A Couple Announcements:
The chicks will be released in the yard tomorrow, 2-March. They should be here around noon, then stay in their cage for an hour or 2 to acclimate. They will be released at around 1:30pm or so PST. I will be streaming the whole time at http://phoebeallens.com/.

Also, a new female has moved into the yard. Her name is Phoebe Renata Allens. [Must be related and her middle name just happens to mean reborn]
She has been exploring nest locations in the rosebush and will hopefully get building soon. She seems very interested in an old nest I mounted in the bush, but is also looking at the previous site among other locations.

Darrin thinks the male with the intruder is Larry here is a copy of his report from today

I know many of you are asking for an update. Here is what I know today. I drove around for miles and miles this morning, looking for Lucy. No luck. It doesn't mean she isn't there, just not that I could see. I did not see much on camera before I left this morning. Then when I stopped and got online, I got a message from someone asking if it is possible that Larry is here. I have been doing some digging into the archives. It is my belief as it is many others that Larry indeed is here, and seemingly has accepted this other female. I would rather not go back to the events of the other night. That is over. I do not know about "the other male" nor do I really care. I did see another eagle perched not far from the nest in a clear cut this morning while one of the eagles was on the nest. I only know that because I made a call to verify if any eagle was there. I could not ID that eagle, and do not think it was Lucy. When my search was finished and about ready to leave the valley, two eagles came down from a sharp dive and into the nest around 10:30. Little did I know from a distance that Larry was there.

Many are going to ask why or how Larry could do this to Lucy. Eagles are driven to do one thing: reproduce. I do not have a solid answer that will make people happy. Maybe Larry sensed that Lucy was infertile and chose to go another direction. I cannot rule out a fight between females either. I cannot say she is alive, however that is what I believe. She is one smart eagle and more than likely she knew her place now, and could not fight to save her nest. As cam viewers we watch and become emotionally connected, especially in the events leading up to the other day. It is important to try and separate our emotions, if we can.

We will continue to observe, and learn. Two eagles were seen mating at the top of a pine tree yesterday. It could have been Larry at that time. I will not get into "naming" of the new eagle at this time. The students know this as well. Let's just see how things go. We all need time to let this all sink in. I hope people read all the updates and watch the videos. It is ok to have differing opinions but in light of the events it won't do any good to debate. Let's let nature take care of this and continue to observe, be amazed and know how lucky we are to have a window into a wild eagle nest.

Eagle on!

Neticami, ka tik maziem putniņiem ir tik atšķirīgas "sejas" Lai veicas Jaunajai Fēbei

[Vērotāja]

lianaliesma, vai ir zināma šī pāra vēsture? Tas cilvēks raksta, ka tēviņš iespējams jūt mātītes neauglību, vai viņa ir tik veca? Lai gan, nez vai savvaļas dzīvnieki dzīvo ilgāk par fertilo vecumu, pensiju dzīvnieki var baudīt zoodārzos, bet savvaļā izdzīvošana bez "hormonu stimula" laikam ir ļoti reta. Paskat, pat ļoti cienījamā vecuma Emoyeni rada bērnus. Mani ļoti samulsināja versija par neauglību.

[Lianaliesma]

Vērotāj, neesmu papētījusi šo ērgļu pāri. bet sakarā ar ērgļiem kaut kur lasīju, ka - tie nemaina pāri visu mūžu, ja vien - otrs aiziet bojā vai arī ja jūt, ka nav bērnu - tad var notikt, ka pāris izšķiras un veido jaunu pāri. Iespējams, ka šāds secinājums nācis pēc ērgļu ligzdu pētījumiem. Var pajautāt Berry ērgļu lapā ...

[Vērotāja]

Nez kā viņi to neauglību jūt? Ar kādām maņām? Viņi taču nav tik tiešā un ilgā kontaktā viens ar otru.
Vai pie Hankokas ērgļu specialistiem kaut kas līdzīgs ir lasīts?

Berry Eagle FAQs - interesanti fakti par Berry college ērgļiem
http://www.ustream.tv/channel/berry-eagle-cam

Meklēju kaut ko par ērgļu pāru "šķiršanos"... Te ir tikai apstiprinājums tam, ka ērgļu pāris parasti dzīvo kopā visu mūžu...

Berry College Eagle PairGender: The male eagle is smaller and has a sleek white head. The female eagle is larger with a head of ruffled white feathers. We will not be able to determine the sex of the eaglet until it is an adult.

Injury: The female eagle returned to the nest last fall with an injured left leg/foot. We do not know how it happened, but she seems to fare quite well.
(Mātītes kāja savainota pagājušo rudeni, be nav zināms, kas noticis, tagad mātīte ar savainojumu tiek galā labi.- lianaliesma)

Night light: Berry is pleased to provide live video feeds of the bald eagle nesting area. The nest camera uses an infrared light at night that is not visible to the eagles. It may look like you are seeing a light, but you are not. The tree looks completely dark at night.

Camera/Tech support: For more info about the type of camera and technical issues click on “nest cam information” beneath the live feed on the berry.edu/eaglecam page.

Sound: We hope to add sound to the camera once the eagles have ended the 2014 nesting season.

Names: Berry has chosen not to name the eagles because they are wild creatures and we do not want to personalize them. This year’s eaglet is B3 (Berry and the third eaglet we know of.) Last year’s chicks were B1 and B2.
(Hankokas forumā viņus sauc Marta un Henrijs - lianaliesma)

Egg stats: The first egg was laid Jan. 14, the second was laid Jan. 17. The incubation period is 33-37 days. One egg hatched on Feb. 22 producing our eaglet, B3. But the other egg is not viable and is still in the nest.

Location: The nest is located 100 feet up in a large pine tree next to a large parking lot at the college’s Steven J. Cage Athletic and Recreation Center, home to sporting events, concerts and other activities. Apparently our eagles like to be part of the action!

Stadium: Before the eagles arrived, Berry College officials had planned to build a stadium in the area. Once the eagles arrived, the original stadium site was moved to the south. Berry obtained a permit from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service for the new location and agreed to restrictions on construction that ensures the eagles are not disturbed during nesting season. Their location will be carefully buffered by new and existing trees as designated by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.

Diet: Our eagles enjoy eating fish, coot (waterfowl) and squirrel. The nest is conveniently located near the Oostanala River and Garden Lakes in Rome, Ga.

Parent duties: When one parent is not visible, it is hunting and perching in nearby trees to watch for intruders.

Two nests: A second bald eagle nest was discovered Feb. 17 in a remote gate restricted section of the campus that has no roads or power. We do not know if there are eggs, and because of inaccessibility, we will not install a nest cam. The remote location is a gated, restricted area.

Owl attack: The mother eagle was attacked Feb. 18 by a Great Horned Owl, but did not appear to be injured. The video was shown nationwide as she defended her unhatched eggs. Berry is home to many Great Horned Owls.

Temperature: Bald eagles survive in much colder places than Georgia such as Alaska. Our national bird is tough!
Help: If an eaglet falls out of the nest or any of the eagles become injured, college officials are required to contact authorities regarding the federal rules for handling bald eagles. No personnel are permitted in the restricted area during nesting season.

In September 2013, our bald eagle couple returned to the Berry College campus and to their nest in a tall pine tree situated between the main entrance and the parking lot of the Steven J. Cage Athletic and Recreation Center.

The couple spent several months repairing and adding to the nest and catching fish and coots in the nearby Berry quarry, Oostanaula River and Garden Lakes. An egg was produced on January 14, 2014, followed by a second egg on January 17. An eaglet chick hatched on Saturday, February 22, from one of the two eggs laid in January. Feeds for live streaming cameras are featured on this page. This is the only live, streaming video camera of a bald eagle nest in Georgia.

Berry College’s original bald eagle parents began making the nest in March 2012, an unusual time for nest-building in the life-cycle of eagles.

Eagles have been reported in the vicinity of the campus for the past two to three years, but this is the first documented nest in the modern history of Floyd County. The eagles were seen carrying sticks to build their nest, but to the disappointment of many, they had nested too late to produce offspring. By April they were gone.

In October 2012, the eagles returned to the nest, and two eggs were laid in December. Both eggs hatched by January 2013, and both eaglets fledged (flew) during the last week of April. Eaglet 1 flew on April 22 and Eaglet 2 flew on April 28.

During the 2013 season, there were documented sightings on campus of the original pair, their two eaglets and at least four juvenile eagles.

Please check the Berry College Eagles Facebook page for regular updates this year. Bald eagles mate for life, and we are hopeful that we will enjoy their presence at Berry for many years to come.

Good Afternoon everyone..............thank you all for your coverage of this nest..........

THis is just my opinion but i feel the need to express it......... Do we know for sure that this male in the nest is Larry? I find it very strange that if this is Larry that he has taken so quickly to the IF... I don't think Larry would have given up on Lucy that fast.......my goodness just watching them in the nest...how Larry doubted on her and if there is such a thing as eagle hugs he gave her one every night that he saw she was tucked in and safe,...... unless if this is Larry........ he knows that some thing has happened to Lucy and i hope that is not the case............. I saw an IM take over a nest once....... a little different from what is happening here..... there was a chick and and an egg that was about to hatch.............. that being said the chick died and of course the other egg didn't hatch................ my point is... it took the Res.Female a long time before she accepted the IM............. she did and they are a beautiful couple today..... and raised a few chicks.............. the other thing is and i find this hard also.. could it be that If this is the Res. Male ....he is thinking egg laying time and he knows that something happened to Lucy.......... one other thing.... none of us know for sure that Lucy would not have been able to lay a fertile egg this season............... i am watching a nest now where an Eagle with a recent leg/ foot injury laid two eggs and one hatch....... ans they have a beautiful healthy chick..........
I am sorry....... if me expressing myself is upsetting......... hug

Šis speciālists pamatoti atzīmē to, kas arī man ienāca prātā lasot par iespējamo neauglību - citā ASV ligzdā kliba mātīte audzina veselīgu cāli un viņas attiecībās ar tēviņu nav redzamas kādas nenormālības (nesekoju cieši, bet par to var spriest pēc bildēm).
Ja jau būtu tā, ka ērgļi "pa gabalu" redz neauglību, tad pie partnera fiziska defekta šis pārīs būtu izjucis, bet tā nav!

Liekas, ka speciālista versija par to, ka tas ir pilnīgi cits ērgļu pāris ir ļoti pamatota un saprātīga. Tā patiesībā ir vienīgā versija, kurā vairs nepaliek nekādu šaubīgu un maz ticamu apstākļu.

Jo pat tiem putniem, kur mātītes cīnās savā starpā (zivjērgļos to redzējām, arī pie piekūniem), partneru maiņa nenotiek tā vienā dienā, cīņas ir ilgas, ilgu laiku ligzdas tuvumā redzamas abas mātītes. Abas reizes, kad tādas batālijas vērojām kamerās (Igauņu Pireta un Oksana pagājušā sezonā un Nīderlandes VV un 2OR pirms diviem gadiem), abas reizes ligzdošana nenotika, neskatoties uz to, ka jaunās mātītes pamanījās iedēt olas, jo notika ilgas un smagas cīņas.

wave Hi, thanks for scaps and info. I am very sorry for Lucy but hope she will be all right Wub... Would like to ask what could be the reasons for change of the mate- are there some investigations made with special conclusions? I have read somewhere that if a pair has no chicks it could happen... Thank you. Smile

hug Bev, thanks for your thoughts.
I´m not an expert to recognize Larry, but actually it does look like Larry. Chin I trust the "experts" who follow this pair on daily basis.
I don´t know about the fertility of Lucy either, but honesty I´ve been a bit doubtful about Lucy & the eggs... That´s why I haven´t watched this cam so much this year. very embarrassed Has anyone seen Lucy and Larry mating this year?

I want the best for Lucy, I hope she has a "safe place" where to sleep and I hope she has a good and fulfilling life despite of her injury. I´m also aware her life can be shorter because of her injury. I also want the best for Larry and I trust his decisions. He wants to have eggs & offspring. I hope he gets what he wants and deserves too... Red Heart

________________

Thank you for sharing your thoughts, Bev and mia. You make some very good points. And Liana, I am hoping that we'll hear more from Darrin and the other folks involved with Eagles4Kids; I know they have experts who have been following Lucy's progress, and they may have some information to add.

For those who don't "know" me, I've been watching eagle cams almost since the beginning (there were a couple of cams online before David Hancock teamed up with Doug Carrick to bring the Hornby cam to the web in the spring of 2006 - but it was Hornby that caught everyone's attention) - and I started watching cams in April 2006. I enjoy watching the cams - but I also enjoy gathering data - so over the years, rather than focus on a particular nest or two, I've more or less browsed a lot of cams - which means I've gathered a lot of eagle (and osprey) trivia. I am not an expert - I've never studied eagles in school, or worked with them the way David Hancock has - but I've read a lot and and observed a number of nests - and have had the good fortune to learn about forums like this one where many other people post their observations! So that is the background for my thoughts about what we've seen so far.

I think that like many of us, I've felt that Lucy and Larry had a special bond, beyond that of most pairs. When I learned that he had to have been feeding her for weeks while she recovered from the damage to her feet, I was amazed. I know that males will bring food to their mates as part of the annual courtship and re-bonding before they lay eggs, perhaps demonstrating that the male will be able to take care of her and their chicks. And I know that males provide a majority of the food during incubation and the first part of brooding, when the females spend most of their time on the nest. But I'd always heard that the adults didn't necessarily stay together after the chicks had fledged and left the area - though perhaps that's more true in places like BC where most eagles flock to the salmon rivers, than in areas where the eagles stay in or near their territory year round.

So my first thought, when I read about the intruders, was that it would be hard for Larry and Lucy to defend the nest, so perhaps they would leave the territory to the newcomers, and build a new nest somewhere a little more remote. I know osprey can build nests very fast, and I think I have read that experienced eagles can build a nest in a week or so - not as fancy as this one, but adequate for laying eggs. And because I'd seen them together and watched him accommodate her abilities and the challenges that have faced her over the past year and a half - it never occurred to me that he wouldn't go with her if she left. And the romantic human part of me is still a bit miffed about that.

But I am analytical by nature, and have been trying to look at it from that perspective (once I got done calling him a feathered jerk and two-timer!).

Bev, I'm thinking that one thing is different here than in the nest in West Virginia that you mentioned, and that is that it's getting to be time to lay eggs - and that's a very powerful instinct, I think. I'm remembering an osprey nest we watched, where the female returned from migration - and her mate did not. She worked on her nest, and chased off other osprey - but when it was time for her to lay eggs, she laid an infertile egg (eagles and osprey can do that without a mate) - and she bonded with the next male who stopped by (who happily turned out to be a good provider and partner for her). There were a few moments of awkwardness - but nothing like the long courtship we witnessed at the West Virginia nest, before the female accepted the new male. So perhaps the urgency of laying eggs is taking precedence over the "getting to know you" period we've seen at NCTC and Turtle Bay and Sauces Canyon, where the takeover happened after eggs were laid.

The first attempt at a nest takeover that I saw was on the Maine Bald Eagle cam in 2007. The pair had lost their just-hatched chicks to a terrible storm - and that storm had knocked down a number of nests, so there were a lot of nest-less eagles in the area. The biologists associated with that cam said that it appeared that eagles were actually more bonded to their nest than to each other - and said that unless there are eggs or chicks to defend, even eagles who have been partners for a long time won't interfere if a new eagle attacks their mate in an attempt to take over the nest. I found (and still find) that hard to accept as a human - but I can see that the primary goal for eagles is survival of the species and survival of their own genes. In the case of the Maine nest, the intruder was male, and the female stood by while he fought with the resident male. Both males mated with her during the week or so that the battle went on, and while we thought she was more receptive to her mate, she didn't do anything to prevent the intruder from mating when he approached her. Eventually the resident male won - I think the intruder decided there had to be an easier nest to take over, because the male was very fierce in his defense of the nest. But the loss of the chicks and the fight took a toll - the pair didn't nest for several years, and we don't actually know if the eagles using the nest now are one or both of the original pair, or a new pair.

Mia, I have gotten the impression from some of what I've seen and read that Lucy may not have been that willing to mate. I had not been watching the nest, so don't know how comfortable she'd be standing while a male was on her back moving around actively. I'm quite amazed that the pair at our Delta 2 nest seem to be mating several times a day - and have been for a week or two now - even though she is only just beginning to put weight on her injured leg. But her other leg is fine and she's a strong eagle. It's my impression that Lucy frequently sleeps in the nest - which makes me wonder if she has trouble gripping with her good leg. If she does, it might be hard for her to mate. And for better or worse, Larry needs to pass on his genes - it's probably the strongest instinct he has.

The Institute for Wildlife Studies has a long-term program to reintroduce bald eagles to the Channel Islands off the coast of southern California. All their eagles have wing tags, so it's fairly easy to know who is where. It's my impression from their reports that it's very common for young pairs to try to nest, and if it doesn't work, after a year or two, they may end up nesting with someone else. We may be seeing the same thing happen from the other side of the age spectrum - one of the nesting females there is almost 30 years old, and hasn't had chicks for four years, though she lays eggs most years. A new male moved in two years ago - and as there isn't a cam there, just dedicated observers, we really don't know if the new male chased the old one out, or if the previous male decided to leave.

I'm not sure if any of this is useful - I am known for rambling on, and think I've started to do that here. I do know that this is hard to watch - and am hoping very much that we'll get news that Lucy is alive and well, and has found her own little territory.

Darrin wave Thanks for the link to your report; our thoughts and prayers go out to Lucy & Larry and to all the students at Blair we know this situation is very difficult for all of us that love this pair
but certainly it must be even more difficult for those children...so my heart goes out to all of them hug

I wish i could join the majority here that believe the male in the nest is Larry but unfortunately i do not....I think its the male intruder in the nest as these birds behave like a bonded pair...
i realize there may be some feather markers to support it being Larry but feathers change/move and are not generally good identifiers to id birds.

i have seen a few nest take overs in the past 9 seasons and on each occurrence it took months before the new mate was accepted ... So far we have not observed any resistance with this pair
in the nest so it leads me to believe that this pair is established...a bonded pair. I will definitely keep an open mind as i believe we are always learning and the birds are great teachers ...
but right now my experience leads me to believe that this is a bonded pair in the nest. Anyway these are my impressions that i wanted to share ...
i will continue to pray that we have word on Lucy Wub soon as i know that will bring comfort to all of us that love this pair.

Good luck tomorrow and please tell the students we are thinking of them (((hugs)) to everyone here.
