Our beloved pair, Jackie and Shadow, must still have some important eagle business to attend to around their habitat as they have been a bit elusive this past week or so.
Since their morning nest visit together thirteen days ago, and Shadow's first stick delivery that same afternoon, the cameras have still likely captured each of them on various trees this past week. There have been hawks, as well as ravens, hanging around the lake that Jackie and Shadow may have had to deal with or chase off as they are out and about defending their territory.
Tuesday afternoon, they made their presence known as one of them perched on the Lookout Snag while a hawk briefly stopped by the Cactus Snag. Later, an eagle returned and was spotted again for almost an hour on the Lookout Snag and then one headed to the Twin Pine. For the moment, they seem to still be busy perching and defending during the day and sleeping somewhere other than the Roost Tree at night.
Yesterday morning, one of our pair was on their favorite Lookout Snag, again for nearly an hour. As it was leaving, a talon got caught up on a branch and it was a bit unsettling for a moment until it was freed and then was able to fly off unhindered. Later in the afternoon, one of them landed on the Twin Pine and was partially hidden as it perched and observed in the branches for an hour and a half.
Nestorations typically begin to pick up around mid-November with more sticks and regular eagle visits, as they begin to prepare the nest for eggs. We are also hoping to hear more of those lovely eagle chortles again soon, as well as see their nightly visits back in the Roost Tree. Until then, since they know best, we will continue to be patient and wait for their perfect timing!
Our wide-view cam2 is fully functional with the return of the pan and zoom features, and again all necessary work was done from the ground.
