Reflections on the lake are beautiful as night is falling. I love this scene - saw two adults at Sooner earlier today.

The last few weeks we have only seen one eagle at a time at the pole nest and when they are there its usually to consume a meal. I read somewhere that Sutton believes this pair to be using another nest for the 2nd year in a row. Maybe once the E's fledge we will catch a glimpse of them in the family tree.

Dusting off this thread.. Sutton found the Sooner pair in their alternate nest and got the camera going. 3 eggs in this nest.

The Sutton Research Center located the Sooner Lake pair using an alternate nest referred to as the "Dead Tree Nest". This nest had a camera on it from previous seasons and Sutton re-established the feed and solar panels and put the camera online today. The female is incubating 3 eggs. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H3lk5vYUN_0 |

Statement from Sutton regarding this nest...
9 March 2012 (Sooner Lake): Viewers watching this afternoon may have seen the moment when the new Sooner Lake nest camera (on the lower right, above) came on. This is something we have been working on for some time, and we had a number of technical difficulties to overcome, along with our eagle cam partners identified above and below. We are fortunate to have this view, as we will relate below.
The Sooner Lake eagles once again chose to nest at a site other than the pole shown as the lower left image above. The site they chose to use this year is the same one they used two years ago, in which chicks fell out of the very small and poorly constructed nest. Since then the adults have made substantial additions to this nest, so while still not large by eagle nest standards it is in much better condition than it was two years ago. Because we had left the cameras in place after the disastrous 2010 season, and they very fortunately still worked upon testing them, we were able bring this video feed back online with a lot of effort but with minimal disturbance at the nest site.
The lower two camera views might now be a bit confusing to viewers because the wide cam view on the left is of the tower, while the close-up view of the nest is an alternate nest site for this pair in a dead tree some distance away. We decided to retain the wide view of the tower because the adults still occasionally perch within viewing range of this camera, and conditions at the currently used nest prevent a good wide cam view.
This Sooner Lake nest is typically one of the latest in the state to get eggs, and this year is no exception. We do not know the exact date of the start of incubation for this nest in 2012, but the first of the three eggs could hatch any time between now and about two weeks from now.
