- Nest Notes, Photos & Video for Feb 9

The first meal of the day was delivered with white feathers. Harriet began the de-feathering process and it looked as if snow was flying in the nest. E4 joined in grabbing at feathers too. The afternoon was quiet and E4 took many long naps in the favorite spot near the edge of the nest. Mom offered E4 some needed shade from the hot afternoon sun. Ozzie arrived in the late afternoon with a fish and was greeted by eager E4 who stood though most of the feeding. E4 is growing… Read More »Growing Strong Bonds- Nest Notes, Photos & Video for Feb 9

E4 Standing Strong- Nest Notes, Videos & Photos for Feb 5

I broke out of my shell and came into the world at 10:21 am on Christmas Day, 2013 with the help of my sibling E3. I looked up to my sibling and let E3 take the lead. I became submissive to E3’s needs. My sibling helped me break out of my shell in more ways than one. I learned to overcome my fears and became courageous. I rose up from my shyness and took a stand. I gained the strength I needed to get my needs met.  When the time… Read More »E4 Standing Strong- Nest Notes, Videos & Photos for Feb 5

As the Eagle family adjusts to daily life since the passing on of precious E3, Ozzie and Harriet hunted, stood guard and brought nest materials for their sweet and growing E4. E4’s day consisted of busying himself waiting for meal time and watching the outside world go by. Dad spent time with E4 counting the passing cars as E4 did many times with E3. All attention is focused on E4’s growth and protection.  Mom and Dad each delivered fresh fish and E4 ate to his heart’s content. E4 is growing… Read More »Moments in Time- Nest Notes, Photos & Videos for Feb. 4

Staying Positive- Nest Notes, Photos & Videos for Feb 3

Ozzie, Harriet and sweet E4 appeared to tread very carefully and mindfully of E3’s still little body as it lay in the center of the nest. In Ozzie and Harriet’s world reality seems simple. They may mourn their loss in whatever way Eagles do but their instinct proves they must carry out their obligation to care for E4 and each other. Mom and Dad brought fish and prey to hungry E4 who greeted their arrivals eagerly with very vocal chattering. E4 has learned lessons very well, stepping up aggressively for… Read More »Staying Positive- Nest Notes, Photos & Videos for Feb 3
