The
following comments have been compiled by the homeowners where the eagles
are nesting. Many thanks to Garry and Loraine! eglldy@qwest.net
February 2009 Star and Spirit have returned! And yes, we’re back for the 10th Kent EagleCam season! Thank you everyone for the collaborated effort, without it this view would not be possible. An enormous warm thank-you to all the viewers, any supporters and contributors as well - your donations and well wishes are immeasurable! We look forward to your kind words, letters, emails and appreciate all of it. The nest, at this point is a meager, scant bunch of sticks compared to previous years but as you can see in these photos, the birds have returned to rebuild their 'home' in this huge cottonwood tree once again. These particular photos have been taken from inside. They are from the camera monitors that actually sit on a table in our kitchen. Until we get the connections “tweaked” and equipment set up completely this is all we have visually at this point. We've experienced so many difficulties over the past several months and year (not only with the nest disintegration) but with the equipment too and send our thanks to all involved in getting the new gear installed and server issues resolved - we're moving on as enthusiastically as humanly and financially possible. And more great news, exciting new additions! Once all the proper connections are complete we will have audio along with infrared nighttime viewing as well. How will the season unfold? Will we have a complete nest this year? Will there be eggs? Will there be babies? These are all great questions and we’re asking them too. The major factor is we know the birds are enthusiastic about getting their nest rebuilt; we just have to be patient once again. We just don't know and just as every year, we wait and see how things evolve and watch for the amazing progress to unfold. As heart wrenching, as this can be at times, that’s the thrill, excitement, and adventure these cam views and this pair of wild bald eagles produce. We just never know and again, only time will tell… This will be a brand new adventure for us. As with all of you, we were never able to watch the beginnings of nest construction occur but this year we’ll all have that opportunity so stay tuned -- continue to watch with us…
EagleCam Season 2009 has begun! Beautiful blessings to everyone and again, thank you for your continued support! Sincerely, |
