Still at the nest a lot...just maybe

Hey NCTC Fans...Don't count us out just yet

WE've got all of you hoping and praying for us...Our Guardian Eagles for sure, and we've even got spidey showing up at the nest again too

Well and word has it that lots of you have spotted us working there and well ya know eating and stuff like that dessert happenings etc....So keep stopping by, turn on the cam and check for yourself, you just might be very glad that you did.

Our Season appears to have come to a close

The storm of last week has taken its toll on the nest this year. Godspeed to this beautiful pair of eagles and their family. May He bring them both back safely to us next year.

A Difficult day followed by a difficult decision

It is with a sense of deep frustration and sincere regret that I have made the decision this morning to NOT continue updating this BLOG on any regular basis. The lact of technical support and dependability with the still and live cams out of NCTC makes it evident that to try to do so is futile on my part and most likely also equally frustrating for you as a reader. IF and When I see that the cam situation has actually been resolved I will once again feature with their own BLOG the First nest and the eagle pair that still captures my heart. I will include them on the For The Love Of Eagles BLOG on a regular basis provided I can get the photos and maybe even an occasional video of this pair. I will leave you with the picture that speaks a thousand words to me about the struggle and determination to survive that this eagle showed 3 or 4 times yesterday as she strove to get herself through the storm she was facing in that nest...

The pictures start with her almost buried deep in the snow, raising those awesome wings and getting out just long enough to get the snow away and get back to her egg(s) and hatchling(s)...sadly I can't even tell you how many of either eggs or hatchings were in the nest during the storm but it does appear hatching is here, and this very young family has had to deal with horrendous weather on hatching day.


It is my hope and prayer that we will all continue to see this nest flourish through the eagle season. Unfortunately I can not even share an updated photo from today on how they are currently doing as out of the several eagle cams online, many of which experienced or are currently experiencing a storm, it remains the ONLY ONE not viewable, and experience has told me it will stay that way all weekend and then who knows for how long

We Missed pretty much all of the egg laying and we are now missing the hatchings...just not gonna continue on this roller coaster when there are other cams to enjoy while we continue to hope for this situation to change.

Hoping to see you back here, meanwhile enjoy the eagle cams as they are featured on the For the Love of Eagles BLOG.

A Live feed visit with Liberty and Belle

I am going on vacation. I will be back by March 12. Wishing you all great eagle viewing. If you would send me a picture or two a day from the NCTC nest I would absolutley love to see them Thanks Glo

A week of caring for these eggs in the snow, Here Belle carefully turns them

Storm has passed Cam is on and Our Eagles have both checked in

They have obviously dealth with a tremendous amount of snow. I also know from those who live in the area that they were pounded with ice coming sideways during the night. Temps are bitter cold, but there they are and they are Beautiful.

Still hope and should know this week if its gonna be a cam season at NCTC

Although for now I will continue to update this BLOG as there is still hope for this cam Season out of NCTC...I did want to let you all know that there are other cams actively up and running now and 2 of them have sitting eagles. Actually word from NCTC is that Belle is also possibly a sitting eagle. But since the cam continues to present problems for viewing this pair I wanted all of you to know a similar Feed Blitz runs off of the For the love of Eagles

I update this BLOG very regularly as well. All of the active cams I am aware of are linked off of this same site. Go take a look at last nights or even all of last weeks entries. Think about subscribing to that BLOG while you are there AND if you subscribe be sure to confirm your subscription in the email that is immediatley sent to you once you sign up...If you are not getting those Feeds from there it is because you have not completed your subscription to that BLOG...It doesn't make an extra email...Feed Blitz send out ALL subscribed feeds to you in 1 email. Go directly to that site by clicking here...If you love eagles I think you will enjoy this BLOG as well...meanwhile will be hoping praying and watching for cam updates from NCTC as well.

Memories past and hopes and dreams of the future

I am so sorry for all the Cam down time this season has started out with. I know this is frustrating and I wish I knew how to convice those who haven't watched before that this particular pair of eagles is worth waiting for...well they are, and we are all hoping for the part the fixes the cam for good to arrive very soon.
MEANWHILE

A few fun clips from the Season past because I needed an NCTC eagle fix and my guess is lots of you did too.
