Maine Bald Eagle Cam Discussion

The Puget Sound EagleCam
Update March 2007 from the home page

“After two bald eagles fledged last year and dismantled the entire 4-foot diameter nest, the adult eagle pair returned in late fall to build a new nest in the same tree and fortunately in view of the existing camera. Join us this year as we follow the nesting behavior and activities of two pair of bald eagles. An egg appeared in the new nest on March 21st.”


Marcia has added a picture below from the eaglets first day. The hatch day was April 26th.

The main page for the Washington Dept of Fish and Wildlife “WildWatchCams” is:
http://wdfw.wa.gov/wildwatch/

From there, you can select from a drop down menu on the right for Puget Sound. The Kent cams are on the same drop down and it is rather convenient because you can toggle back and forth from the one spot.

OR, you can go direct to the cam with this link (thank you, Marcia)

Lots of cams to check in on .....and this is one more little baby to love and send on its way into the world.

This is the main page for Puget Sound, which will give you some history from last year.

The pictures below were taken yesterday. I didn't post them as I wanted to wait to check with Judy to see if it was OK to start a thread for them.




Oh dear, where did you go, Mom?




Where ARE you, Mom? I am getting worried and scared.....you have been gone a very long time




Oh Mom!!! there you are!! I am so happy to see you!



I think maybe my Mom needs some help here!

[Marcia]

Sherri I've been watching this cam for awhile now. I believe the egg is way overdue to hatch. There have been cam troubles but finally they have it back online. From what I've seen this nest has a good Mom and Dad and a healthy baby!

[Sherri]

These are from today....it would be good to have some pictures of both Mom and Dad on nest at same time so we can tell the difference.

Hm-m, I wonder if this wee baby will be able to dismantle the nest!

The egg hatched on April 26th.

In your picture #10 it looks like the 2nd egg could have a pip hole. However, it's looked that way since on or before 4/26. Here's the little one on it's first day

[Sherri]

AW-W, how cute! look how much it has grown in just 2 weeks!
glad you had the date and the picture so now we will be able to figure appx dates for fledging etc.

When I was watching yesterday I noticed how well it got around that nest!

Breathtaking sunrise at this nest! Various positions of the sun from about 5:54 to 6:21 AM (nest time)

[Sherri]

A little conversation here…..ps-s-st, do you think you could go get me some breakfast?



Oh good….I’ll just sit here and wait for my breakfast!
What ... No, silly…..I didn’t lay that egg! I’m too little!.



You’re back!! Ooh, I am so hungry! You are the best, Mom!



I just want to give you a big kiss or two!

Parent leaves but comes back with food!

[Sherri]

Note how eagle rips apart that fish.....and how 'let makes its way over closer to it!

[Sherri]

Ah, baby finally gets its share....
