Nest Watch – Sunday, June 03, 2012, Hope to see the WE family soon!

PLEASE READ


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 and were banded on May 25th as K-27 & K-24. The youngest eaglet, #3, was too small to get wingblings so has two leg bands instead.


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!

In case you haven’t seen these awesome updates yet, here are the links to them! Check them out!


Catalina Island Update


Santa Cruz Island Update

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.

Bringing Forward . . .

Posted 5/30/12 on Facebook:

One or more of the nine antennas necessary to get the West End cam to the closest internet connection are malfunctioning. I may be able to replace it (them) early next week.


Posted 5/31/12 on Chat:

Enjoy the TH cam today because I'll probably remove the camera and microphone tomorrow to be used elsewhere. I'll replace the camera in the fall.

I may put the camera at the West End and the microphone at PH.

SC parent on perch asleep, one eaglet stands below her asleep...


second eagl;et asleep at nest center...

WE another new but still frozen pic...one sib stands at the 11, #3 closeby seems headed to the 12, and the other sib close to the cam at 6....WBs unreadable

SC the stander goes back to cuddle with sib, all seem to be asleep....

SC parent awake, still perched...

eaglets fidget at nest center...

WE

...we may not know for sure who was #1 and who was #2

Quote : I don't know which is #1 and #2. The largest bird is #27 at 4.5 kg. #24 was 3.7 kg, and 5Z was 3.17 kg. The largest bird is not necessarily the oldest bird.

AND

K-24 was the most feisty, but only when getting it out of the nest because it was standing. The other two were lying down


and, as we know.....
#27 banded a female and #24 a male....

WE: It is also interesting that Dr. Sharpe stated under another question that K5Z was about 2 weeks behind in development. She is not that far behind in weight as K24 as it is.

I do think our little Metoo is going to be a big girl one of these days.

SC - 7:10am - Came in the room to see a parent on the branch behind the nest.

No idea if any prey was delivered.

Flew off to the left a few seconds later.
