Bird Cams Around the World

Jim, I am so sorry for your loss. Thank you for your words and photographs. The photographs that you have shared with us are so beautiful and document her life. They express what has been lost.

George, what an experience with the peregrine eggs. Thank you for being there.

Jim, thank you for being there for all of us. I'm sure it was nice and comforting seeing Dad. Beautiful shots!

George, thanks for posting that very interesting article. Its the best thing I've read all day on what's happened.

Jim, thank-you for going there today. I am glad you saw Dad . take care of him for us.

Jim, thank you so much for the beautiful photos you posted, especially the outstanding photo of beautiful Mom. She was so regal and majestic, so much loved, and she is missed by so many people. She will always be remembered.

It is still so hard to believe that this has happened. I wish the eaglets could have stayed with Dad, but I understand the reasoning behind moving them. I hope they will thrive in their new situation. I feel so bad for Dad, who has now lost his whole family.

Here's Dad, shortly after 6 PM, right before he picked up the fish and left the nest.



I was glad he took the fish

I am glad he took the fish too! Perhaps that is a sign for us that he has moved on....

I love those . Get me a pair!!!

I would love a pair of those also.

thank-you SGB for finding a silver lining somehow.

I am going to try again to put something into words.

I remember a few years ago when they rescued Buddy. We felt bad but we were all relieved.

Buddy is well cared for and bestills my heart

WE will follow these 3 eaglets with love because they are a part of Mom Norfolk. It is bittersweet, but maybe one of them will turn up some day at a site that is monitored. that would be so wonderful.

tomorrow is a new day , a new chapter, and a time of fond memories.

I'm in tears again ..... Jim ... thank you so much for your post. I know all our beloved eagle paparazzi are feeling this loss tremendously. I need to get a copy of Duane's book ... never did get around to that. And I put my name in for the 2012 calendar. And as soon as I can I'm sending a donation to WCV.

Mom's loss is hard enough to take ... but watching poor Dad, wondering where his family went. I just can't stand it. And I know it's just 'us' that think this way. Dad will be fine ... and move on ... he'll have a nice lazy summer eating fish and perching in the sunshine. And then hopefully, come fall, he'll find a pretty new female to keep him company.

This is my 5th year with this pair ... it's just so heartbreaking. The price we pay to watch.

I do want to comment though on Ed's remark .....
bev, WE know the realities of it all ... but remember ... Norfolk has a LOT of people watching that don't know. They don't understand, they don't know how it all works ... classrooms of children ... young children... with teachers trying to explain it all to them. I've seen some of the comments some of the more ignorant people have made and I believe he needed to make that statement. I understand their reasoning for making the decision they did ... I may not like it ... but in reality I think it does give the chicks the best chance.

Barb ... I wish I did what you do. Hugs.

Watching Dad was difficult, and now I see the cam is turned off...

I am thankful for everyone's comments to help me see all points of view. How I wish the eaglets could have remained in the nest, but after reading about all the components that made up the difficult decision to remove them, I have to be supportive. I am thankful that time has been taken to inform all of us every step of the way.

I am especially thankful for our friends on the ground as you have provided valuable insights to the amazing birds at Norfolk. Please continue to share your experiences with us. I look forward to it.

PattiO and others

I did go and remove my post from yesterday.(not thinking as clearly as normal)

Bad day yesterday, and I just want to move on with fond memories and Hope for a new tomorrow.

I just want good memories and I know I will have them.

this is not about me it is about the legacy of a once in a lifetime female. Ma Norfolk.

I also put in my order for the new calendar. I went through my past calendars and my pictures and wow!! What beauty, what majesty.
Let us remember, we still have Dad to embrace and watch and hope for.

Just went and checked out today's updates at the Wildlife Center to see how the eaglets are doing. They ate fish at breakfast and then again at lunch. Good news. Can you believe these people collected branches, yes, real big branches, and built a beautiful natural nest for the eaglets? Even with pine all around the edges and dried pine needles and straw in the bowl! I am so impressed with their efforts. They already have a webcam taking pictures inside the enclosure, and have run wires so it is live. For today, it will be like a closed circuit cam until they can figure out the logistics for greater bandwidth.(hope I got that right). They will take screen captures for us until then. Earlier today one of the mods at NBG chat said they were told Dad was seen flying in the gardens. Did not get anymore news yet, have to check sites for info. Mom will be forever missed, hoping to hear Dad is adjusting, and am so relieved to be able to see pictures and updates on the eaglets, the lump in my throat and pain in my heart are easing. I only hope others here, and those at the garden will soon feel the same relief.
