Title: Santa Cruz Eagle's Nest 2007
Description: Getting Serious About Nestorations
Eagle Duo - February 4, 2007 03:47 AM (GMT)
All Eagles All The Time 2007 is an Archival/History in Videos and Still captures showing the various stages throughout the year in the lives of the Eagles on the Santa Cruz Nest.
First we have the Restoration of the nest....aka Nestorations by the A-49 Cruzers....The eagles started bringing sticks to their nest prior to the new year...but from January the pace has increased and the eagles are visiting regularly bringing more supplies to get the nest ready....the expectation is Eggs in February.
All these Videos and Stills have been selected by the capturers for this thread. You can see more videos and still pictures by visiting the Daily Observations thread. Now renamed Nest Watch
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.

Windstorm 2006 - The Day the Wind Blew December 27, 2006 The eagles were in and out all day .... energized by the wind! Captures taken by Cumbrian

She picks up another long curly one and he moves in to help her

She tries to drag it over to the right hand front of nest.........he is standing on it! and between her tugging and the wind he falls over.

Trying again to move ..... wind is hampering them............"Watch where you are putting that!"

More stick placing...............

"Hang on dear .... gust coming ...... this is called Wind Surfing! ......... Hunker down!"

7:04AM he returns again this time he has grass!...............

She comes down off the branch to make sure he has put it in the right place!

K10 & K26 start the day off doing nestorations on their nest in preparation for eaglets. Two spots to watch closely in the video are when K10 pokes himself with a stick he's moving and startles himself at 3:02. He then goes up to 'tease' K26, who doesn't seem to appreciate it much and leaves at 3:55. At 8:26 watch the lower left portion of the window for K26 flying by seconds before returning to the nest at 8:31.

First 6 pictures are the SC version of Moving the Couch at the WE nest!

I love the position of her foot here! ........ ......... ..........This stick needs to be up top

Keep pulling girl ....................................................................Nearly there!

He comes to help ....... but she is a female on a mission ........ and he is in the way ....
...... Poor K-10 he just about gets bowled over when she pushes past him with the stick!
The front branch is really bugging them, they keep trying to break it, but it won't budge

I'll try it from this side .....pulls really hard too! .................I give up!
Now the Patio section gets some attention

Needs some work down here ............................................Ok ... on my way to help!
