Walking, Talk and Carrying Sticks- Nest Notes, Photos & Videos for Feb. 6

The day on the nest showed more growth, new activities and lots to learn for E4. Ozzie and Harriet spent time on and off the nest with E4 becoming very aware, tracking their moves and sounding greetings. E4 is very vocal with sweet chattering and seems to have a lot to say these days. Dad brought a fresh fish and Mom delivered fresh pine and branches. E4 rushed to see what each arrival was and became very excited when it was something to eat. E4 practiced balancing, standing, walking and… Read More »Walking, Talk and Carrying Sticks- Nest Notes, Photos & Videos for Feb. 6

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

Moments in Time- Nest Notes, Photos & Videos for Feb. 4

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

Remembering E3- Nest Notes, Videos and Photos- Feb 2

In the quiet and peaceful early morning hours sweet E3 passed on to soar to greater heights. Little sibling E4 was there to comfort and help send E3 on her way. Some native cultures believe the Eagle carries prayers to the Creator. Many cultures have spiritual connections to Eagles believing they represent strength, knowledge, faith, courage, vision and freedom to mention a few. There are centuries old legends connecting man and eagles. We have learned many lessons by observing them. Although E3 was on the earth short time we were… Read More »Remembering E3- Nest Notes, Videos and Photos- Feb 2

A Sad Day- Statement on E3’s Passing

It is with heavy hearts, we bring you an update on E3- this season’s elder eaglet: After a few days of a noticeable behavior change, E3’s health deteriorated and passed away in the nest early this morning.   While we may never know what caused the death of E3, we hope the documented videos and reports will help educate biologists and researchers & possibly save future eagles/eaglets. We all mourn together with the reminder that we are merely observers; given the rare and unique opportunity to witness these eagles in the… Read More »A Sad Day- Statement on E3’s Passing

E3’s Change in Behavior- What we Know

A number of viewers have remarked on the change in behavior of E3 lately. There can be a number of reasons for the change:  Up until recently E3 consumed the lion’s share of nutrition and grew at a fast pace – which is completely normal. During their development there does come a time when the demand for food does appear to decrease. Partly it is our perception because it seems they don’t eat as frequently. But the larger pieces they consume at a feeding now fills the crop much faster.… Read More »E3’s Change in Behavior- What we Know

Singing in the Rain- Nest Notes, Photos & Videos for Jan 31

The second full day of rain seems to have got the best of E3 and E4. This day started out wet and soggy but turned out to be better allowing Ozzie, Harriet and the E’s to begin drying out. Ozzie delivered a UFO (unidentified food item) and a fresh fish. It is always interesting to see what is on the menu for mealtime. Harriet came to the nest to serve the fish to E3 and E4 since she always appears to want to feed the E’s. E4 is very vocal… Read More »Singing in the Rain- Nest Notes, Photos & Videos for Jan 31

Rain, Rain Go Away! Nest Notes, Photos & Videos for Jan 30

Rain, Rain Go Away E3 and E4 got a good dose of the steady rain that has been falling for the last day. Nature provides what nature needs but little E’s may have been very tired of all this wetness. Mom and Dad did their best to shield E3 and E4 from the elements but their growing bodies were not so easy to cover. Ozzie and Harriet were also on guard duty as a possible intruder flew by the nest in the afternoon. The rain put a great damper on… Read More »Rain, Rain Go Away!

Wings of Love- Nest Notes, Videos & Photos for Jan 29

It was a foggy start to the day and E3 and E4 looked for their morning feeding which was left over from yesterday. Dad brought most of the food and Mom delivered sticks and branches to build up the nest rails. The feeding times were very calm with each E waiting its turn for a bite. The sibling rivalry and competition for food seems to be subsiding. As the day progressed, rain arrived and cooler weather with it.Today’s new “E lessons” –the weather isn’t always sunny and warm and wet… Read More »Wings of Love- Nest Notes, Videos & Photos for Jan 29
