2012 Nesting Season!

The PH nest of ... K-10/m & K-26/f ... has 1 chick that hatched on April 13th and was banded on June 10th as A-84.

The SC nest of ... A-40/m & A-27/f ... has Twins that hatched on April 8th and April 11th and were banded on June 8th as A-81 & A-82.

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 and is known as 5Z.


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.

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.

Bringing Forward . . .


Posted 6/12/12 by Dr. Sharpe on Chat:

“There is no connection to the WE nest cam. Hopefully it is power related and will come back if there is ever sun there.
If it is not power related then it is down until September.
June Gloom. Usually over by August.”

SC - A81 sleeping at the front of the nest, A82 lying down in front of the perch at back, sort of camouflaged by nesting materials. Both eaglets heads pop up suddenly as they look to the left. 82 goes back to snoozing, 81 preens and scratches a bit.

PH we can see the WB A84 on the nest, can barely make out Precious no parent in view...cam may be frozen

WE no view here...


adult trumpets, sounds like Wray at WE????

WE ...we have a view now, all three accounted for...

one WBd eaglet on the rock, the other at the 1-2 and 5z in the bowl area...



SC A81 does wingers from the 5...up close to the cam

A82 is awake and up at the 12...finds a nest over and flaps and pounces on it...

SC A81 flaps and hops all the way to the very edge at 2...


uh oh, A82 is backing to the edge with back directly to the cam.....


goes to color....and A82 continues to pick at the nest over, A81 flaps all across the 12 and back to the edge perch at 2...

SC squeals of excitement as the eaglets anticipate a parent's arrival with prey...

looks like A27 arrived from the left rear with a big silver fish...it was grabbed by A82 and mantled....

A81 moves in for the steal....sneaks in from behind right under 82's wings and pulls the fish away!

now A81 eats, A82 is pickig for tidbits where the fish once lay ...

SC A82 blocks our view of A81 as/she stands and waits for a chance at the prey....

PH refresh, and still frozen...
