2012 Nesting Season!

The PH nest of ... K-10/m & K-26/f ... has 1 chick that hatched on April 13th.

The SC nest of ... A-40/m & A-27/f ... has Twins that hatched on April 8th and April 11th.

The TH nest of ... K-81/m & K-82/f ... had 1 chick that hatched on March 29th. A fox took the eaglet during the early hours of April 20th.

The WE nest of ... K-01/m & Wray/f ... has Triplets that hatched on March 29th, March 30th and April 3rd.


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

Now there are chicks, it will be interesting to see what kind of prey is brought to the nests.

Please continue to post observations in the usual way ... 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 on a nest are a great help to those of us who video when we are editing the footage.

Remember 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.



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!

No Videos Taken Yesterday:

“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 no parent in view, eaglets gather in the center beside the rock...getting fidgety now...one older sib sits or stands...

walks over to #3 and and in the process rouses the other ..

WE all three up and active now, one older sib backs to the 3-4 for ps? off screen...

#3 plops back down to nap, the original riser backs to the 11ish and seems to fluff wings and lays down...walks forward still fluffing wings and lays next to #3...both back to sleep...

WE looks like #1 at the 4...does wingers and remains upright watching and preening...

moves towards the two sleeping and checks out #3....

WE all three back in the pile at nest center, asleep

SC daylight comes over the ridge as the eaglets sleep together closer to 12, no parent in view...

WE two older sibs are up, #2 watches to our left peeps/calls out...#1 watches to our right...

#3 sleeps

WE 5.38.
#1 and Metoo sit at center preening. #1 sit directly behind Metoo, like a choo choo train. A little beaking and more preening right where they sit. #2 stands at the 10 preening.

5.39
Metoo lays down at the 9 to the 3. #1 watches to the right.

5.42
#1 lays down next to Metoo to the 9.

WE 5.51.
#2 begins to do wingercises at the 12 as it watches for the arrival of breakfast. Then searches the 11 for tidbits.

WE 6.00.
#2 wingers around its sibs and over to the 3. Still keeping watch for a parent. Then moves to the front.

6.02
Now #2 moves to the rock and begins to pester #1. Soon, Metoo and #1 are mock beaking and #2 somehow steps between and begins mock beaking with both of its sibs.

6.03
All are up again. Metoo moves to the rear to back to the 1 for a PS. #2 stands at the 9 in front of #1 who now sits and preens.
