This is from FB


UPDATE FROM DUKE FARMS: The Duke Farms Eagle Cam is still undergoing maintenance, the cabling for the camera still needs some tweaking before it can transmit video and power. Stay tuned. For now, the adults have been rebuilding the nest and are roosting in the area.

JUST READ THIS ON THE DF WEBSITE - SOUNDS LIKE WE COULD HAVE A WAIT!Update: For those of you anxiously awaiting the 2012 Eagle Cam season, we regret to report that we are experiencing technical problems with our video system due to damage sustained during Hurricane Irene. Our staff and consultants have been working to address these issues, but at this time, we do not have a timeline for when the system will be up and running.

The eagles are in the area and have been tending the nest. We hope to restore video coverage in the coming weeks, please check back for updates.
NOT SOUNDING GOOD AT ALL

At least it's good to hear that the eagles have been sighted in the area and at the nest. (But it would be nice to see them ourselves.)

Facebook update :gaah:

Kathy Callori

Bad news .. I got this email this morning from the webmaster at Duke farms. No eagle cam this year:Both our staff and consultants have been working to address the problem, but the latest news reported just yesterday is not good. So as not to disturb the eagles, we are unable to enter the area near the nest which is where the camera is located (for their well-being, active nesting areas of Bald Eagles are protected by the State of New Jersey) – that, and the complexity of the repairs needed, means that we most likely will not be able to provide live stream video this season.

From the Duke Farms Website:

    The Bald Eagle nest at Duke Farms suffered considerable damage after battling sustained 90-mile-per-hour winds during Hurricane Sandy. The damage was discovered by Duke Farms staff members during ongoing damage assessment after the storm passed.

    Staff approached the 80-foot-tall nesting tree and found the large sycamore split in half and the crown (the branches and leaves) resting on the forest floor. Twigs and other remnants of the next were also found in the area.

    Large amounts of eagle droppings where found on the ground near the nesting tree and a pair of eagles was sighted in the vicinity, signs that the nest’s inhabitants survived the storm and are still foraging in the vicinity.

    The timing of the storm is promising as it occurred prior to the nesting season, providing ample time for the pair of eagles to rebuild a nest. The State of New Jersey Fish and Wildlife and Duke Farms are eager to see if the pair will reconstruct their nest in the same location.

    “An eagle pair that has a long record of successful nesting in one site, like the Duke Farms pair, is likely to rebuild a nest in close proximity to the old nest tree,” said Larissa Smith, a Bald Eagle biologist from Conserve Wildlife Foundation of New Jersey. “However, they can also rebuild off-site, in another location within their territory, about one mile around their old nest location.”

    In 2008, Duke Farms installed a webcam on a tree adjacent to the nest to provide a live look at the daily lives of the eagles. In partnership with The Conserve Wildlife Foundation of New Jersey, lesson plans were created to facilitate place based educational opportunities for students. Between the general public and classrooms up and down the east coast, the Duke Farms Eagle Cam had many fans – over 4 million viewers. The webcam and its host tree remained unscathed from the storm and Duke Farms will be using the camera to see if they can identify if the eagles rebuild their nest in the surrounding area.

    “Most of the time, eagles will take weeks to build a nest from scratch,” said Smith. “But, we have seen pairs build a good-sized nest in a matter of days, once they set their minds to it.”

    Luckily, it appears that the Duke Farms eagle nest was the only casualty of Hurricane Sandy’s wrath. Conserve Wildlife of NJ stated that none other of the known 100 nests were adversely affected by the storm.

Well, apparently, the eagle pair are nesting near by...cam is now live, but experiencing technical problems. . from the webpage:

    The "new" eagle camera system is fully operational, though with several major changes due to Hurricane Sandy:

    During Hurricane Sandy, 70+ mph winds tore off the upper half of the nest tree, destroying the nest completely (the camera and camera tree where spared). Luckily, the bald eagle pair built a new nest 100ft south of the current eagle camera's position in late December in another American Sycamore tree. Ground and camera observation have confirmed eagles sitting on the nest


    The view you see right now is at the max zoom limit of the camera and many branches (and likely leaves later on) are in the way of the image
    We cannot move the camera at this time since the eagles are nesting and cannot be disturbed until after the young eagles have fledged. We anticipate moving the camera to a closer, less obstructed tree after the eaglets fledge.

Talk about total luck!!

    A. That eagles are at the nest
    B. The wind isn't blowing so hard that we get seasick watching..

The cam is smoother than my vid....I think I had too much stuff open and it interfered with the recording...Oh, and she's gone now. At first I thought, OMG..they have an egg...but, nope...
