Nest Watch – Thursday, March 29, 2012, Pip! Pip! Hooray...for K01 & Wray!

PLEASE READ


We now have FOUR nests with eggs.

The PH nest of .. K-10/m & K-26/f .. had TWO eggs .. laid March 6th & March 9th ... unfortunately one egg was lost on March 27th.

The SC nest of .. A-40/m & A-27/f .. has TWO eggs .. laid March 2nd & March 6th

The TH nest of .. K-81/m & K-82/f .. had TWO eggs .. laid February 19th & February 22nd ... unfortunately one egg was lost on March 26th.

The WE nest of .. K-01/m & Wray/f .. has THREE eggs .. laid February 18th, February 22nd & February 26th

Check out the dates on the Calendar .. top right of this page .. for further information .. videos etc.

The adults will be taking turns incubating it and normally during this time, or at a switch, the eggs will also be rolled. This is to prevent the developing embryo/chick from sticking to the inside of the shell.

While IWS is interested in the above information, and would be especially interested in knowing if an adult leaves the nest and the egg(s) are uncovered for a while, Dr. Sharpe has indicated in the past that he also wants us to simply enjoy the experience of watching all the happenings on the nests and learn more about these magnificent birds through the wonder of the Nest Cams.

Therefore, please continue to post observations in the usual way, but should you observe a parent switch or notice that the adult is not on the nest, it would be helpful to all of us if the time(s) could also be noted/posted ... along with whatever else you observe happening on the nest at that time.

Times of events/changes on a nest are a great help to those of us who video when we are editing the footage.


Just a few Gentle Reminders about posting on this thread. (Helps to save time when reading through it.)

Please remember that it is the CHANNEL ISLANDS NESTS ONLY...either on or off camera...that we post our observations/comments about.

There are FOUR nests with cameras online...so it is important to know WHICH NEST you are observing.

Please put the Initials at the start of your post...

These nests are all in California...so it's Pacific Time on this coast.

We prefer that the Quote Button is not used on this thread...and if you must use it...because you are referring to something on a previous page...then take TEXT only...never captures or video.

Thanks!

“A request from Dr. Sharpe”

To make it easier for the biologists to see the prey deliveries, please limit the use of the blue fish to prey deliveries only.

Begin your post with the nest initials, followed by the time of delivery & the blue fish.

Thank you!

Bringing Forward:

After hours of working on the feeds yesterday, it seems, at least for my computers, that the embedded media players don't seem to work with Firefox running on Windows XP. Therefore I've added a second all cams page with only Ustream feeds. It is at http://www.iws.org/interactive_nestchat_allUstream.html. There is also a link above the West End cam on the page with the media player streams.

WE ... Wray gave us a peek ...





TH ... K-82 also rolled her egg but too fast for a capture.

Or I was too slow!

Good Night.

TH 4.05.
K82 is up and preening. She stands in the bowl to the 3.

4.07
She works the bowl and turns to the 10 to settle in with head on the nest.

4:30 AM

SC - Both eagles on the nest. Surprised to see that at this hour. A40 up and looking around, A27 just got herself settled in the nest bowl. Just logged on so didn't see anything prior.

TH - K82 has her head tucked in and sleeping. Oh now she's at the alert!

WE - Looks like Wray may be sleeping, too

WE - Wray just got up, nudged the eggs and settled back down. With her back to the camera only got a partial look at two eggs.

WE 4.37.
Wray rises and works around the eggs fluffing. 2 eggs in view, then 3.

4.38
She settles back down to the 9


TH 4.38.
K82 has been watching to the left for some time now. She fluffs a little, then looks to the front and right.

4.40
She turns to the 11 to preen her chest, then turns to the 3 to Roll the egg and fluff.

TH - K82 just got up, repositioned herself and rolled the egg presumably. I never actually saw the egg, but I did see the top of something get tucked under her breast.

SC- 4:35 AM
Some kink of owl very nearby, both adults on the nest. A40 stands beside A27 some is incubating. The audio is on and off.






A40 trying to get past the A27, but the steps a few times on the A27. A27 get up and A40 pass her and jumps up on the nest branch. Det seemed that A40 could not see very much.

Wray rises slightly in the bowl and seems to watch over the rock...
