The eagle nest is on the west side of the National Conservation Training Center campus, about 100 feet high in a large sycamore tree, and is about 6 feet across and 5 feet deep, and weights several hundred pounds. It is made of branches and large sticks with a softer grass and leaf lining.

From Facebook...

vid by Deb Stecyk


Apparently, Belle has some type of leg injury. From reading the description, there has been an intruder in the area that both have had to contend with.

they are still having intruder problems. they are not sure who they have but an egg was laid late FEB probably not viable now. I do not think anyone is sure what is happening. I am not sure if belle still in picture, keeping their cam up but I have so little time. I have watched this site since 2009 I think. I love belle so we will see

will try and keep up on this

in my video I see male brought in a stick

but here is some action form yesterday march9 . whoever is here is bothered by a brazen juvenile but the adults mated 3 times that I saw yesterday
here is quick video of juvenile trying to land later in day and a later mating

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8IYTGoT ... e=youtu.be

then
one mating

Image
and another
Image

there was one earlier in day

here was juvenile earlier in day(ate leftovers)

Image

here was adult eating earlier in day

Image



so we will see what happens but one egg was laid FEb28 I believe but will not be viable now

well march10
another mating in nest an done lay down in nest and they both just left at 6:33pm I think good sign. and if it is a new pair, ( it will be sad as I love d this pair also ) but better than no one interested , I really am not an authority on this pair and have been looking for spot on males head. no one seems to know.

and if Belle, she has had time to heal.

fingers crossed :girlyes:

I am a sucker for punishment. male has laid in nest bowl today with female there. we will see how this transpires also.
some say it is new pair, some say it is at least Shep and some still hoping for Belle and Shep. I really do not know. when they are not banded , it is a poo shoot , unless there are some markers to look for. I know shep had a dot on his head. I have not been able to get a good look .
when will I have time for falcons :girlcrazy: but these things intrigue me.

wed march14 ( was out most of day but had recorder on )

I always miss early morning but I saw one mating at nest. they were on 5 times that i saw. he is restoring nest and they both work in nest.

no time for pictures from march14. should be able to post a few today at days end.

as I said , do not know if this is shep. if they manned the cams and pommeled in on him, could tell better , bu t I do think this is a new female.
I still think time here for eggs. we will see

I am just so excited. th e female is spending the night tonight. it is dark and she is still there . you can see her silhouette

I made extra work for myself but I decided to monitor this site because it was one of my first eagle sites to watch. this and Maine. (no longer a cam at Maine.) I watched many miracles happen here after fierce snow storms, where the eagles were buried. I watched before shep. I believe Liberty was the males name before. I remember the season he was ousted. they had eggs and dirty spot we called him , would not let him or Belle back to incubate . it was heartbreak times. but we all came to love the male ( an d he was called Shep).
when i saw Belle was injured, I came over to monitor.

now this sis probably new female and I an not sure if Shep.( I would have ot see his head form above) but we have a male an d female and if you read my above posts, you will see things have been progressing. they have been mating , nest building, she ate on nest today.( I have recorder on and run it of f and take notes a some photos for proof. some people need the proof) this has been taking up a lot o f my time but something that appealed to me. I will not be able to continue monitoring at this pace but i have two cams running on my other computer right now , so as not to take away from the falcons.

fingers are crossed.

this is a long report as it is a great day in my book . female has stayed the night

march16

another good day here at the nest. I expect eggs soon. they were here so often. there were two mating's , one at nest and one in far off tree branch. sometimes they came alone and sometimes together. they both lay in bole. female is comfortable to stay at nest alone.

male continues to place sticks,
just before dark, male came in with a wee bit of prey. I think he brought it for Female but she was not there so he ate it.

I can tell most time s who is who, but others , it is hard. mainly because I am not sitting watching. I am recording and then take a look

I will be away fo r most of tomorrow so will not have too much of a report
here are pictures
