Title: Sauces Canyon Eagle's Nest 2010/2011
Description: Here a Chick! There a Chick!
Cumbrian - April 10, 2011 06:09 AM (GMT)
As you know All Eagles All The Time 2010/2011 is an Archival/History in Videos and Still captures showing the various stages throughout the year in the lives of the Eagles on the Sauces Canyon Nest on Santa Cruz Island.
"Sauces" is not pronounced as in 'applesauce' but more like SOW-ces. It's Spanish for "willows"
Thanks to JanT for this information.
This nest just recently came online so we have only observed a short time of the Eggs/Incubation stage. But here we are at the most exciting stage the Hatching of the Chicks and their Early Development...... so this is where we will put the Chicks and their Development stages ... because that leads us into eaglets and fledglings.
As you know all these Videos/Stills and Screen Captures .. have been selected .. as their favourites ... by the members who have captured them on Nest Watch.
You can see more videos and still pictures by visiting the Daily Observations thread. Also known as Nest Watch.
Again we ask you not to post comments in this thread Viewing Only Please. This will enable faster viewing by Dr. Peter Sharpe and the IWS Team ... for record purposes ... and also for Members and visitors to the forum.
Capturers are asked to wait until Cumbrian or EDblue (Eagle Duo) posts the first thread of each day before posting or reserving a space for your captures of the day to keep continuity to the archives.

Some type of alert has both eagles upset. Mom flew off leaving chick alone. She returned quickly followed by Dad.
More calling out and Mom flew off again, Dad is feeding the chick and things seem to have quieted down.

A WINDY DAY ON THE NEST! April 13, 2011 4:21pm - A-27 fed rather gingerly in the high wind

Looked like a yawn from A-27 - 5:44pm

A-27 was upset - 5:58pm

A WINDY DAY ON THE NEST! April 13, 2011
A27 flying in with a large fish in her talons at 2:30pm

A27 hops to left of the nest with the fish still in her talons....A40 rises & literally gets lifted off the nest by the wind

A40 goes up up & away! . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . The wind catches A27's tail as she tries to feed the chick

The wind catches her tail or her wings every time she tries to feed the chick

Trying to keep her balance in the wind takes a lot of work.

She eventually gives up trying to feed the chick at this time.
