New Pond Cam | Maintenance
NEW Pond Cam
The NEW Pond Cam will be installed at a nearby pond where the eaglets learn to fish and the cows cool themselves. Also, the nest tree is in view from this perspective.
We are eagerly awaiting the new season and as you may see once cams are rolling, there are only remnants of the nest in the tree! Summer thunderstorms are notorious in Florida, and this one has been no exception. Wind and rain have blown out what remained after last year. We are, however, anticipating the rebuilding and all the excitement of nesting that follows.
As you may be aware, the “Remote Tree” was also struck by lightning last summer and has died. In our summer maintenance, we discovered that the tree seems very fragile and could possibly go down anytime in a way similar to Snag 2. Again, Florida thunderstorms are beautiful, but the wind can be devastating.
But not to despair! We have an exciting idea and plan!
There is a nearby pond that the eagles frequently visit and once the eaglets have fledged, it becomes a training ground for their fishing skills. This is also where the cows go to drink and cool themselves in the Florida heat.
What we are looking to do is run another cam (and all associated fiber lines – 1000 feet! – and equipment) to the nearby pond to provide a different scenic view and possibly gain a better understanding of the eagles’ feeding routines.
