Sutton notes posted on webcam site...

*Two of our staff visited the nest site and several miles around it yesterday to
evaluate the situation. They observed 15 eagles (7 of which were adults), and located four nests,
although none had signs of eagle activity. The pair of adults we believe nests on
the tower each year flew in and perched on the crossbar around dusk. This pair is
traditionally one of the later nesting pairs in the state, often not laying until early February.

BEFORE DARK PHOTOS...
DOES THE EAGLE HAVE A DIRTY HEAD :shock:

That must have been a different eagle - looking for leftovers. There's not much left of that nest! If they want to nest there this year they are gonna have to do a lot of work!

Could be a sub-adult, 4, maybe 5 years old.The head is the last part that gets it's adult plumage I believe.

That poor nest is just so pathetic

UPDATE: 22 January 2010
We have staff members out checking the situation on the ground and will
post another update when we have more information. From the cameras we can see
that the eagles continue to visit the pole nest with some regularity to feed or perch, but they
have not started refurbishing the nest yet.

Web site update:

1 February: The eagles have been actively working on the new tree nest about a mile from
the tower. But they are also spending time at the tower nest. Only time will tell what their plans are for nesting this year. We do have cameras installed at the tree nest and are working on the rest of the needed infrastructure to stream that video if the birds decide to use that nest.

I believe this wins the award for the saddest looking nest...If I were them, I'd keep working on the new tree nest...

I'm with you, skygirlblue, that nest is very sad. Surely they don't plan to use it this year.

An interesting view

SusanE · **Posted:** Fri Feb 05, 2010 4:47 pm

I have a feeling they are not going to be using this nest
