FP ~ Exciting News!! Saucy 19/A Class Of 2018 Seen Today At Fraser Point Nest! 1.29.20


~~ It was a very exciting day to see one of our alumni Saucy 19/A at the Fraser Point CA nest! She landed on a branch close to the nest and preened and gave us a view of her leg bands which confirmed her identity. Fraser Point is 4 miles away from Sauces Canyon. I included some stills of Saucy when she was on the Sauces Canyon nest from 2018 in my video.

Saucy 19/A (F) was banded on May 1st, 2018

A-66's Surprise Visit to Fraser Point ~ Explore.org ~ 1/26/21
Janntonne
A-66, a Baby's Harbor male from the Class of 2016, flies onto the old Fraser Point nest, former nest of A-49/Cruz and A-64/Spirit. He tinkers around with the fluff and branches, looking mighty comfortable. He then hops to a branch on the left, where he surveys the area for several minutes. He looks might comfortable there too. Maybe he's looking for a nest for himself and a lady? I wonder what Cruz and/or Spirit would think of that?

Fraser - Jann said this is Jim, from Baby’s Harbor Nest. He is the same age as Akecheta. Beautiful!
Thank you Jann!

It looks like we might get a new eagle pair moving into the nest abandoned by the Fraser Point Nest. Male A-66 (aka Jim) hatched at the Baby's Harbor nest on Santa Cruz in 2016, and Female A-98 (aka Glory) hatched at the original Fraser Point nest in 2014.

NEW EAGLE PAIR at FRASER POINT
Jim has been visiting this abandoned nest for a few days. Today a female, A98, joins him. There are two females with the number A98, so which one is it? A zoom in on the leg band finally reveals that it is Glory, an eagle from the Class of 2014, daughter of Spirit and Cruz, the former residents of this nest. Jim and Glory work & play on the nest for over an hour, even bringing a new branch to the nest, looking very comfortable together. Will they adopt this abandoned nest and make it their home? Time will tell, but it looks promising. Here's an edited video of the visit, including the zoom in on the leg band.
