Love that last pic.. ;D

Thank you Lisa!!
Our Superman is gone. No one including Dr Sharpe knows where he has gone or if he is alright. The last time Dr Sharpe has seen him was just before Thanksgiving.
Hoping he will return! Very sad :(
My last pic is the last one I have of SM.

MpMom, I know there is a new man in town, but when does this nest normally lay eggs?
-
Should be laying now. Not sure if it will work here being he is so young. We'll see ;)

Would Akecheta have moved onto the egg if Thunder's departure hadn't startled him? He only needed a couple more steps. This is the closest he's gotten.
[attachment deleted by admin]
-
I don't know Sparky. He was alone yesterday morning but just kept looking at the egg. He is very young & I do hope he catches on.
Thank you for the pic :-*
-
MpMom....how did I miss this..you mean what's his name and Thunder had an egg! WOOHOO!

It does happen Lori, I too have seen it before. Sad :(
[attachment deleted by admin]

It looks as though it has taken time for 61 to kick into gear. He has been working on the nest rails for over an hr. He may be ready if mom can lay another egg. We have to remember he is only 4, born in 2016. Very early for him.

A ray of hope in a challenging world: after losing many of her eggs to the elements, our West End bald eagle mom has laid another. Just in time for the first day of spring.

This is just sad. I guess I am glad I am to busy to watch the nests :( :( :(
A raven took the WE egg and for a reason unknown an egg at TH turns out to have broken......
-
MpMom, I'm so sorry! I saw someone say it earlier on Explore and I knew you would be sad. :(
-
If 61 won't egglet sit this egg will be gone too. Thunder can't sit every day & night.

[attachment deleted by admin]

I'm afraid he may just be too young. Poor Thunder.
-
Unbelievably, Thunder has lost another egg to a raven. Argh!
-
Yep, that is what I said, no matter how many eggs Thunder lays he is to young to help. Sad for Thunder.
-
Such tragedy for this nest. It's truly heartbreaking.
Is this the same nest? TX posted this video in chat and it's spectacular!

Hopefully, he will do better this year! :D

West End Thunder Lays Egg#1Egg Reveal & ZoomExplore.org 2021-02-02
Egg#1 enters the world at ~15:54 after a quick labor.
Congratulations, Thunder and Akecheta! Our talons are crossed for your new egg!
https://youtu.be/7qGmNVe3VXY via cali condor
The West End Nest is located on Santa Catalina Island, Ca
A-61 Akecheta took over the territory in the fall of 2019 at the age of 4 1/2, replacing a 19 y.o. resident male K-01 Superman, who has been breeding at the West End since 2006
K-91 Thunder took over the territory in the fall of 2013 at the age of 4 1/2, replacing a 27 y.o. resident female Wray, who has been breeding at the West End since 1991.
Thunder laid two clutches in 2020. Being young and inexperienced, Akecheta did not incubate consistently, and both clutches were lost to ravens.

Lori, yeah last year little man wasn't old enough to help mom & all of the egglets were taken by the Ravens :( This year he seems to be doing good with the exception of the day the ravens came-he should have helped mom keep them away.

Familiar nests in this video released today!
From Nest To Fledge | Eagle Chicks https://youtu.be/KP9QPCM4oggvia Explore Live Nature Cams
Mar 19, 2021
Once an eaglet hatches their parents work hard to feed it. An eaglet's diet consists mainly of fish and waterfowl. Chicks grow fast, gaining a pound every week until they fledge. At two weeks, they can hold their heads up for feeding. At six weeks, they can tear at whole food. Before they leave the nest, they grow black flight and body feathers. These replace their fuzzy down, which was good for warmth but not for flying. Time in the nest helps them gain the size and coordination necessary to survive as free-flying birds.

Catalina Island and its main city Avalon are wonderful places to visit and offer up an environment and atmosphere markedly different from that of the mainland that sits just a short, hour-long ferry ride away. So too the piers on Catalina, which offer up a plethora of different species of fish many of which are rarely encountered on the mainland piers. Herein, a sampling of species from the Catalina piers, primarily from the Cabrillo Mole and Green Pleasure Pier, both in Avalon, and the Isthmus Pier at Two Harbors.
Garibaldi
Garibaldi — Species: Hypsypops rubicundus (Girard, 1854); from the Greek word hypsypops (high area below the eye) and the Latin word rubicunda (red). Alternate Names: Golden perch, ocean sunfish and ocean goldfish. In Mexico called jaqueta garibaldi. As for the name garibaldi, it apparently was a name bestowed upon the fish by California’s Italian commercial fishermen in the 1800s. Giuseppe Garibaldi was one of the main leaders in the unification movement to create an Italian nation and his followers were known as the “Redshirts” for the bright red shirts they wore. He was considered a hero to Italians throughout the world and apparently the fish, at least to some, were reminiscent of those red shirts. Identification: Garibaldi are easily distinguished by the brilliant golden-orange coloring on the whole body and are considered by many the prettiest fish in our coastal waters. They are perch-shaped but very deep-bodied with large fins. The young (up to about 6 inches in length) are reddish orange with bright blue spots.
Garibaldi — a young fish with blue spots
Size: To 14 inches (some books say 15 inches) but most pier-caught fish are under a foot in length. Range: Bahia Magdalena, southern Baja California to Monterey Bay. Uncommon north of Santa Barbara and rare north of Point Conception. Habitat: Generally found in shallow-water, rocky-shore areas although they have been encountered down to a depth of almost 100 feet. Fitch and Lavenberg, Tidepool and Nearshore Fishes of California, report that “A wide variety of food items has been found in garibaldi stomachs, including sponges, sea anemones, bryozoans, algae, worms, crustaceans, clams and mussels, snail eggs, and their own eggs.” No wonder it is sometimes hard to keep them off a hook even though they’re illegal to keep.

This information on Institute for Wildlife Studies FB page; mentions West End cam:
"Wow, you guys are good! Many of you guessed it, we're placing a new live-streaming camera at the new Fraser Point nest! You wished it, and with the help of your donations we're working hard to make it happen. Also, over the next several weeks Dr. Sharpe and I (Amber) will be working on gathering field camera data on our bald eagles from the 2023 season, moving the West End overlook camera, and conducting general maintenance on our other live-streaming cameras. So, stay tuned! We may have some interesting data from the field cameras and/or you may get a peek of Dr. Sharpe!"

This popped up on my X feed. I don't know what's going on,
but I thought you might find it interesting. :)

The ongoing drama of the West End nest.

I don't know what is going on. Is that Thunder with her little man? Hmmm :-\

:(Makaio is the new guy. He's wasting no time mating with Thunder each day. Ake was injured two weeks ago right before the cams went down so no one really knows what happened to him. All we can say is, he got into a fight with another eagle. He was injured but is no longer seen under the brush where he was last spotted. Makaio is not that eagle as that eagle involved in the battle had no bands. Makaio on the other hand has two bands and is from Bald Canyon and was the second eaglet banded by Dr. Sharpe there (it's 46 miles away from this island). His brother is actually named Sharpe after Dr. Sharpe which is a cool fact. He's only 3 turning 4 this year but is a big boy. :(

EGG GONE
Tuesday, February 18, 2025 6:56 PM
the egg in West End is no more. While Thunder and Makaio were chasing off other harassing ravens, a raven took the egg from the nest. An opinion offered is that Makaio, being so young and inexperienced, didn't realize he needed to physically attend to the nest when Mom is off it. Apparently there were other "learning experiences" with Thunder's last mate, too.
* Explore note
-
Yep Shep :( Thanks!
2025 Nest Events:
2/17: First egg laid around 14:57.
2/18: Raven stole egg at 13:57.💔
-
Early this am Thunder gave us another egglet.
-
;)
-
Well things have changed again :( Thunder is gone & I guess the new boy has a new young girlfriend :(
From chat Bruinut: Thunder flew out of camera range and hasn’t been seen since 2/28
-
I'm sorry MpMom, I just read about Thunder on explorer. Maybe she is joining her former mate.
I'm so lost in events here... I'm sorry. :'(
-
Hi Lani! From everything I have heard it sounds like her mate was in a fight & looked like he didn't make it. Very sad! I loved Thunder.
