Hi Pat!
Last year the eggs were laid then mom went missing. Dad tried to care for the eggs but had to get food. Then the ravens came in & took the eggs. Here is some info written under the cam.
A live view of the Sauces Bald Eagle nest on Santa Cruz Island, California.The nest is active from February through July. Please visit the Channel Islands Live! Eagle CAM Discussion Forum for current and past happenings at all of our nests, as well as weekly updates from the biologists in the field. We have multiple cameras, so please click here for all our cams and chat combined.
2013 Breeding Season
February 24; First egg laid
February 27: Second egg laid
March 4: Female stopped coming to the nest
March 7: Ravens took the eggs
March 12: New female, A49, begins visiting nest with A40.

I think this for me is the best cam. Clear and a wonderful background!!
-
;D
-
:o
-
I missed them today OEW. So glad you caught them. I love the last one!!!!!
-
;D
-
Over 3 yrs I have learned to do everything at one time. I really do get so much done in between nests. ;D
-
;)
-
:o
-
I've been watching an intruder soaring around 40 :o
Dobe, it has a blue wingtag. Hear anything who it might be???
-
;)
-
;)
-
;)
-
;)
-
;D
-
MP, The Catalina group seem to think that the juvie intruder is A84 (Marcus) from the PH Net (2012)
I'm so behind checking in on all the nests! I need a screen that can show a 100 nests at the same time! lol
-
Thank you so much Dobe!!!
Boy do I hear you needing a screen that big!!! :D
-
;D
-
;)
-
OEW, love the fly in!!!! The ravens need to go!!!!
-
;)
-

-
Very busy now ;D ;D

MP: is 48 the replacement squeeze that moved in on 27 or has 40 picked up still another one? Do you know?
-
Yes, 48 was the one who moved in on 27.
Emy, has 27 been seen or anything??? I never hear in my own little world.
-
MP: I don't know what became of 27. I get my info from this room, and mostly from you ;)
-
Thank you Emy ;) If we hear anything we will post it!
-
OEW, I'm not sure about the transmitters.
I'll try to find out as I didn't think these 2 were transmitted.

MP: do you know what that thing is in the center picture on the right side under the wing tip? At first glance it looked like a raven, then a closer look made it look like a small bear, but looking at the before and after maybe it is an optical illusion?
-
Hi Emy!
Are you talking inside of the nest? I know the cam has water marks on it and inside the nest there are clumps of grasses.
-
I am referring to the dark blob under the wing in the vincinity of the blue tag on the right hand side of the picture. I see that what ooks like a bear face is actually the wing tip at the right hand side of the blob. Do you see it?
-
Emy, by the arrow??
-
Yes, that is the left side of the blob. What is it? Maybe my small screen distorts it, whatever it is
-
That's what I thought. It is the wing folded up. Hadn't opened it yet.
-
Aw thanks. I see it now. I knew they wouldn't let ravens sit on the nest, but that blob made me wonder. I am getting connector that will let my tv be a monitor, so I should be able to see things a little better. Thank you for taking the time to answer. I feel really dumb.
-
You are welcome!!
Never feel dumb!! And with the water spots on the lens it is so hard to see clear.
You never know what we will see on a nest.
Always a surprise ;)
-
Hi OEW! Great pics! They sure are busy here now ;D
-
;)
-
;D Happy Valentines Day ;D

I was just here this am & I missed having the egglet!!! :o
This is 48's first clutch ;D ;D
-
It is so eggciting OEW ;D ;D
-
I know! I keep checking & still off :(
This is a video Jann made. You can see the egglet.

Great pics OEW!!!
He sure could be teaching 48. 40 is a good dad!!!
Larry taught Lucy their 1st year. How to feed & everything.
-
Hi OEW ;D
-
;)
-
I have a feeling we won't see anything until the kids are teens :D Another egglet should be in a day or 2. Maybe we will never know since the bowl is so deep.
-
:D
-
:o No 2nd egglet that I know of ;)
-
It should be soon OEW ;D
-
OEW, great pics! I swear that bowl is a mile deep :D I wish I knew if there is one or 2 in there. I just love watching these 2.
-
There is no way to see down in that bowl :o
-
;D
-
Great pics OEW!! Yes 40 is banded.
I watched all day. Sure wish we could see but this is probably a good thing.
-
I want to see 8)
-
I AM SICK :'( :'( :'( :'(
http://eagleholic.wordpress.com/2014/02/22/sad-loss-of-the-egg-at-the-iws-sauces-nest/
Took these from the video.
-
:'(
-
I just read on the HWF forum that the egg broke earlier today. The pair return and provided some adult entertainment later in the afternoon. Obviously going to try again. They have pictures.
-
I know what you are saying OEW!! :(
Oh Emy I missed them. I had it on but must have taken the dog out. Where are they gong to put the pics, do you know??
-
They have the pictures posted on their HWF Sauces Canyon 2014 thread. I am still finding my way around forums and stuff. It took me a while to find it and I am not sure I could find it again. I don't know enough about things to move the pictures over from another forum. Don't want to cause trouble. If I find the link again, I will post it.

Try this instead:

Thank you Emy!!!! There are no rules. I use to post at the Delta forum & rrp forum but don't have time this year.
I hope sauces will get their little eaglet ;)
-
Isn't this interesting??? I wonder if anyone has seen dad 40 after mom 48 left the nest yesterday???? I'm going to have to watch more of the videos.
-
Wait, I remember Emy saying they mated again. 40 must be around.
I took these off of the 154:54 5 hr ago video.
I feel bad for mama, I think she would have been a good mom. Hoping they will have another egglet.
-
Emy posted it OEW. Hope they have another egglet.

More visitors OEW :(

OEW, I love how they aren't giving up ;)
-
;D
-
Glad you caught that latest on MP. They sure don't stay long. I get so enthralled watching, I forget to capture what I am seeing. It was a problem for me last year watching peregrines. More than once I had to note the time so they could go back on videos to view events.
These two seem to work very well together. Movements are synchronized and unidirectional when placing sticks and more recently small trees. With that incessant wind I guess high rails and deep bowl are necessary though.
-
Hi Emy!
I caught this before the cam went off. 48 is eating. Cam is back on now.
-
This is one of those "trees" I mentioned being brought in yesterday.
-
I love it Emy!!!!
-
Busy day here again
-
Is this an egglet????
-
I checked MP . It is a fairly large down type feather. I have managed to catch either one of them at the nest the past couple of days, have you?
Make that haven't seen them for two days. I've been caught up in the Blair doings too, but check in from time to time here because I am hoping for an egg soon, if there is going to be one.
-
Oh my gosh thanks Emy! I'm seeing things now :o
I have been away from my nests since last Thurs am.
I've been at Larry & Lucy's nest.
-
I went back through the videos and found the following. There could be more. I am not very good at this stuff. I have some screen captures but they really don't show anything knew. Will post if requested.
2014/3/7 17:59:00
A40 came in with a big bunch of fluffy stuff and began working on the nest bowl. A few minutes later A48 joined him with another big chunk of soft stuff did the same. They worked mostly on the bowl, but did some stick work. Stayed about 15 minutes.
2014/3/9/ 05:55:01 an eagle landed on nest, joined a short time later by another. Seemed to be working in the bowl again. It was still quite dark. Stayed under 10 minutes.
-
Thank you Emy!!!! You are so welcome to post any pics you want!! ;D
Dad is digging his way to China again in the bowl :o
-
;)
-
Caught these visits on the video
2014/03/12 5:48:25 A40 comes in with A48 close behind. A bit of nestorations and video runs out
Later at 10:48:44 A40 brings in a fish. A 48 is close behind again and takes the fish and eats it while 40 tries out the next bowl, makes a few adjustments and leaves at 10:53.xx. 48 hangs around fine tuning his work until she leaves at 11:08:21. I was pretty sure there would be an egg today, but I guess not. She was sitting lower than usual sometimes.
-
Great pics Emy!!!!! ;D
-
;D
-
;)
-
;D
-
They have been spending a lot of time at the nest the past few days, but it has been 30 days since the egg that broke appeared. Is time running out on the chances for a productive nest here again this year?
-
Oh Emy, I was gone a short time & they had an egglet & it was broken right away! Sad for these 2!!!!
http://eagleholic.wordpress.com/2014/03/16/egg-laid-and-then-broken-a-half-hour-later-at-iws-sauces-nest/
-
I had company and missed it all. Just as well. RATS!
FYI. A 40 was back in the saddle so to speak a few minutes ago. The perpetual optimist, he is.
-
They sure haven't had luck :(
-
;)
-
Oh please, please tell me they are getting one more try
-
I don't know Emy :(
-
I know there is no egg. She spent a long time practice incubating yesterday. I started getting my hopes up. She did do it again today but not so long a time. There was some background racket, sometimes A40 sometimes ravens. She did a lot of sqawking on the nest, but I think she was calling for food. She was very hungry today. At one point 40 brought in a fish and she took it from him and gave him a serious mantle. Another time she was munching on dried up feathers, then called out and finally went out and got something to eat herself. That she is so hungry might be a sign, but her time at the nest is waning and they are I know the clock is ticking on a third egg. I really, really wanted them to have a wee one this year after last year's disappointments.
-
It could be the food Emy. I too wanted them to have a little one. It isn't looking good :(
-
;)
-
When I checked in on these 2 last night, A48 had just noticed something that caused her to sound the alarm. A40 was arrived in a flash and together they really told something off. The continued off and on for nearly 45 minutes and then they did some nest work, add a new stick and called it a day.
-
From the video this morning. First, there was someone on the nest very early. Only white head showed, but gone by early light. A visitor just after 7:00, will leave it others to identify, a weird sounding and looking chickadee to me. Some panning of A48 in a tree across from the nest and shortly thereafter, taking a fish away from 40, eating it and leaving. Almost a farewell kind of montage
-
Look Emy :o ??? ??? ??? I guess not ;)
-
;)
-
My opinion, I don't see anything happening this year :(
-
They are both still really working on that nest bowl in the early hours. A40 brought in a big clump of grass at 7:31 and again at 8:35. Nothing else to do, I guess.
-
I was watching them Emy :(
-
;)
-
;)
-
They just keep addding and adding to that nest.
-
This pair continue to bring in sticks, work on the bowl and the males brings some food item to the female daily. A couple of times he has been slow to turn it over, choosing to have a brief discussion first.
-
Yesterday and today there have been fewer visits to the nest and shorter in duration, but he still brings her a fish daily and they still play with the nest bowl daily, albeit half heartedly.
-
Still working on the house. Building the deepest softest nest bowl in the biggest nest in the neighborhood.
-
I read on Channel Islands site that breeding season goes from January to July. Hancock forum indicated a new breeding cycle would begin 30 days after last egg. In the remote possibility of a third attempt at a clutch, the action should be starting now. For nest it isn't, but Dad is still bringing in grass and sticks, and Mom isn't looking so good today. Hope it's mud and not battle wound.
15/04/14
16:01:08 A40 comes in with more grass. Nest activity downgraded from construction to routine maintenance. Leaves after a few minutes.
16:22:22 A48 arrives with messy head. Hopefully muck and not injury. Will watch this to see. Vid ran out before she left the nest so length of stay uncertain. Alarm calling at end of vid.
-
Still there this morning
-
I had no idea Emy! Thanks for the info & pics!!!!
-
A48 is still a mess tonight. Other eye a bit messy too.
-
I sure hope mama is alright ;)
-
I keep checking in and checking videos. They are spending less and less time at the nest so she is harder to catch. Maybe she is just eating something very messy. So far no noticeable behaviour changes when at the nest.
-
40 is just leaving Emy ;)
-
Could not see her yesterday, but in early this am with A40 to chew on the nest bowl. Hard to see in such poor light, but A48 still has that mess on her head and around her eye.
-
A40 still bringing A48 a fish each day, but less and less interested in the nest. Nothing wrong with 48's appetite, and I think the mess on her head is improving, at least a bit.
-
Yesterday A48 was very vocal. She called and called in view and out of view for nearly two hours When A20 came in around 10:00 am she was getting hoarse. If this was about bringing her a fish, he didn't pass the muster. This time he came in empty taloned. Tell me if these are usual Eagle sounds:
http://youtu.be/zZIHKMdyKBc
-
I have not watched this nest much but I thought someone said that she had stepped on both of the eggs she laid? Anyway the vocals sound like she is being passive to the male in an attempt to mate again? Maybe? I am not an expert but have heard these types of calls before from other nest sites. When were the last eggs laid? Do the experts think they will lay more or is it too late this year? too bad if it is.
-
An egg was laid Feb 15 and was no longer in evidence on Feb 22, although no one seems to be sure what became of it.
Another egg was laid on March 16 and broken shortly thereafter by an accidental misstep.
If you are right, this would be a third attempt at a clutch this year.
-
Oh Oh! About the possibility of a new egg. I think the honeymoon is over. April 22, 2014
http://youtu.be/yMfUsPScK_s
-
These two continue to bring in nesting materials. Yesterday they worked for nearly two hours on their castle in the sky, although it wasn't always harmoniously. Maybe they should call in Dr. Phil for a consult.
http://youtu.be/OWC5XK-MgoI
-
New bird in the nest this morning?
No wing patches
-
Hi Emy!! I watched yesterday for quite awhile and no one came. So happy you caught them today!!! This could be interesting if this is a new eagle & not 40!!!!
I will watch now! Thank you. I love this nest!!
-
2nd pic, the tail looks hawkish like.
-
On one of the Channel Islands sites, they said it is A40 coming to the nest. He just lost his bling. It kind of looked like him to me so I did some digging. I sure hope these two have some success this year. This site sure has had enough rotten luck.
-
Morning Emy! I do hope they have a good season!!!
-
;D
-
Maybe the jury is still out on whether this is A40 or not. Today the cam operator zoomed in on a banded leg. MP do you remember if A40 was banded? I will go back over last season pics when I have more time. I don't remember a band, just wing bling.....but can't remember if I even looked for one. Also at 18:37 of October 7 (same video as zoom shot) there was a fly past of another large bird while these two were in the nest. Could be a very interesting season.
-
Thanks E4. That's a pretty clear picture of the band. They must just be trying to confirm the band number. I am busy this morning but this afternoon I will try to capture the fly past. If I get get I will post it.
-
Intruder Fly Past
http://youtu.be/zAKPx0HkiB4
-
Oh my gosh you guys have been busy. The pic isn't clear this morning.
-
Emy, 40 does have a band. Here is one from last yr. I always thought they banded & did wing bling.
-
:o
-
;D
-
;D
-
MPMom please help me. Maybe its these old eyes. I cannot figure out what those arrows are supposed to be showing me. Is it bands? Not clear on my screen. Thanks for the pics. I am too busy to do much watching right now. Nice to see regular activity at nest site. Keeps me hopeful.
-
Hi Emy! Yes just wanted to show you his band. It is hard to see ;)
-
;)
-
;D
-
;)
-
;)
-
OEW, I sure hope for a great season with these 2 ;D
-
;D
-
:D :D
-
At 6:28 a.m. this morning nest time. Early dawn. Not able to see much more than horizon, but heard a series of alarm type calls. Don't know if this is normal or not, but I have seen it more this year than last. I did not watch this early in the season before though, so I have much to learn.
-
I'm thinking it is normal Emy ;D
-
;D
-
;)
-
Good catch of the female MPmom. I am not sure I would have noticed her there. Will watch for her in the future. They seem to be squabbling regularly about stick placement when they are together. Do you think she is trying to make the case for a new nest?
-
I haven't seen an eagle here since Monday, but today there was a visit from our eagle wannabe:
-
Hi Emy!! I hope they stay here!!!
No one home for a couple of days just visitors like you caught Emy ;)
I tried looking up the bird but gave up :D
-
Hi Mp. One of the other forums mentioned regular visits here from a kestrel and a scrub jay ( jay is new to me). This Cornell page has a photo of a female adult kestrel that looks like a likely candidate:
Photo near bottom of page.
http://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/american_kestrel/id
Absence of resident pair this early shouldn't be a problem at the moment, would it?
-
Sorry Mp. Was thinking of yesterday's bird. Missed that long beak on today's. Will check on that one tonight and report back if I find anything out. Must learn to pay attention.
-
This morning's visitor. I think I have narrowed it down to one of these two. The picture below is a capture from this site: http://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/Gila_Woodpecker/id
I watched the bird on video for it's entire 10 minute visit. The lack of barring further up it's back confused me until I saw that the picture was blurred by moisture. I saw the barring all the way up in bits and pieces as it moved. It is there, just obscured. The Gila Woodpecker on the left is most likely, as Channel islands are within it's range. Now I need an expert to mark my work. I think I heard an eagle scree a little later. Sure hope so.
-
Wrong again. I am told it is a flicker. I eliminated that one because I did not see the coloration. I guess it would help to know what species frequent the area. Will keep on trying.
-
Thank you Emy. I suppose it could be a flicker. Seems more brown though. Hmmmm
-
;)
-
Whew. So glad to see them back again. I was really getting worried.
-
It looks very promising Emy ;D
-
;)
-
;D
-
;D
-
;D
-
I sure wish these two would be a little more regular in their visits here. They might not need to follow a schedule for their own needs, but they should be a little more considerate of this worrywart.
-
LOL Emy, I hear you & do agree ;)
-
??? ???
-
Mom: your pic looks like someone dropped a branch on the cam. This shadow below looks like the shadow of a deer to me. I wonder if they are doing some work on this cam. I think they were going to place an IR cam here. This could be a stand. My recollection is vague at best and could be something I read somewhere else. Just throwing that out there because things are a little slow here at the moment. It leaves room for mindless speculation.
-
I hope they have been working on the equipment Emy.
Look what we have tonight ;D
-
;D
-
;D
-
;)
-
;)
-
Just found out the bird on the nest Oct 20th is a Kestrel ;D
-
Here it is today ;D
-
Two birds that are regular visitors to the nest are the kestrel who comes daily and a scrub jay which comes almost as often. This could be him, as the lighting seems off. Nest monitors also reported that flicker that I thought was something else and have seen a shrike here as well. I have only seen the first three and a glimpse of that intruder a while back.
-
Here he is.
-
Love him Emy ;D
-
;)
-
Our little friend ;D
-
;D
-
;)
-
;)
-
Ohhhhh! We don't want ravens here. Shoo!
Where are those eagles anyway?
-
They need to get back here Emy!!!
-
;)
-
;D
-
;)
-
Cam is back up, but loud white noise for sound.
Is this nest ever getting high!
-
This morning's capture. No colour, no sound. Too bad about the sound. I am sure if it was on we would be hearing Catherine calling for Heathcliff.
-
Pretty foggy in your pic Emy! :o
-
;)
-
;)
-
;D
-
;)
-
Thanks mom. I've been busy that past few days and missed their return. At last. These two are driving me bonkers. Mind you that may be less of a drive and more of a short putt.
-
YW Emy! These 2 are sure taking their time. Good to see them today!!!
-
Check out Ustream video Nov. 12 7:03 am and next few minutes thereafter. I don't have time to record and upload. Will try to get it tomorrow. Looks like an intruder and chase.
-
Here is the video of the chase. Not so sure now if there was an intruder. Need an expert eye.
www.youtube.com/watch?v=tpYr75X2fYk
-
What a great video Emy!!! I'll watch it again.
-
Wow, I keep watching it. Looks like the one with the tags is the lady of the nest. Not sure if the other is him or an intruder. Wish it was in slow motion. They go so darned fast.
-
:o
-
;)
-
:o
-
Those darned ravens are getting much too comfortable in that nest. Where the heck are the A's?
Meanwhile, this morning the panning found this guy is still in the neighbourhood. One of so many birds hanging out here.
-
Hi Emy! We need eagles ;D
-
Boy do we ever need eagles here. They don't even have to do much for renos. All they need to do is let us know they are around on a regular basis. Not much to ask. I would text them if I had their number.
-
Well yesterday's nest view (first) and this morning's (second) show some work has gone on here. Now we need to know who did it and when. Will check the videos archive later on and see if I can find it.
-
Not eagles. Those darned ravens vandalizing the nest. Boy are they ever in trouble when the A's come back.
-
Hi Emy!!
Well I found dad perching.
We sure don't want ravens ;)
-
Good catch Mom.
Well at least they are around. I hope they aren't getting any ideas....like new digs or new mates or something.
-
Someone back on a neighboring tree again right now. Seems to be enjoying a shower.
-
I see that Emy. Wonder if he/she didn't stay there all night ???
-
:o >:(
-
:o
-
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=svLTZfHhmC4
This video was posting in the Channel Islands forum. It shows a couple of ravens escorted out by a couple of eagles....hopefully the A's. #Team A!
-
Wow! Thanks Emy! They need to stay at the nest & keep these bad birds away!!
[attachment deleted by admin]
-
:o >:(
-
I haven't had time to watch lately, but when I checked in yesterday I got a nice view of the new carpet growing in the bowl. Fortunately, someone else at Channel Islands caught a visit from A48 a little earlier in the morning. And it's about time.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z0Yz3D2In-A
-
Who the heck is this? Everyone wants to be an eagle!
-
Emy, would you mind if I copy your pics & send them to Karen at Handcock?? I can't tell if it is a heron or an owl, & I know the difference in the 2 :D :D Funny the eagles aren't interested yet. Hmmm
-
Any pic I get is a capture from Ustream or if posted from some other source I will mention from where. As far as I am concerned, it is public domain and no need to ask. Feel free anytime. No quibble ever from me.
-
Thanks Emy. I'll let you know what I find out ;)
This nest is a free for all :D
-
It is a Heron, Emy. Crazy bird is a the wrong house :o :D
-
;)
-
;)
-
;)
-
That was a nice long visit, finally. I went back and watched it in the archives. Lots of nest work too, like they are finally getting serious. Thanks for catching that one. Lots of good pics.
-
Be back in a week Emy ;)
(http://dl9.glitter-graphics.net/pub/710/710069iyhri4eu2z.gif) (http://www.glitter-graphics.com)
-
All the best to you MP, and your precious family. Have a blessed and happy reunion. I will try to keep an eye on things here. I am hoping the A's will settle into routine courtship and nestorations soon. They do wear on my nerves, these two.

Two shorter visits today. (Around 20 minutes) One this morning just after 7 nest time. Both came in and began some serious work on the nest bowl. After a while they began to move around some sticks. A40 started tracking something and left. A48 left a short while after, but came back quickly with a big branch worked a bit and then left.

The afternoon visit was also about 20 minutes. Just after 5 nest time two ravens stood on opposite sides of the nest facing each other and calling out to each other and and to what sounds like many other ravens in the other. After about 5 minutes the A's arrived. First A48 then A40. Not much nest work this time. They seemed to be tracking something and A40 took off shortly after he arrived. The ravens continued yapping. I don't know if its them, or if someone else was around but Mr. and Mrs. A kept watch a lot and looked like they are about to do some street cleaning. This is a good thing, I hope.

Afternoon pics 2of2.... More tracking
-
24/12/14 A48 in at 6:53 this morning and back to work on the nest bowl. A40 joined her after about 10 minutes and they continued to work moving and placing sticks. Visit lasted about 50 minutes. I think this was the only visit today, but I went through the history pretty fast so I may have missed something.
-
Sorry Patis. Here is the address for the cam as I watch it
http://www.ustream.tv/channel/sauces-cam
Also, I can catch up on what I miss on the Channel Islands sight here
http://z7.invisionfree.com/CHIL_EagleCAM/index.php?showforum=5
Yesterday (Dec 25) A40 came in again around 5 pm nest time, followed by A 48. They worked hard on the nest for a while and seemed less worried about what was going on around them. Not looking or tracking as much. A pattern of visits seems to be starting to emerge. 7 am and 5 pm at the moment.
-
Dec 26 am.
A48 in alone at about 6:45am for less than 10 minutes. On edge most of the time, either watching for A40 or bothered by the ravens making a racket off camera. Finally settles into moving some sticks on the rails, but quickly back ti watching and tracking. Leaves after more raven racket. Funny noise just after she left. I think she had a raven in her sights.
-
26/12/14 They were back again for nestorations at 5:00 pm (Nest Time) did not have time to watch but will try to get from archives later today. Will also get today's report at that time. Delighted to see them settling in to a pattern here. Gives me hope. Sure do want to see a successful fledge here this season.
-
27/12/14.
A48 in at 6:52 am with A40 not far behind. Not much happening with regard to nest work. They seem to be distracted by goings on out of camera range. In and out a few times over the course of the half hour visit. A48 brought in 4 sticks, A40 brought in two. But at the end of the visit, the nest is a little disorganized as the A 's spent most of the time watching and tracking. I did not find an evening visit, but the ravens made their regular afternoon appearance.
-
27/12/14 continued
-
Well so much for the regular visits. No eagles this morning, or yesterday after the morning visit. With so many other birds, especially the ravens, in the area, I would think they would be much more protective of the nest than they seem to be. Is it possible the are defending a much larger territory outside of cam view, or is it still too early for them to be worried about such things?
-
28/12/14 no eagles here today. I was getting my hopes up, they are teaching me patience ... Or just messing with me. Hope you are back soon MPMom. Everyone misses you.
-
29/12/14 No eagles here again today, but the raven regulars never miss!
-
A quick ten minute visit this morning highlighted on the Channel Islands sute with this video
http://youtu.be/VKDWCpMbMew
Back to arguing about stick placement. I can't believe that earlier last year I commented on how well they worked together.
I welcome you back MP. Thought I would continue to keep watch here for a bit to give you a chance to get caught up with everything.
-
Hi Emy! Thank you! Thank you also for the great pics & the funny video! I watched this am but must have walked away when they came this morning.
They need to come daily for us :D ;)
Hi Patis! Great to see you here!!!
-
;)
-
;)
-
I would rather see eagles. Those darned ravens are getting much too comfortable here
-
I checked back on last year. The first egg was laid on February 15th. The first egg of the second attempt at a clutch was laid March 16. So there is plenty of time. But it would be a whole lot easier on me if these darned birds would be a little more attentive to this site. It's incredibly inconsiderate of them to treat their cheerleaders this way!
-
Looky Emy!!!!!
-
;D ;D
-
I checked in multiple times today and nothing. This must have been a late afternoon visit. So glad you caught. I was starting to think they had moved on. There have been so many other birds at this nest, I was beginning to think it was a time share They haven't been here since Dec 30th. What kind of territorial defence is that?
NOTE TO THE A'S: Get serious!!
-
They are back again this morning.
-
Good one Emy! I missed them this morning.
-
Caught a quick 4 minute visit by A40 this morning
Now you see him
Now you don't
-
This morning over half an hour at the nest and some rearranging of sticks. If they returned later, I missed them. The ravens made their regular afternoon visit. They are spending more time here than the eagles. Rumor has it they are reading up on Squatter's Rights.
-
Quick early morning visits by A40 yesterday and today. Got this from the Channel Islands forum. Missed them both myself and don't have time to find in archives.
-
Two visits at least yesterday and this video from the IWS people. The stick dance.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2O0A7I7N4jw
-
A40 and A48 in this morning just just after 6:45 for nearly an hour doing some serious stick work and giving the evil eye to those ravens. Back again around 2 but I did not have time to watch so I don't know how long. They seem to finally be getting serious about their nestorations. I hope they don't get distracted again.
-
Hi Emy!!
-
Impressive capture of that wing span Mom.
-
I got so lucky with that capture Emy. I use to have one taking off of the nest as my desk top, I just changed it to this one. I just love it.

Wow, MP, What a picture.

Wow Mom! You are really on a roll. Hope the Raven Friendship Society isn't watching.

The 1st for pics both were whining like crazy & there was no food involved.

Last year after the second egg broke, A40 continued to bring food to A48 in the nest for a very long time. He became more and more reluctant to turn it over but I can't remember a time where she didn't end up eating it. This arguing over prey seems to have become a normal part of their relationship. I am so happy to see how much time they are spending here. Dysfunctional as the bickering seems to be at times, it seems to work for them. Hopefully a successful hatch here this year will alter their tone. Someone at Channel Islands is making a video. I will post a link when I get it.
Great pictures again Mom. Well told story.

The ravens were doing some kind of pre nuptial dance on the nest a couple of days ago. Right out in the open in the daylight. At least the GHO's in Decorah have the class to sneak in at night, showing a little respect for the power of the eagles. Those darned ravens have such an "in your face" attitude.
Nice to see regular nestorations going on here now though. Thanks, MpMOM for continuing with your photo reports. THere is so much going on right now, nest wise and elsewhere it is very hard for me to keep up, and would be impossible without your contributions here and at all the other forum threads.
-
Hi Emy! The Ravens need to go away ;)
-
;)

Judging from the size of that stick it would appear that A40 is preparing to batten down the hatches

That's a big one Emy!!! The only thing is, it needs to be moved so we can see :D

Yes! I just got the email. Laid at 2:11, first view at 2:46. I will get to the archives and see if I can get a capture. It was pouring rain, I sure wasn't expecting anything, and they only got serious such a short time ago. Now A40 has to work at being a little less zealous with food, sticks and romance. He seems to be a bit of a clutz and needs to curb his enthusiasm, so to speak. Here's hopin'.
-
Poor '48
Laying in the rain and egg roll
-
;)
-
:o HMMMMMM
-
I wish that bowl wasn't so deep. I would feel a whole lot better if i could see that egg when she isn't on it. These two need to show a little more consideration for the worry warts in their viewing audience.
-
Oh no, not a Hmmmmmm. Please not a Hmmmmmm.
-
She has been off of it lots!!! This sure isn't normal.
-
The falcons I watch don't settle into full incubation until the second and sometimes the third egg is laid to give the kids a chance to hatch closer together we think. And this nest is California. It takes much longer for an egg to cool off, and of course it needs to harden. Maybe the rain slows it down. If Minnesota eggs can survive the 0 temps, surely this can't be too big an issue here yet. But I would still like to see that egg.
-
I have never seen a parent off that much. I watch WE & have never see this. Praying all goes well!
-
Well she's back on now, hopefully for the night. A40 needs to give her a break. We know he is a good dad. Maybe he needs to relearn a couple of things. Its been a while.
-
A new request from Dr. Sharpe this am. He has asked the monitors to keep reporting in the same way as they always do, but perhaps to include the times the egg is uncovered .... So he might be Hmmmming too. Hmmmmm.
-
More of this today. He has been bringing in sticks and fluff, she has been a bit whiny. There has been a egg roll, but the egg has been uncovered over 40 minutes by my count...unless it is covered with fluff. Can't see. But wouldn't the fluff be wet?
-
Back to work after over an hour. Still haven't seen any food brought in or A40 taking a turn.
-
Emy, waiting for any conformation on a possible broken egg. 40 brought in a branch & may have broken it. Ill keep you posted.
-
A40 did finally take a quick turn at incubating,but just before 9:00 nest time he brought in a huge multibranch limb with a large stem end. Some monitors think it went into the nest bowl, others think it might have been slightly in front. All the stomping around in the nest bowl to place it has all of them antsy. Will try to keep an eye on this and will post the video I am certain someone is making but will have to spend some time doing other things today so checking in will be spotty.
-
Sorry Mom. Must have been writing at the same time. Glad you are here to keep an eye on things.
-
Oh Emy I want things to be well here!!!
-
I think the egg is done Emy!!! :( :( :(

Well they have both been incubating since the stick fiasco, and he has brought in more sticks. Just now at 11:10 am he finally brought her a fish. Maybe things have settled down here. If not we might have to start taking blood pressure meds and have defibrillators on standby. This has been a hair raising morning for sure. Hope the egg is okay.
-
I hear you Emy!!!!
She may be getting ready for her 2nd egg ;)
-

[attachment deleted by admin]

;) About 230pmcst dad didn't get out of the bowl, but wings out & flew right out of the bowl. So fast I didn't get a snip.
Just watched a video of dad coming straight out of the bowl. 2nd pic is it.

Here's the ugly branch video. I am gone for the six hours or so.

We have a 2nd egglet. We will never see anything until the babies are bouncing around. One deep bowl!!

-
I sure hope they get this cam functioning a little better soon. So frustrating for it to be frozen so much. Still not clear if there is one or two eggs for sure. Opinion of the monitors seems to be split.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U_LhUl6R98U
-
Some kind of trouble here tonight below the nest out of view beginning around 6:00 nest time. Audio is out of sync making it hard to determine what is going on. Some monitors think they were defending nest from fox in tree. Will post video if one becomes available. Parents seem okay as it gets dark. I will make one from archives if no others appear.
-
Hi Emy!
Looks like 2 egglets to me. Very hard to sit & watch now, can never see in the bowl the way the camera is. I wish next year they could raise it higher.
Oh gosh I hope like heck these 2 don't have any problems with fox, ravens or anything now!!!
She is going to make such a good mom!!
-
The video of the drama posted on ISW
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ScxDibnxoXs
Latest theory by one of the monitors is that A40 brought a fish into the area under the nest. A48 got mad and went down to retrieve it. This got the adrenalin flowing and ended up with them taking it out on some nearby ravens. Hope this is right, much better than the fox bring back. With the sound so out of synch so hard to match what is heard with what is seen.
-
In the darkness before the dawn, the drama continues. Parents remained on edge for quite some time after. The barking noise here is like a more muffled noise I heard last night at about 17:18 pm. Sure wish we could figure out what is going on

A48 is taking her own sweet time returning from her breaks. This is causing A40 a very high level of anxiety at times. Today he called and whined and cried for what must have been hours before she returned. I think he has some residual memory of when A27 left and didn't return. Ravens in the area did nothing to quell his fears. I feel sorry for him.
-
Caught this shift change in the archives for today. A48 comes in with even more fluff. I don't think they ever come in empty handed, or should I say taloned. A40 exits almost straight into the cam.
I have noticed that 4 of the nest monitors are reporting using the term "rolls the egg" and two are reporting "rolls the egg/s" I have yet to see what looked like two eggs being rolled at any given time but there is that capture. Don't know what to think.
-
Pleased to report that save for that incessant wind and the what seems to be more than average rain, things here are pleasantly boring for the last several days. Only a couple of weeks until we can start watching for pips...scratch that. Whose going to see pips in that nest bowl? Make that a hatch in a couple of weeks.
-
Emy, thank you so much for your reports & pics!!!
You know how much I love these 2. Wish we could see the egglets.
I've been crazy with all of the nest egging going on. Will try to get back here.
Thanks again!!! :-*
-
Sauces Canyon has fixed the IR cam and it just came on with audio! And the first thing we hear is the stupid fox.
Follow up...it froze and then broke in under two hours. I was hoping that those warm white egg/s would show up better on the IR image.
-
I heard a cat here yesterday and again this morning. Couldn't figure out where it was coming from. Well it would seem that there is a large population of starlings here practicing ventriloquism. The fox (probably what I thought was a cat) and frogs are some of their favourite imitations. Who knew?
-
According to Eagle Duo at IWS A48 is also a first time mom to be. This is her third year at this site and my third year watching her. I didn't know she was so young. Please let this be a successful hatch...here is Duo's video from yesterday:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bId3yQAd578
-
Thanks Emy! Yes, she is a 1st time mom. Last year if the egg would have survived would have been her 1st baby. She is going to make a wonderful mom.
-
???
-
There was some speculation it might have been a spotted skunk. Apparently a small variety is known on the island. Others thought it might be a young racoon but no one was sure if they are present there. From what I saw it was more of a mummified pelt than food. I don't think we are going to know. Birds should give a presentation to the cam and make it easier for us.
-
From IWS
Video of A48 playing with her mysterious object formerly referred to as mummified pelt.

-
Oh Emy, LOL. Whatever it was gave her something to do while she was on a break. Can't wait to see this couple when they have babies. Their first right?
-
Yes Key, their first, but not for the want of trying. A most unlucky pair last year. Broken egg twice. Her first ever. Previous year A40's mate A27 left and never came back. He stayed on the eggs a very long time...I can't remember how long but may have beeninto the second day. When he finally left for food, the ravens moved in. I believe they think A48 may have driven A27 off, but I am not sure. MPmom will know. A successful hatch will make A48 a first time Mom.
-
I'm sorry Emy but I have to ask. 40 hasn't had anything either. So this year they will both shine? Yes they will. Keeping my fingers crossed for these two. :-* Can't wait.
-
You will find a write up on the Channel Islands research birds here: not fully updated yet though I think
http://z7.invisionfree.com/CHIL_EagleCAM/index.php?showtopic=1990
I took a screen cap of the A40 and A48 info. A40 raised a chick -- A72
-
Yep, 27 disappeared and dad sat for 2 or 3 days on the eggs. He had to leave for food. I have pictures of the ravens taking the egglets. Saddest pics I have seen.
-
Pat, I will never forget that day when the Ravens took the eggs. I was yelling at my computer to try & scare them away.
-
Dear Starlings: Friday is day 35. You know what that means. So quit bugging the Dad. You are flirting with disaster!

Poor dad & those pesty Starlings. Thanks for the video Emy.
I remember posting a pic before the eggs were laid of mom taking a starling right out of the air. Was a quick snack for her.
-
MpMom~~~Great pictures! I was watching these nests the last two years and was so horrified when the Raven took the eaglets!!! >:( >:( >:(
Pat, you meant to say egglets in your post - right? The raven took unhatched eggs - Not hatched eaglets. Correct?
-
Right Baz.
-
Right Baz.
Thanks, Mp. I was about to get "cornfused" - lol. Bad enough it was the unhatched eggs, so I'm glad to get confirmation it wasn't also hatchlings.

Posted a few minutes ago by Dr. Sharpe on IWS Chat:
"iwsciber 3:42 PM - I think it is a bit early for an internal pip. The chicks usually break into the aircell and begin vocalizing about 48 hours before hatching. About 24 hours after the internal pip they will make a hole in the shell, and then about 24 hours after that they will open up the shell in about an hour's time.
iwsciber 3:43 PM - I wouldn't expect an internal pip until at least Saturday or Sunday."

Just my luck. Watched this cam more than any other over two years. Rats.
Posted on the IWS Facebook Page:
" The gremlins got in the camera at the Sauces nest and locked it up so that it is no longer accessible. A hard reboot (disconnecting the power) on site may fix it, but nobody will be on the island until Tuesday afternoon. Until then, I'll stream the other VCOE camera, which unfortunately is a manual focus and we were only able to get it roughly in focus before we ran out of time during the installation. It will give us some idea of what is going on, but I wouldn't watch it too much because it will make you nauseous. "
-
I hear ya Emy! Sad when this could be the day & can't see. :(
-
It just gets worse 😰😢
-
:( :( ;)
-
Look Mom --- cam's back. YAHOOOOOO!!!
-
Just how deep is that nest bowl anyway?
-
Dad left but came right back
-
What a roller coaster tide this hatch watch is. A 40 kept leaving the eggs, then A48 finally returns
And at first shows no interest. Later stands and shades so Dr Sharpe does some serious zooming in onto the nest bowl. Feathers and twigs moving in the breeze provided some exciting moments. I kept holding my breath and getting closer and closer to the screen. All I got from it was crossed eyes and nose prints on my ipad. Forgot to take screen caps again. I do that all the time when I focus in on something. If nothing else shows up I will get something from the archives and post it later.
-
Emy, this is odd. Sitting outside of the bowl ???
-
It's 85 degrees or so there and I am guessing it is humid too. They both keep leaving the nest today. Odd it is indeed, but could be normal for a warm climate. None of the nest monitors seem concerned at the moment and they seem to have several years of experience. I will post if if see or hear anything that might show concern by anyone in the know. I am just too green at this to be offering opinions but very curious about what I am watching today. My experience has been that it is the female on the nest at hatch time. Can't recall a hatch I have watched where Dad was on duty, but I haven't read anything that would make that usual. Just thought it was odd that A48 was gone so long today and gone again now. But I keep hearing tapping and wonder if it is a two legged cam fixer and not a woodpecker. This might explain odd antsy behavior by the parents too.
-
Thanks Emy ;)
-
Monitors are beginning to wonder what's up too. One even asked if maybe they have given up. Much too early to speculate that, I think. I am sure Dr. Sharp will be commenting soon if there is reason to worry. Will keep an eye on both the nest and reports for another couple of hours. My eyes are wearing out though so that will be it for today. Hopefully will last until sun down.
-
Yep, this isn't a good thing :(
-
A48 came back looked around and left again. Now all the on duty monitors are expressing oddness and concern.....sigh. One person spoke up and everyone opened up. One even said they had been concerned for a while. What I haven't seen is an egg roll today, but who the heck can tell what's going on when they are digging in that hole.
-
I am so sad. I waited 2 yrs for these two to be parents. I'm waiting for the ravens to come now. I wonder what happened. Maybe the eggs are broken.

It's official
Posted on the IWS Facebook Page:
" It appears that the Sauces nest failed today. The egg likely broke midday, based upon the adults' behavior. Because a healthy, full-term chick would fill an egg, making it hard to break, it is likely that the egg was either infertile or the chick died early in development and the recent heat may have caused the rotting egg to explode. Although there is time for another clutch, we have not seen a pair lay another clutch of eggs after incubating more than a couple of weeks. Hopefully they will have better luck next year. "

Thanks Emy :'( So sad. I love these 2 so much.
Took a couple of snips from Jan's video.
-
Last night A48 and A40 were at the nest. A40 brought in some fluff and they both moved some sticks around a bit. I not getting my hopes up. They did that and a whole lot more last year for over a month after the second clutch failed. He was bringing her fish every day to the nest and the sticks just kept coming and the mating continued for the first couple of weeks. But nothing ever came of it. I will keep an eye on things here though because you just never know.
From IWS, Eagle Duo's video of dinner fish gift for A 48. He brought her one this morning too. What a guy!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_GhBVn7D00s
-
Sigh!
Edited to highlight the fact that I could not tap out 5 characters without a typo!
-
These two continue with daily nestorations and A40 continues to bring fish gifts to A48, sometimes as many as 3 in a day. This morning they did nestorations a bit, A40 brought in a fish and they mated on the nest. Passionately true to their mission I would say. Still, not unlike last year after failed 2nd clutch. All that dedication went nowhere.
-
Everyday and sometimes twice a day A40 brings A48 a fish. Everyday they continue their nestorations. I can't even imagine how huge that nest is by now. Every now and then they get amorous. They did this all last year after the second clutch failed and I know not the expect this will come to anything and still I hope it will.

Sauces Canyon this morning. Getting back to serious work. I am so hoping for a successful year for these two. I will certainly miss the wing bling. It sure helped me ID them.
-
Thanks MpMom and Emy!
Am I seeing a bracelet, or bracelets - in MpMom's pics posted on Dec., 5th, and on Emy's pic posted today? Or is that my imagination?? So I guess neither of these eagles is from the pair that was here last season, since it appears neither is showing a wing tag - is that correct? Hmmm...
-
Monitors say it is A48 and A40. Same birds as last year and the year before. They both had bands as well as wing bling. The wing bling has fallen off but they both have been id'd. Go here for daily activity:

Thanks again to you and MpMom for sharing the info and posting the very nice pics!

Thanks for the pics today, MpMom! Their nest is so tidy! It looks smaller than I would expect - I mean, I know it is a large nest, but the bowl of straw just barely holds the two of them at the same time. But I guess that just means it is more compact and they have really piled on the rails to keep the expected little ones all together. :)
-
Baz, it is a nice nest!!

MpMom, thanks for the pics. I love that one you got of them yesterday beak to beak! :-* :-* :-* It looks like one is saying, "I heart you." and the other one is replying, "I heart you, too." :-* :-*

CONGRATS ON THEIR FIRST EGG HERE YESTERDAY!!! :-* :-*
MpMom, thanks for all your great snips and captions!

Hi Baz! The egg bowl is so deep can hardly see the eggy :o

Hi Baz! The egg bowl is so deep can hardly see the eggy :o
MpMom, I noticed that!!! I love seeing those deep egg cups! :)
-
These kids will be flying before they get out of this bowl :D :D
-
I think the deep egg cup is to protect from the wind. Some days I get seasick watching this cam. And every time A40 brings in another stick I forget to breathe. The site is not for the faint of heart. Thanks MP for the pics when you can get them. I am very time strssed at the moment but will try to help out in a week or two. By then Dr. Sharpe will have the new parts for the cam installed and viewing should improve significantly.

;) Cam wasn't on yesterday but is this am ;)

Video
http://www.ustream.tv/recorded/82553181
For me there is something wrong with this video. It doesn't move forward. Very odd.
-
I hope they can lay another egglet. Some chatter say she doesn't ball up her feet when she egg sits. I guess I haven't noticed that.
-
Try this one

I hope they can lay another egglet. Some chatter say she doesn't ball up her feet when she egg sits. I guess I haven't noticed that.
MpMom, are you saying that something happened to the first egg? I didn't see anything posted about that if it did. I hope not! I just watched the video! I'm not sure what to make of it though... Did the egg break or hatch? Was that a hatchling or an embryo from a broken egg that I saw being picked up in the egg bowl near the end of that video?
Okay... I'm learning more... I went to http://www.iws.org/interactive_nestchat_allUstream.html and I see in the chat box there, which is for the Two Harbor Eagles, that someone is asking for confirmation of the egg being broken at this Sauces Canyon Eagle nest. No reply in that chat box yet - it was asked about 15 minutes ago. But I assume from that and the video posted above that of course it couldn't be a hatchling since the egg was laid Feb. 1, and so I guess I'm seeing part of that broken egg being picked up by the Eagle near the end of that video then? Is that right? So sad to see the egg lost. Poor Eagles. :( :-* :-* I hope they will lay another - either as possibly still being in their 2-week or so fertile period for copulation and fertilization, or as a re-nesting type of attempt that is sometimes seen when it is still very early in the nesting season. Talons crossed for Mom and Dad here! :-* :-*
I also saw on that link I just posted, some info about the cam at Sauces Canyon, that I found when I scrolled down the left side of that page and found this post from Feb. 1 (copy/pasting it here):
Institute for Wildlife Studies
February 1 at 7:27pm - Los Angeles, California.
The Sauces eagles are the first of our online birds to have an egg this season. The egg was laid this afternoon and thanks to moving the camera 2 feet higher, we are finally able to see it (camera is on the end of a 10' pole attached to an 8' 2x6 attached to the tree trunk). There is still a power problem during the day, but I'll hopefully be able to solve that this weekend.
-
Thanks for the video link Emy!!
Hi Baz & Pat! Yes,it is sad and she is due to lay another today or tomorrow. Cam has been down since this am. No telling if she had laid an egg. I wish they would have luck this year with at least one.
-
Just checked to see if the cam was on. No idea if she has an egglet. :o
-
;D
-
Posted on the IWS Facebook page:
"It appeared that the Sauces eagles lost their first egg this morning, but are now incubating again, so it is likely that another egg was laid during the day when the camera was out (I should fix that in the next 2 days). We also had both A-60 and A-49 show up on the Fraser Point nest at different times today, which further supports my theory that A-64 (the Fraser Point male) disappeared during the off season. If A-60 takes over the nest, we could have the two chicks that hatched in 2006 (the first in over 50 years) breeding together. Finally, I've increased the quality of most of the cams, so check them out on full screen."
-
Yep, it is likely there is another egg :-\
-
Thanks MpMom and Emy.
CONGRATS ON THE NEWEST (2nd) EGGLET LAID YESTERDAY!!! TALONS CROSSED THEY SUCCESSFULLY HATCH AND FLEDGE THAT EGGLET! (so sad about the loss of their 1st egg laid here this year.)
-
;)
-
;)
-
Me, too, MpMom! ;)
-
2 egglets ;D
-
OMG MpMom! Great pics! Another egg? Laid today? That wonderful!!! :) So, talons crossed they will be able to successfully incubate both of these eggs to hatch and fledge! :-* :-* CONGRATS ON ANOTHER EGG FOR THIS EAGLE PAIR! I hate that their first egg this season broke, but now they have two more eggs in the nest, and I hope they will have success with them. :)
-
Some trumpeting at the 6:45 a.m. shift change when A-40 takes over for a while.
-
Nice pics, Em! I can't tell if those white specks are hoarfrost, or rime ice, or snow, or just light reflection. :D
-
It's the Channel Islands off the coast of S. California. I would go with paintball or pillow fight. Some mods have been complaining about all the white. They have requested that the birds clean up the mess but as usual it fell on deaf ears. The solution for everything here is more sticks and I would prefer they didn't go that route...it's too hard on me. ;D :D :D
It just hit me..you are talking about the pixelating diamonds. I got so used to them I don"t really see them anymore. I think they might occasionally be having some bandwith/power supply issues since going to such a high resolution. I thought you meant the bigger white stuff at first.
-
From the archives this morning. Incoming stick. Didn't catch it in the air but second cap shows it landed 6 seconds later. Final cap shows just how close to those eggs those sticks might be. As he walked over to settle I was holding my breath again even though it was video and I already knew the eggs were fine.
-
Thanks, Em. I had been wondering about how close some of those sticks really are to the eggs. I know the perspective on cam doesn't always give a true look at such.
-
;)
-
Thanks for your pics, MpMom. Hope that's food on the beak!
-
Me too Baz :o
Dad's been on the nest.
-
Hi Pat! Their 1st one broke. We now have 2 eggs.

-
Great pics, MpMom! In your "Moms break branch" pic... wow! Great shot! ... Could you tell - did Mom break that branch on purpose and bring it back to the nest, or did it break by accident when she landed on it?
-
Oh Baz, I just meant that was moms branch she goes to when she takes a break. I'm sorry ;)
-
Thanks Pat!!!
-
Oh Baz, I just meant that was moms branch she goes to when she takes a break. I'm sorry ;)
MpMom, thanks for explaining that. :D :D :D And "duh" on me! ;) :D Got it now - it's Mom's "break time" branch... I will understand next time. I should've figured that out anyway. ::) :D
-
It's all good Baz ;)
-
Yeah it is really hot down there. Poor things :(
-
Cam hasn't been working :(
-
Back up & running Pat ;D

If I counted right, the 10th is day 35 from the first unbroken egg. I don't recall ever feeling this level of anticipatory anxiety over the approach of my own due dates. We better have the winebulance ready for this one Mom. Sorry for all the edits. I shouldn't be doing this so late at night.
-
Pip Watch has been announced at this nest and one of the mods said A48 appeared to be 'listening' as she stood over the eggs late this afternoon. Here's hoping....

Eggs To Hatch Live On Explore's New Sauces Bald Eagle Cam
Explore and the National Park Service are excited to bring you an all-new cam streaming live from California's Channel Islands - the Sauces Bald Eagle Cam!
And we're more-than-thrilled because there are already eggs in the nest and they're expected to hatch this week! After the parents welcome their new chicks, both mom and dad will take turns hunting for food, bringing it to the nest and tearing off pieces to feed their young. The couple will protect and nurture them until the juvenile eagles branch off on their own at 10-14 weeks of age.
The Sauces Bald Eagle Cam is made possible through an educational partnership between the National Park Service, Montrose Settlements Program, Institute for Wildlife Studies, Ventura County Office of Education, The Nature Conservancy, and explore.org.
Thank you for joining us in the nest to watch the bald eagle family grow. While you visit, take snapshots and share them in the comments section or email them to [email protected]. We'll share some of the best with credit to you on Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook.
Never stop learning,
The Explore Team
-
There is no way we'll see a pip. The bowl is way to deep.
-
LOL MpMom... Deep egg cups/bowls seem to be all the rage in Bald Eagledom this year. :D ;) Thanks for your morning pics and the report about a new cam... is that the same cam you have been posting your snips from here this season?
Hi Emy! Thanks for the Pip Watch announcement. :)
-
We might get a peak. EagleDuo captured this yesterday morning
-
Wow Em, where did they get that angle from??? The angle I have there won't be a pic from me. :-\ :-\
-
I think that it might be from the Ustream cam. Dr. Sharpe sometimes will take a few minutes to pan and zoom from time to time, it might be one of those moments. I am still having trouble finding viewing time and generally try to catch up on things at night. I have my recorder going today to see if I can catch something, but I am just test running things. With the upgrade to windows 10 and all the HD cams I want to make sure enerything is working. We have had such a warm winter and so little snow that Bev and I are guessing our falcons might return early. I don't want to be caught off guard. I will spending checking in on the site regularly throughout the day
and if I happen to catch a pip or a hatch here, I will post it.
-
Thanks Em! ;D I'm sure that I won't see it.
-
I'm confused. LOL - so what's new? :D ;) MpMom and Emy, do either of you know how many physical cam units are mounted for viewing this nest via online streaming? Just the one (ptz)? Or more than one physical camera? Also, from recent posts, I'm only guessing that there is more than one online site which live streams from the cam(s) here, and if so, I wonder where I might find a list of those sites/urls? Thanks for any info you can share. And I apologize for asking if that info was already posted here... :)

I am not sure how things work but it looks to me like there is only one cam on multiple feed, but that last note on transmission problems confuses me too.
I can't get the Wild Earth cam to load. Might be an iPad or a transmission problem, or maybe the feed wasn't reactivated. So all and alI I am just as confused. ?\_(ツ)_/?

Emy, thanks! That info helps me a lot. :) And LOL, too, on the confusion. ;) Oh! Is that drawing at the end of your post a Confusion Couch?? If so... LOL and Very Good!!! Oh, and could you scootch over a bit, puh-lease? I'm coming aboard, too! ;) :D

Emy, thanks, that video is totally hilarious... First Dad completely ignores Mom returning for her shift and Dad just tucks his head back like nobirdy else is there but him and the egglets... and then poor Dad... Mom literally pushed him off the egg cup! OMG! I've never seen that before! What a total hoot! :o :D :D
I watched twice and never saw the eggs in that video though. But that is now one of my fav videos. :D :D :D

MpMom, thanks for the pics - the one captioned "Little looksee" is the first pic showing both eggs that I have seen here, I think. So hard to catch that... thanks! :)

Hi Pat! We have a baby. ;D ;D
Emy, thank you! That an odd bird :o
-
I got a quick cap of our baby just as the cam went wonky. I have been slow to get excited today. So many tears have been shed herevover the years. My first reaction was relief. No so with A40 who appears to be absolutely giddy. He has worked so hard for so long ....and A48... What a gal.. She went through all that for so long and didn't even know why.
-
I know Em! I am so happy for these 2. It's been a long haul here.
-
For those that want help with ID. The Female (A48) has a silver nand on her left leg -- on the right when facing the screen. Male (A40) has a silver band on opposite leg
-
Not sure how much food the baby is getting.

Got 1 pic before the cam went off again. >:(
-
Just dropped by the nest to find a feed in progress. Looks like the staging of an Alfred Hitchcock movie. One of the mods says this is likely a seal umbilical cord and highly nutritious. Eeeww. These kids need a bath.

MpMom, "what did you do to your head" pic! Mom looks like she got a buzz cut that went wrong. LOL... I'm assuming it was just the wind playing havoc with her headfeathers? - at least I hope! Thanks for your screen caps here today! I love it when both parents are on the nest together with their "kid(s)." :) :-* :-*
-
She sure looked funny Baz :D
-
Hi MpMom! Thanks for the pic today. Is her left eye okay? I don't know if it was just partially closed at the time of the screen cap - do you? The left side of her head looks much the same as in your pic yesterday, which made me wonder... Do you think it's just a "messy" do from weather and eating prey, or is there something else going on there? I'm going to assume she's fine, but I know you have been watching way more than me and probably know if it's just a passing "bad hair" look and nothing more.
-
Here are a couple of pics Baz. No idea what she got into ??? :-\
-
Thanks, MpMom. I was more concerned about if you thought it is an injury or not. Her left eye looks normal in the pics you posted since I mentioned it earlier today, so hopefully that means there isn't any injury.
-
Oh my gosh, I finally got in after trying many days!!!!
-
MpMom, glad you got back in here again. Thank you for posting your pics yesterday. :) I can't get over how big the eaglets are already! They are adorable!

They are huge Baz :o

Ohmygosh, Mp!!! Those are great pics!!! LOL - so glad 63 made it back to the nest safely. :-* :-* Wonder what 62 thought about all that... LOLOL... and I wonder where all that fledge adventure went before 63 returned! :D I can't recall... is this nest in a tree? I think you psoted a pic of that before, but now I can't remember!
-
Gone again Baz :o
These pics are Lori's, of the nest & area.
-
LOL Mp... It looks like it was 62 that left the nest this time! Yay! Do I have that right? It was 63 in the pics earlier. I wonder if they have actually left the nest tree yet, or are just going to different branches in that same tree. I'm always glad to find out they can get back to the nest after they first leave it. Thanks for Lori's pics of the nest and nest area. Rugged-looking country. But these trees... I can't tell what kind they are - some kind of evergreen it looks like - but I wonder what kind? The branches, and the needles on them look so thick... it makes me wonder about newbie branchers and fledglings being able to have some kind of place to land.

Does like pinetreeish Baz ;)
I love when they are able to fly in & out ;D

This is a test post because this thread went "missing" from the list of threads on the "Other Raptors" board in Forum. It was found with a search by Ginger. Thanks, Ginger! I'm going to see if posting to it will make it show back up in our index list on Forum. Talons crossed!
-
It worked! After I posted to this thread, it now appears in my list of threads on the "Other Raptors" board in Forum. I hope it does for others, so we can use it again in the new nesting season maybe. :)
-
Where the heck was it ??? :o
-
LOL MPMOM, I take it that means it's now showing up in your thread list now, too. :D I don't know where they go when they go missing, but I know they "disappear" from the lists from time to time for some unknown technical "gremlin" reason - and Amy has been able to "put them back" in the lists when people let her know it has happened and tells her which thread it was. That's all I know - which isn't much. :D
-
MPMOM, do you know the names, or some keywords in the names, of any other of the "missing" threads not showing in our list for any of the eagle nests we talked about the last few days? We could do a search in Forum using those keywords, like Ginger did, to find them and then make a post to "bring them back to the list" again - assuming they haven't been deleted from Forum in the annual cleanup. If you can let me know, I will be happy to try to search for them and make a post in them to "re-activate" them in the list of threads on the board. Thanks!

Just saw this...
Over the next 1-2 months we will be working on completely replacing the Two Harbors, West End, and Sauces camera systems in cooperation with Explore.org. We will likely do a little work on the Fraser Point cam as well. Work at/near the nests should be completed by 15 December and work on relay sites should be completed by mid-January. Therefore, cams may be off for days/weeks at a time through the end of the year.
-
Thanks, T40. That's great news for A23!
MpMom, thanks for posting that info about the sites that are getting new cam equipment. It should be nice viewing when they come back online live afterward.

I took some video captures this afternoon for practice. I don?t have movie making skills, I only do to document nest activities when I am monitoring the falcons. Today not only gave me practice, it gave me a good look at A40 an A48 so I can get to know them for ID purposes. It was a whole lot easier when they were wearing their wing bling and this new camera angle beautiful as it is, means more to learn -- at least until I get used to it. Is it my imagination MpMom or do they look like they will be early this year? I know they are compulsive renovators, but this nest seems very ready.

Hi Emy!
Thanks for the video!!! I am pretty sure mom has the band on the right leg & dad has his on the left. I'll check into laying time.
-
Alright. In 2015, 1st egglet was Feb 7.
In 2016, 1st egglet was Feb 1.
So it is getting close!!!!
-
Hi Emyraud! Thanks for the video.
Hi MpMom, thanks for all the s'caps - this nest IS perfect!
Hmmm... Feb. 1st is only one week from today! ;)
-
;)

Hi, MP
This is a nice nest and handsome couple, too. Love "Pretty"!

Hi Lanie! Great to see you here. This is a great nest & area!! ;D

The egglets has been broken. :( :'( Hoping for more egglets!
-
Very sad about the broken egg. Sorry to hear this, MP. It seems like I heard this has happened before on this nest?
-
MpMom, awww... I was seeing your s'caps just now and got sooo eggcited when I saw the egg... and then I saw your s'cap and post of the egg being broken. :( Poor boidies... Do you know if it was just an accidental mis-step in the nest or if a stick got it, or if it was broken by some outsider that came to this nest? No matter how it broke, I hope they will lay at least one more egg and have some success with brooding a fledgling here this year. Good luck to the Eagles! :-* :-* :-* Thank you for posting, MpMom!
-
Lanie & Baz, they worked so hard to make the nest perfect before the egg. Sad.
Yes, since she came to the nest (not saying it was her), they have had the 1st egg broken :-\ Hope she lays another ;)
-
Thanks, MpMom. Yes, they made a wonderful-looking nest and egg cup. Hmmm... I hope it was just bad luck. Talons crossed that another egg will be laid this year.
-
Dr. Sharpe posted that he had seen A48 working the nest bowl.. he thought she was adjusting some sticks, but perhaps the egg hit against something hard or in the alternative that perhaps DDT might still be a problem here.
correction. Here is the exact post. Slightly different than what I posted from memory.
Posted 2/1/17 by Dr. Sharpe on IWS Chat:
"I thought the Sauces female was hitting branches when she dug down yesterday, so perhaps the egg was laying against something hard, causing it to break. Or perhaps DDT is still an issue."
-
Second egg around noon today
-
:'(

:'(

Posted 2/3/17 on the IWS Facebook page:
"The Sauces birds laid and lost another egg today. Looking at the history of the nest, it has failed in 5 of the 9 previous nesting attempts, with 2 different males and 3 different females. Male A-28 was present 2008-2011, and the male A-40 from 2012 to present. Female A-02 was present in 2008-2009 and failed both years. Female A-27 was present from 2010 until she was displaced by A-48 in 2013. A-27 was successful every year except 2013, when ravens took the eggs. Female A-48 was unsuccessful in 2014 and 2015, and had two chicks last year. Why the eggs are breaking so quickly with the current pair is hard to say. Unfortunately, we can't get information on potential contaminates from eggshells; only from egg contents."
A48 has rarely left the nest since the second egg broke. She spent the night there and was on it still as I write.

Oh, such sad news. Emyraud, thank you for posting the pics and info, though I wish it were more upbeat. I feel like there must definitely be some environmental/contamination issue for such easy egg-breakage, and so often, even though different eagles nested here.
There are many articles on the topic, but this one from about 3 years ago talks about the study of California Condor eggs that were tested and measured and showed at least half still were affected by DDT. This is an excellent article that talks about how and why DDT is still affecting the birds and marine life on the Pacific U.S. coast... If you are patient enough to read the whole article, which is not long, and is easy to follow, there is reference near the end of it about a planned study, at that time, for the effect on other raptors in that area, such as eagles - not just the condors:

Baz thanks for that info - its a clue!
Could it be radiation? Lots of it leaking from Japan Fukushima into Pacific.

Not much activity at the nest today. I will be watching tomorrow to see if a third egg is on the way. This pair is doggedly determined. A second clutch in a few weeks is also a very real possibility with these two. And
Posted today by Dr. Sharpe on ISW
"We raised the camera higher at Sauces, which is why we can now see the eggs. I don't think the nest construction has anything to do with the eggs breaking (even though I said earlier that maybe they were hitting sticks). This nest has gotten thicker over the years and the center of the nest should just be grass and composted grass. Any sticks should be a foot or more down."
-
Third egg came and broke almost right away. No pic or video. Too sad.
-
definitely diet or environmental.
Read more on the Fukushima leaking into the Pacific
and drifting to U.S. shores.
Rule nothing out
very sad
-
Thank you for posting the status, though it is very sad news that the 3rd egg also broke... Poor animals - not just these two bald eagles - so terribly affected by the pollution in their environment and/or food supply in this region. I hope it will somehow be removed or neutralized eventually.
-
A48 tonight. Incubating her broken egg. :'(. At least she was for a while) Now she is just standing in the nest bowl guarding what could have been, I guess. I will keep tabs on this site and watch for a second clutch and likely more of the same. After they fledged 2 last year, I thought the broken eggs were over with. Now I am wondering how they made it all the way to hatching without breaking.
-
Just after 5 am nest time and she is still there
-
A48 continues to work on the nest bowl on another soggy and now foggy morning.
Yesterday A40 brought some food and there was some bonding on the nest.
-
I missed it. I went to put supper in the oven and came back to find out egg #4 is now under A48.
Waiting to see how it's doing.
Hold on. I just saw her walking around. No egg and no sign of one. Cam is off and on going to highlights and I might have been mis informed. Will try to verify.
-
Here it is.
-
Oh dear.
-
She does some clean up and the settles on it again. The mothering instinct is strong.
-
Emyraud, thank you for your posts and updates. Can you clarify for me... was that a 4th egg? Or is that one of the broken eggs that had been laid before... that we already knew about? I wasn't sure what "Oh dear" means in this context. Sweet Eagles - they keep on keeping on. :-* :-*
-
That was a fourth egg. And enough for me for a while. I have been watching this site since A27. I will be taking a break from watching birds for a bit.
I just saw this, I think from Dr Sharpe
Posted on the IWS Facebook page:
" The Sauces pair have a fourth egg. This is the first time that we have had four confirmed eggs in a single clutch on the Channel Islands."
"And the fourth egg is broken at Sauces. Hopefully she'll take a month off and try again in March. There is no way to determine why the eggs are breaking without trapping and examining the female, and we would not do that during the breeding season."
-
This is just heartbreaking! :'( :'( :'( :'(
-
poor birds!
-
Awww, Emyraud, I understand. It is sad. I've already stepped back a notch from live cam nest-watching, too. The eagles here are so awesome, but also up against some hard challenges not of their own doing. :-* :-* ((HUGS)) to you, Emyraud.

Thank you Yankeexpress for the news and the capture. I saw her around noon and thought she might be up to something. The coward in me couldn't stay to watch. I checked in just before 9pm nest time and saw an egg roll. The egg is intact with no obvious signs of a problem at the moment. There is a long road ahead, but this egg has made it longer than 4 of the first five. Hope springs eternal.
-
Checked in again at 5:45 nest time. Not so sure about this one. Hopefully just straw and camera angle
-
:'(
-
Thanks Yank & Emy!
Sad all over again. I love these 2 so much :'( :'( :'( :'(
-
Well, I can't make out the details of the cam pic, but from the "cry" emoticon and the "sad" comment, I take it the 6th egg has broken. I'm so sorry about that news. Thanks to all posting.
-
This is really troubling not knowing what is causing the shells to crack. Is it environmental, in the water or fish they consume or a health issue with Mom or Dad? I'm amazed that she's laid 6 eggs and from reading the scroll below the nest cam they say a possible 7th on Monday. I didn't think an eagle could lay so many eggs in one season. Adding to the mystery is this happened in 2014 and 2015 and 2016 they were successful raising two.
-
I can't believe mama laid a 6th egg either!! I hope Dr Sharpe watches & can find out what is happening here.
Deke, I have watched kids fledge here too & they are such great parents. They need to find out why this is happening :'(
-
Hi MpMom, Yankee and All. Prayers that all will be well for this beautiful eagle family. Thank you.
-
Hi everyone. I'm really sad about the 6th egg breaking here, too.
For those interested, I'm re-posting two posts from this thread on Feb. 4th of this year - one from Emyrauld, with some history and notes, and one from me in reply to that. My post includes a link to an article that may be of interest to those who have questions about what may possibly be an environmental factor here related to possible cause of egg-breaking issues. It's a long article, and it requires continuing to scroll past the irritating embedded ads in it, but the reader will be rewarded with good info all the way to the end of the article, which is related not just to California Condors, but also to other raptors, such as Eagles, who may feed on the animals in this part of the country who have been shown by research to still have DDT in their systems - leftover in the marine environment from long ago, and passed up the food chain - as explained in the article link in my quoted post below.
I think this is one possible explanation for why these eagles sometimes are able to hatch eggs, and why sometimes the eggshells are so thin that they break easily... I think it depends on their diet and what toxins are in what they are eating. Just my thoughts, obviously. I will be looking forward to hearing if Dr. Sharpe is able to do any follow-up research and testing specific to these eagles at this location to determine the cause of the eggs breaking.
Here are the two posts I am referencing - remember, they are from Feb 4th, 2017, from this thread...
Posted 2/3/17 on the IWS Facebook page:
"The Sauces birds laid and lost another egg today. Looking at the history of the nest, it has failed in 5 of the 9 previous nesting attempts, with 2 different males and 3 different females.

Thanks for posting baziunc, I just read the article. Interesting and sounds to me that could explain what's happening here. Especially since the breakage has happened with so many different eagle pairs. Can't imagine what can be done now since it's lingered so long in the environment and probably will for years to come. Just tragic all the way around for all wildlife that becomes contaminated with this poison.
-
Hi Lani! Sad for this family :'(
Thanks Baz, I remember Emy posting that. Sad :'(
-
Me too, MpMom.....sad for them.....Humans >:(
-
I emailed the panel of eagle experts. One of them suggested looking at whether the nests of other eagles and brown pelicans were also failing in the area. Although DDT contamination is possible, it isn't the only potential factor. If any of you have that information, or know where nest reporting is done for Sauces beyond this cam, please let me know.
I also got asked if this was another trio. I don't watch this nest closely enough. As far as I know, it isn't, but wasn't there an eagle trio in the area at one point?
Thanks!
Amy
-
Thank you Amy!
I can't think of this happening to any of the other nests I watch.
This isn't a trio just a pair. It may be 8 or 9 years ago there was a trio on West End, which didn't last long. That happened before I came on.
If I think of any other nest I will be sure to let you know.
-
I sure hope she doesn't lay the 7th egg. :-\
-
Here we go again. This afternoon Egg #7. Thanks to Janntonne (Eagle Duo) for the video
https://youtu.be/9mIYPuCGdG4
-
Are you kidding Emy :o I have never seen anything like this anywhere!!!
Emy, is the cam down??
-
Dead serious. Posting pic of egg at just before 5pm nest time. This is after A40 spread his wings across the bowl twice. Egg still seems intact.
This egg is on the 6th day after egg 6. Did we miss one on Monday? Nothing in the nest observations would indicate such. So then is this a third clutch? Or I did she resorb one? Or is a 6 day spacing not that unusual? My head is spinning trying to understand.
-
Em is there a new cam site to look at? My cam says yesterdays date :-\
-
Try this one Mp
http://explore.org/live-cams/player/channel-islands-national-park-sauces-bald-eagle?popoff=true
In the past we have watched this pair continue with serious nestorations, mating and A40 bringing food gives for months after clutch failures. I think it went well into May in 2015. So the behaviour and the rugged determination is no surprise. The number of eggs though is mind boggling. Maybe A48 is part chicken. I can't think of anything else.
The egg failures are a puzzle too, especially after 2 of the three survived to hatch and fledge last year. All that rain was that somehow a factor? It's been drier the last week or so. Maybe a drier nest will help. I will be watching and waiting with everything crossed including my eyes. (I really don't know why I do this to myself)
-
Thank you Em. It worked! :-*
I just really feel bad for these 2. I don't understand why this is happening.
-
Just after midnight nest time and egg is still intact or at least seems to be.
-
4 am and egg is still be rolled so likely still intact. Cam went to highlights so will have to wait until it's back live.
-
Got a look at the egg on an exchange at just after 6 a.m. Stills looks like it might be intact. Longest surviving egg with the exception of #1 and closing in on that one. Everything, including eyes remains crossed. I keep dosing off. Nap time.
-

MpMom and Emyrauld! I can hardly believe it! I wondered if I could be dreaming.. this is incredible! Thank you both for the pics, info, links!
Is the 7th time in one nesting season here the charm?!?!?!?
If this egg stays intact and hatches... well... I think some re-writes of some pages about Bald Eagle nesting will be in order. I'm almost afraid to hope... hopes have been dashed here so many times... I am a little protective of my own feelings here now... LOL, like that would make any difference.
Okay... I'M OFFICIALLY HOPING!!! HANG IN THERE EGGLET!!! WE'RE ALL PULLING FOR YOU AND YOUR INCREDIBLE MOM AND DAD :-* :-* :-*
-
;)
-
I admit that I was scared to click on this thread. So desperately want these two to have a chance at parenting this year!
-
I can't believe this Momma has tried with 7 eggs. I am sure hoping this one will be successful; they deserve it, for sure. Thoughts are with this nest and those that follow this brave eagle couple.
-
Ditto what WW JW and laniebelle said... and I'm with MpMom's caption - talons crossed for sure! Thanks, MpMom! I'm afraid to look for any updates... my head is in the
eggcup sand. Hang in there eggshell and egglet and "Mom and Dad"! :-*
-
So hope and pray that this one is successful after all they've been through. Such a display of persistence and determination. They are truly amazing!

MpMom, thanks for the pics today! :) I was almost scared to come to this thread today... I am SO HAPPY to see that this egg is still intact! Talons crossed they get to brood this egglet till it hatches and then raise a fledgling this year! HOPING!!! :) :-* :-* :-*
-
I totally understand what you're saying, baz. I clicked on all the other threads before I dared to open this one.
Fingers still crossed for this pair and their latest attempt at being parents this year.

I hear you Baz & WW. I'm hoping!!!

Oh MpMom, I peeked in last night when someone posted 7th egg was hatch. I held my breath checking tonight. I was afraid to say anything last night except for silent prayers for this eagle family. Thank you for pics... So good to see 24 hours + pass. They are an amazing pair. <3
-
MpMom, many thanks for the photos of this amazing nest and even more amazing pair of bald eagles!
Been keeping an eye on this one.
Hoping for some success in every way this time around.

OMG! This is totally amazing! Must be a record for number of eggs a BE can lay. Not to jinx anything but I wonder how they can all be fertile as I thought BEs were only fertile a few weeks a year. Hoping and praying for a success with these two!
-
WOW!! :o
That's just...astounding!

MP, thanks for the caps of this special nest. I'm glad that one of your favorite nests is hopefully having success with egglets, finally this season. Amazing to see a 2nd this morning. Talons crossed!

MpMom, Great to see the eggs and mom are okay.
-
Everyone..
So far and so good.
Sure hope all turns out well for this pair and their eagles-to-be. :D
-
MP - lovely shot. Another day has passed...successfully. I am always leary to read the latest post on here, but so glad to see the good news this evening.
SED, all Sauces followers, Mom and egglets

Thanks Shep, I read their chat. One egg broke :'(
-
Awww Lani ... :'(
Laying 8 eggs takes quite a toll on that bird
I have more concern for her survival than any young

We have a broken one dad is moving :'( :'( :'( :'(
I am so sad the other broken now :'( :'( :'( :'( :'(

Oh, so sad. MP so sorry to see these caps.
-
I can't always tell from the "oh no" kinds of posts exactly what happened.
I'm confused, MpMom. Did both eggs break (7 and 8 ) - or just one of them?
I hope anyone who sees my question and knows the answer will post it, please. Thanks. I'm so sad about one of the two eggs breaking, and I don't know if they still have one egg left in the nest.
-
Both eggs are gone Baz :'(
-
MpMom, OEW and All, hugs to all here. I'm very sad and sorry for the loss of the eggs. Prayers for this beautiful couple. Thank you all for your posts, photos and knowledge of this nest.
-
MpMom, thank you for posting that clarification, though it isn't what I was hoping to hear. I'm so sad, too. :( :'( :'(
-
Sad Lani & Baz. Now they just mated AGAIN :(

Thank you Pera :-\
-
Sad Lani & Baz. Now they just mated AGAIN :(
Love will go on, and so will this beautiful couple.
-
Sad Lani & Baz. Now they just mated AGAIN :(
Oh no! I'm crushed... :'( :'( :'(
However, the species endevors to survive at this nest. I wonder if relocating this pair further away would help. Or are the contaminates in their bodies as well as the enviorment.
There is always hope and prayer.
-
Hi Phylliz!
I don't know why or what is in them. I am pretty sure Dr Sharpe is watching. I feel for them :'(
-
I'm so sorry to hear about this. :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( Eight eggs.
*sigh*
-
Hugs MpMom and All here, sorry :'(

I had read this report from Dr. Sharpe before the season started but somehow neglected to bookmark it. I've been trying to find it again since the first egg failures and finally managed to do so. No solace in the report, but Dr. Sharpe had DDE concerns for the 2015 season.
I've not been able to find a similar report for the 2016 season. I hope Dr. Sharpe managed to get the permit needed to collect the failed eggs.

...there were 6 nests that failed during incubation, which is concerning because of the history of DDE-induced eggshell thinning. We have evidence that the DDE load of bald eagles increases as they age and it is possible that birds on the Channel Islands may be reaching a threshold of DDE contamination that is reducing hatching success. We were unable to collect eggshells from failed nests this year because we have yet to receive a Migratory Bird Treaty Act permit allowing for the collection of eggshells (on-going application since 2012) and were not added to the Region 8 permit until 14 April, after the majority of failures. For the 2016 season, we will attempt to get permission to collect failed eggs for analyses earlier in the season.
pera, thank you for posting this. It contains info that puts additional emphasis on the report I posted the link on twice in this thread recently about this issue in this region. The report I referenced in my posts was from 3 years ago, from a different author/group, but I have been hoping to see some follow-on info, and your post has some of that, even though it is from 2015. I wonder if they issued another report on the topic for 2016.
pera, have you sent this to Amy/mrsfalcon? If not, I hope you will since she was wanting to get more info about reports of egg failures in other nests or species in this area, other than the pair of BEs in the Sauces nest on this thread. I think she is very interested in collecting more info on this topic, as per post about it a few days in this thread. Thanks again for posting it. It isn't good news, but it's important to learn about this.
-
Thank you Pera & Baz. Sad!!!
Hi Lani! I know, it is so sad :'(
-
Thank you Pera, I wonder if the Sauces eagles will leave the area next year. I'm not saying they will think like a human on this. Just saying, Decorah mom and dad started a new nest. Could this pair possibly do that too? Just my own thoughts on this. I pray Dr Sharpe is allowed to do studies on the egg shells.
Hugs MpMom :-*

A couple of updates:
Posted by Dr Sharpe Mar 15 2017, 08:20 PM.
As have many of you, we have been intently watching the Bald Eagle pair at Sauces Canyon on Santa Cruz Island. We are disheartened to see that the most recent eggs broke yesterday. We do not know why the eggs keep breaking, but will continue to monitor the nest and further investigate the cause. We will attempt to collect prey samples and eggshell fragments and analyze them for contaminant levels and eggshell thinning. Although this is an unfortunate situation for this pair, we are encouraged by their successful nesting in 2016 and the continued recovery of the Bald Eagle population across the Channel Islands. Thank you to all the dedicated web cam viewers for your observations and concern for the pair.

Posted 3/17/17 on the IWS Facebook page:
"We have our first confirmed bald eagle chick of the year. It is on Santa Cruz Island and just 5 kilometers down the coast from the Sauces nest. The crew will provide more information in their weekly update, but I think you'll be excited by who the parents are."
-
I have pulled some background information on the Sauces nest from the annual reports. More information can be found at the links below. There is so much information being produced it is a credit to the small band of volunteers that collect, collate, report and post so much of it. The two links cited below are just a small sampling of the information available. Page 3 of the second link shows where you can find all the annual reports. The 2016 report has not been filed yet.

Bald Eagle Restoration on the California Channel Islands January ? December 2015
14th Annual Report
Page 10
Santa Cruz Island
We surveyed the 7 known breeding territories on Santa Cruz and located active nests in 5 territories (Sauces Canyon, Fraser Point, Cueva Valdez, Fry?s Harbor, Malva Real; Fig. 9). We surveyed much of the island for new territories in conjunction with peregrine falcon surveys and located 2 new breeding territories: Baby?s Harbor and Smuggler?s (Fig. 9).
Sauces Canyon Territory. The Sauces Canyon pair (Fig. 9) used the same nest as in 2014. Male A-40, a bird from the ACC, was hacked on Santa Cruz in 2005. The female, A-48, an ACC-produced bird, was hacked on Santa Cruz in 2006. An egg was laid on 7 February and we were not able to confirm whether more eggs were laid. The nest failed during incubation on 15 March and there were no further nesting attempts.
We replaced the camera with a different camera in November 2015 and raised it about 1.5m higher so that we should have a better view into the nest, as well as night vision, in 2016.
From 2014 report page 10
Sauces Canyon Territory. The Sauces Canyon pair (Fig. 7) used the same nest as in 2013. Male A-40, a bird from the ACC, was hacked on Santa Cruz in 2005. The female, A-48, an ACC-produced bird, was hacked on Santa Cruz in 2006. The first egg was laid on 15 February, but broke on 22 February. The first egg of a second clutch was laid on 16 March, but soon after the egg was laid A-40 returned with a large, forked stick that got caught around A-48?s neck, causing her to step on and break the egg. There were no further nesting attempts.
From 2013 report page 10
Sauces Canyon Territory. The Sauces Canyon pair (Fig. 9) used the same nest as in 2012. Male A-40, a bird from the ACC, was hacked on Santa Cruz in 2005. The female, A-27, was collected from Alaska and hacked on Santa Cruz in 2004. The first egg was laid on 24 February and a second was laid on 27 February. Normal incubation continued until 4 March, at which time A-27 stopped returning to the nest. A-40 incubated alone until he left the nest on 7 March, at which time ravens flew away with the two eggs (Fig. 10). On 12 March, the Fraser Point female, A-49, was seen visiting the nest, although she had eggs at her own nest by this date (see below). A-49 showed up on the nest until 15 March, at which time A-48, an ACC-produced bird released in 2006, was seen at the nest. A-48 was seen in the territory through the end of the year.
From the 2012 report, page 9
Sauces Territory. The Sauces pair used the same Sauces Canyon nest as in 2011 (Fig. 7). Male A-40, a bird from the ACC, was hacked on Santa Cruz in 2005. The female, A-27, was collected from Alaska and hacked on Santa Cruz in 2004. The first egg was laid on 2 March and a second was laid on 6 March. Chicks hatched on 8 and 10 April
We entered the nest on 8 June to install leg bands, VHF transmitters, and wing markers on the eaglets, and to obtain blood samples (Fig. 8, Table 2). Eagle A-81 fledged on 21 June and A-82 fledged on 2 July. A-81 was seen on Santa Rosa on 30 August, but he returned to Santa Cruz within about a week. On 12 September, we found him in a narrow erosion gully from which he could not escape on the west end of the island. We accessed the gully with a ladder, captured the bird, and placed him in a dog crate. Once the bird was out of the gully we provided him with fish (it is believed to have been trapped for a couple of days) and released him near Christy Ranch. He was seen flying and feeding several times after his release and was last seen on 22 September. He likely moved to Santa Rosa around this time, as we did pick up a signal from his transmitter towards Santa Rosa on 5 November. A-82 flew to Santa Rosa by 31 August and we last received a signal from her VHF transmitter on 9 September on Santa Rosa.

Many thanks Emy for all this information and the map. This sounds like there is going to be a solid investigation in this nest and it's issues.
I know what 'hack' means in falconry. I'm guessing it has the same application/ meaning in relation to other raptors such as bald eagles.

Thanks for the info from last season's activity.
Most interesting!
Took some time typing this out. ;)

Credit where credit is due. I mostly cut and pasted the hard work of IWS volunteers. Complete report referenced here:
http://z7.invisionfree.com/CHIL_EagleCAM/index.php?showtopic=10862
This was done just to show how re-population is progressing in the area. It is a slow process and they work very hard as do all who are working in this kind of field. Every success is watered by buckets of tears.

Too bad on the internet. But, we have the on island cam. And, tha'ts something for sure.
Emy many tha;nks for the update on our couple.

Fox News had a short clip of several BEs riding chunks of ice floating in a river...forget where as I had to run from kitchen to catch it. But, Brett Bauer called them 'American's favorite raptor' and said' what's not to love?'

Hi MPMom !
Wow! Lots of S-caps and lots to luv. LOL
Mom and Dad Sauces look great.
The more I watch BEs (all eagles) the more I love 'em.
:-* :-* :-* :-*
You know I actually started watching eagles when I was growing up in The Mojave Desert. Every now and then I'd see a Golden Eagle in the sky. And, once, just once, one perched on our fence post. I was just walking in the back door from high school ( Junior ) and Mom called me to the 'picture' window in the dinning room and there he/she was. Had to have come down from the rocky spikes in The Chocolate Mtns. That's why our company community was called 'Eagle Mountain' since there were eagles / nests in the surrounding mountians.
-
That is awesome Phyliz, lucky you!
I also have loved eagles since I was little. I would love to see a golden ;D

That?s so cute how A48 sleeps. I jusrt read in the CHIL forum that A-62 from the 2016 Sauces hatch was spotted near some place known as Bitter Creek in Kern County. A photo is available on page 8 of today?s (Feb 11) Nest Watch. I did not take a capture because I was unsure if it was copyright protected and who owned the rights if it was. He looked really good.
-
Emy many thanks for the update. I'm sure there'd be on issue with a capture if you give them credit for the original. And, say what you just said.
But, it's what you're comfortable with.

Boinking started right away! And now #3 is pipping.
-
All this Rock 'em-Sock 'em Eaglets is a sympton of not getting fed enough. And it will only get more tedious when/if the third egg hatches.
The placenta are good food only as much as the parents feed it to the kids and hopefully we will see more feeding and less bonking going on soon.

Hi everyone.
Many thanks for the vids and Scaps Yankee/MpMom.
Sparky, I fear you are correct about the boinking.
and, like everyone else has said, I too am concerned for #3.
Some how, the joy has turned.

They don't stop :o I don't know how this is going to turn out. I have never seen fighting constantly like this before. I hope the new baby makes it with these 2 :-\

I agree, more feedings will be needed to save all 3 from themselves.
Been watching the live camera this morning and have noticed a very different reaction from the normal to an Eaglet being bonked. Usually the bonkee lays down and takes a time-out for a minute or so.
This bunch does not take a any time-out. They just keep on going with the aggression. Even #3 does not crash when getting inadvertently struck by a neighboring combatant.
Eat or fight

Yankee, you are right, they do not stop. Going to be interesting to see how it all plays out!!

Dual feeding of 3 combatants
https://youtu.be/aSlrdlISjpo
-
Eaglet #2 is looking very ragged, wounded and bloody, not handling the bonking well.
In contrast, #3 got fed while the other two fought, and is now napping well off to the side of the boxing ring.
-
I think all the blood on the eaglets is from Mom. The seal placentas they've been bringing in are just gross and bloody. She has it all over her breast feathers and it's gotten all over the babies. She needs to take a bath and Dad needs to quit bringing in the placentas and focus on fish.
-
I'll have to watch again now Yankee :(
I agree DekeCora, more fish needed!!

I'm not Irish...and this is late. But, sincere all the same.
What a raunchy day this has been. What a crapy week! >:(
Thanks for the Scaps, vids and insights MpMom, Yankee, DekeCora.
I was thinking the same DC that blood was from Mom's catch.
Maybe #3 should keep to the ring side and eat like an oinker, sleep and grow bigger/ stronger. Then it can do some boinking of it's own on the bully. ;D
All those chemicals may have played on eaglets tiny brains. Made them more agressive and self serving :-\
Time will tell as you said MpMom. Besides, Only God knows how this will turn out. And He's not telling right now. ???

Looked like a nice feeding. Seems that Dad Sauces kept the pace at chow. And sometimes got between the two warring eaglets when doling bits of lunch.

This Tuesday, March 15, 2016 photo, shows a bald eagle with one of it's chicks in their nest, captured by a robotic camera in Sauces Canyon on Santa Cruz Island, Calif. Two bald eagle chicks have hatched in a nest high in a tree in California's Channel Islands National Park. Park officials say the first egg hatched Saturday and the second bird poked its head out of its shell Monday in Sauces Canyon on Santa Cruz Island. Officials say it's the first successful hatch after three years of attempts for the parents. (explore.org via AP)

MpMom, okay. That was the eaglet I was thinking about.
My inclination would be to do the same. Just stay out of the way and try to survive.

Are those pin feathers coming in on #1?
Yes on the pin feathers! Growing fast.
Been watching them much of the day on my old screen and just saw #3 take a tumble sideways with feet grasping for nest, roll itself upright and shook it off. Tough little Eaglet!
Also watching N2B cam at Decorah, first hatch this morning. Hope all 3 eggs are viable there.

Thanks for Scap and vid you two.
All sleeping soundly than P arrives with fish. #2 wakes and is first to get chow.
Feeding away and then #3 slowly wakes and then #1 wakes and lies there.
The funny part is after a few moments of lieing there #3 realizes that there's chow.
Pops up and looks as if to say, " Fish! You're getting fish?! How come I'm not getting Fish?! I want fish. I'm gonna get me some fish!" ;D ;D ;D LOL

I just watched the banding videos and then I went to the streaming video and can anyone tell me why there are two bands? Red on the left and silver on right- at least that is what I clearly saw on one Eaglet the others were lying and this one was standing tall.
-
Silver is Federal, bronze is local/research. When bronze is on the left, it's thought to be female. Blood test results could change that, from what I understand.

Hi...
Many, many thanks to Yankee, MpMom and Sparky for the S caps and videos.
I especially enjoyed the banding vids/ screen caps.
Not the least, the extra info on banding Sparky
I didn't know about the color distinction on the bands. Good item to know.
MpMom the Sauces Trio have really grown. That #3 has come into it's own. LOL
I like to watch them self feed.
Can barely wait the the Wingercising and attempts at 'lift- off'. ;)
:-* :-* :-* Sauces Family.
-
I was able to peek in on the nest from the Sauces cam site.
The Trio, IMHO, are looking great. They've grown and almost fill the nest; are self feeding, sqwakking that will pierce your ears and preening.
I snipped this right after #2 backed to the nest edge and did a PS. Which prompted #1 to deliver a loud comment.
And, wingercising from #2
Anyway, I hope I identified them correctly.

Lisa, I think if I remember right, in 2017, every time an egg would crack she would lay another. I believe it was 8 that year. Very very sad :(
-
WOW, do they know what is making all her eggs break or crack?
-
They did test them in 2017, saying the shells were thin but as far as I know they didn't know or say why.
-
Thanks for the info! Very strange that keeps happening.

Everything ok so far at Sauces... prayers for lil one.

Sauces Bald Eagles Channel Islands ~ A-48 Lays Her Third Egg Tonight 2.11.19
https://youtu.be/-SaZvzdh08Y via lady hawk
After losing both of her eggs earlier today, A-48 lays her third egg of the 2019 season! Congratulations A-40 & A-48! This is a ray of hope and talons crossed that this egg will not break!

[attachment deleted by admin]

A tense week unraveled on the Sauces Bald Eagle Cam at Santa Cruz Island, where mom A-48 laid two eggs which promptly broke. Yesterday she laid a third egg, and we anticipate a nail-biting month until a hopeful hatch. Last season, this bald eagle couple saw three healthy eaglets, bouncing back from prior years when DDT contamination prevented them from producing strong eggshells.

'Our Little Punkin', indeed.

Thank you Lisa & Phyliz! This nest is a mess with food everywhere but sure helps for this little one to grow ;)
[attachment deleted by admin]

;D, I did notice the mess, but I didn't want to mention it. I figured they do that for a reason?
-
When the Ps get tired of the 'mess' they'll clean it up Bald Eagle fashion. ;)

Think the parents were expecting more mouths to feed. The little one is a good eater with a full pantree nearby.

Yep, you all are right ;D

Oh Nurts ! :(

I can't imagine why the cam isn't working yet!!!! >:( >:( >:(
-
I just checked here : https://explore.org/livecams/bald-eagles/channel-islands-national-park-sauces-bald-eagle (https://explore.org/livecams/bald-eagles/channel-islands-national-park-sauces-bald-eagle)
the note at the top of the cam screen says that it's ..."down due to a network outage. We are woking on fixing this ASAP. " So I guess, when their
network is up and running the cam will be back online. Meanwhile they're playing cam highlights. Which is nice if a person hasn't been able to watch on a
regular basis.
-
:o
-
Three eggs
-
Nice Emy ;D ;D
-
Hurrah ! The cam is back up and we have egglets !!

Great pic of Mom Sauces. Tks.
Sauces Family :-* :-* :-*
-
They have dug their hole to Taiwan, can't see anything ::)

LOL Mp! She's got it safely tucked in ;D
Morning Mp and Phyliz, have a good day :-*

Well. If Mom hasn't mucked up the works for us voyeurs. LOL
Tks for capture Mp.
Wishing Sauces all the best. :-* :-* :-*
-
;)
-
Hey!
Great photo of the relief change. And, of course 'the egglet'. :-* :-* :-*
-
Another with the egglet Phyliz ;D
-
That last view with the 'white debris' toward the far r. hand corner could almost pass for an
'egglet'.
Me thinks. :)
-
I agree Phyliz ;)
-
Thanks Mp for captures.
Mom/Dad let us have a peek-e-pooh. ;D
Little egglet... :-* :-* :-*
-
;)
-
Okay. That's a bird in her/his beak. A wing from a larger bird? Or whole bird?
-
Bird wing. I just laughed ;D
-
Gee Mp. That little mouse could be tempting fate. Better scamper down that tree little mouse for your hole.
Take care Sauces Family. :-* :-* :-*
-
;)
-
LOL. Playing with food. Maybe Mom's suffering from boardom?
Wonder if she's thinking..."C'm on. Hatch dagnabit!"
Thanks for captures.
-
She needs something to do ;D
-
I'm sure she does. Too bad eagle don't knit or crochet. ???
Agree. Mom Sauces does look droopy in the eyes.
:-* :-* :-*
-
That is funny Phyliz, I was thinking the same thing with knitting ;D ;D
-
Mp, it's such a good sight to see mom and egg. I'm sure you hold your breath every time you check in. :-*
-
I do Lani! We should find out this week-talons crossed.
-
Is it near hatch watch time?
-
Yep, around the 9th :o
-
Wow! The 9th...not that far away.
Ladies, as you know, this nest needs a blessing...a break!
-
They sure do need a break Phyliz!!
-
;)
-
Awwww. Look at Egglet there in his bed all by his lonesome. :-* :-* :-*
Yes. I've decided this will hatch as a male. ;D
I see 'the wing' is still in the nest. Saving for a 'snack' or just feeling
lazy for a while? :-\
Thanks for captures. Great as always.
Happy Caturday MpMom
-
Happy caturday Phyliz ;D
-
There's that wing... :D
Sauces family :-* :-* :-*
-
;)
-
Morning Mp, I'm relieved I can see an egg. I was worried when their live cam is just showing highlights.
-
Happy to see Egglet in his bed with an attentive Mom.
Sauces Family :-* :-* :-*
Rest easy and be safe Sauces.
-
I know what you mean Lani. I finally got to see it today for the 1st time :o
Hey Phyliz ;D
-
;)
-
Thanks for captures MpMom.
There's my little fella all nestled and safe with his Mama.
Sauces family :-* :-* :-*
-
Talons crossed for this beautiful family :-*
-
Mp, I didn't know they gave this pair names. Anyway, have you noticed
both eagles have been listening to the egg? It's a good sign if they are. ;D
-
Yes, they have names. Really off names!
Maybe the egg was hiding but I didn't get it in my pic :-\
-
Well...please don't keep us in the dark.
I can't get the site to work for me.
I'm sure Egglet is still there in the nest.
-
Here it is ;D ;D Don't play hide & seek with me mom & dad :-*
-
Egglet, little fella are you getting restless and squirming in your shell?
Be patient baby, once out in the world...it'll never be easy. But, on the other hand,
you'll have those massive wings to stretch out to soar thru the air. And do things
those of us who watch you in your world can only envy. :-*
Good Night Sauces Family :P :P :P

Good morning Sauces family!

;)
-
Good morning, Mp.
Well, looking at your capture of reply #1656 second attachement it does look like a tiny pip. As does reply #1657.
But, since i'm not as experienced . I 'm not sure if this isn't some piece of knarled grass or straw. :-\
The speculation of the season is part of the fun and excitement of it all. Eh? LOL
Thanks for you work.
Sauces Family :-* :-* :-*
-
Been watching alot & they never give us a good looksee of the egglet. Maybe tomorrow.

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.

Amazing how this struggleing nest is comming back!!
Nature is awesome.
Love t hese avians. :-* :-* :-*
Great captures Mp.
-
Yep Phyliz, nest came back with this little one :-*
-
I wonder when, or if, they'll send a vet to the nest to examine our fella to check on his health.
Actually, that's not a bad idea to do so given the nest's history . I know that the nest is monitored and all.
But, when the time is right, at banding, they'd check then I'm sure. So... :-\
-
I hope they band him. At one time Dr Sharpe told they they were't going to do tracking any more but they do band.
-
;)
-
C'mon baby boy...eat up, fill that crop of yours and grow big, very big so you can rule the California coast line!
Sleep well Sauces family. Be safe. :-* :-* :-*

I posted this yesterday in the Beak.
This news came out this week about DDT in drums just off the Southern California coast. It is probably one, if not the reason for the difficulties for the Sauces nest over the years. :'(

Thanks Weasel! Yeah Baz sent it to me & I also read it online news. Sad!!!
-
MpMom
thank you for the really great captures.
Gee this eagle , to my eyes is growing fast.
A good looking eagle.
I've been sharing them in Beakroom ever since an egglet.
-
He is an awesome eagle Phyliz ;D
-
Yes. He certainly is!
And, that has me begining to think about something
Sleep well Sauces family. Be safe. :-* :-* :-*

I suscribe to LiveScience daily . This was yesterday.
Massive DDT dumping ground found off the Los Angeles coast is bigger than anyone thought
By Mindy Weisberger - Senior Writer about 18 hours ago
A survey recently mapped over 27,000 barrels of industrial waste and DDT.

Barrel of DDT found off the coast of Santa Catalina Island in California. (Image credit: David Valentine, UC Santa Barbara/RV Jason)
The sea bottom near southern California has been hiding a very dirty secret: decades of discarded chemicals in thousands of barrels. And the toxic debris field is even bigger than anyone expected, containing at least 27,000 drums of DDT and industrial waste, scientists recently discovered.
High concentrations of DDT (dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane, an insecticide that was widely used for pest control during the 1940s and 1950s) were previously detected in ocean sediments between the Los Angeles coast and Catalina Island, in 2011 and 2013. At the time, scientists who searched the seafloor in the area identified 60 barrels (possibly containing DDT or other waste) and found DDT contamination in sediments, but the full extent of the area's contamination was unknown.
Now, a research expedition presents a clearer picture of the deep-sea dump site. Their findings reveal a stretch of ocean bottom studded with at least 27,000 industrial waste barrels — and possibly as many as 100,000, researchers with Scripps Institution of Oceanography at the University of California said in a statement.
From March 10 to March 24, a team of 31 experts onboard the Scripps research vehicle Sally Ride created high-resolution acoustic maps of the seafloor at the San Pedro Basin, covering 36,000 acres (146 square kilometers) from 12 miles (19 kilometers) off the coast of southern California to 8 miles (13 km) from Catalina Island. Two underwater autonomous vehicles (AUVs) named REMUS 6000 and Bluefin swam through depths up to 3,000 feet (900 meters) below sea level, using sonar to pinpoint the locations of the barrels.
These containers were quite small — less than 3 feet (1 m) tall — and those that were buried looked even smaller in the sonar scans, expedition member Sophia Merrifield, a Scripps oceanographer and data scientist, said at a virtual news conference on April 27. The researchers therefore had to develop algorithms that would automate the process for identifying and counting such tiny objects, Merrifield explained.
"We needed to be able to pump hundreds of gigs [gigabytes] through an algorithm that would detect these very small, very bright targets," she said.
Images of the 60 sunken barrels spotted in 2011 and 2013 helped the scientists calibrate their algorithms. The result categorized not only an object's location but also its size and brightness, "so that we can do further pattern analysis and classification of the types of targets," Merrifield said.
From the AUV scans and data analysis, the expedition scientists discovered that more than 90% of the survey area contained some debris, Eric Terrill, chief scientist of the expedition and director of the Marine Physical Laboratory at Scripps, said at the news conference. Researchers found 100,000 pieces of human-made debris and identified the subset that were likely barrels holding DDT and other types of industrial waste, Terrill said.

The seafloor survey covered 36,000 acres in the San Pedro Basin. The known dumpsite is roughly 12 miles offshore Palos Verdes, and eight miles from Santa Catalina Island. (Image credit: Scripps Institution of Oceanography at UC San Diego)
"Irreversible damage"
This accumulation of seafloor dumping didn't happen overnight. While Los Angeles today is mostly associated with Hollywood and moviemaking, oil and gas were once thriving industries in the area, and much of the waste from extraction and processing wound up in the ocean, Terrill said at the press event.
"The dumping of industrial rate waste in the ocean actually began in the '30s and continued all the way into the early '70s," Terrill said.
Companies also dumped byproduct waste from agricultural DDT manufacturing in the sea, and in 1985 the Los Angeles Water Quality Control Board released a troubling report describing "decades of systematic neglect" in official oversight of toxic waste disposal, "with the result being irreversible damage to the marine environment," the Los Angeles Times reported that year.

Our child has grown up eating on his own now.

Mp Mom, that is a real early morning snap of Dina. She looks lonely and so unaware of what lies ahead of her. :-* :-* :-*
-
Beautiful Phyliz. The eagle is at Fort Snelling where my dad & brother are 8)
I was surprised to get her so early. I wish she could fly at the same time the only girl at Two Harbors takes off. Someone to fly with. Both are so alone.
-
Who knows Mp? Maybe God will allow their paths to cross and bring them together.
We can always hope.
Yes I remember you mentioning that sometime ago in Beakroom.
I've always like that photo.

This cam has been on highlights forever!
Posted by Dr. Sharpe earlier today:
He put new equipment in last week & already failed. He won't be to Sauces to fix anything until Feb 15.

Such trouble!

Sure hope Dina is well...where ever she is.
Thanks Mp

Cam is back on.

Mp!
These are wonderful. Mom Sauces does know how to stretch. Got it down pat.
How awesome it would be if they had two egglets! Both health and perfect as eagles go!
Thanks
-
I hope all will go well. They are such good parents.
-
Indeed they are!
Thanks for everything here.

Phyl, heartbreaking in Ukraine
-
Yes it is heartbreaking in Ukraine. A world tragedy.
I so want a second egg for Sauces family. :-* :-*
Thanks MP for all your dedication.
-
;) Pretty sure no other egglets. Am happy we have 1 that hasn't broken ;D
-
;)
-
;)
-
So...still the one egglet?
Yes. So grateful we have the one that's strong and viable.
Thanks Mp
-
;)

;)
-
Thanks Mp

-
Gee. It is a messy nest. Do you think Mom or Dad Sauces will clean it up sometime?
Still wonder about Dina.
Thanks Mp
-
They always have a messy nest ;D I'm hoping Dina is flying well.
-
Me too.
-
;)
-
;)
-
Mrs. Sauces, you need a housekeeper! LOL :-*
Hope it keeps going well for them.
Dina :-*
Be safe Sauces!
-
They really do need to get a housekeeper Phyl ;D
-
Oh yeah!
It's disgusting. Looks like the decaying lare of a Basilisk. LOL
Still luv the Sauces family. :-* :-* :-*
-
;)
-
Awwww! Little egglet amongst all that mess.
:-* :-* :-*
Thanhks MP
-
It really is a mess ;D
-
;)
-
Are we looking at a pip?
Or #2 egglet
-
I don't think another egglet & they have no idea when our egglet was laid. The cam was off for quite a while when mama gave us the egglet.
-
;)
-
Let's hope we have a pip soon and a healthy eaglet soon to follow.
Thanks Mp for keeping the world posted.
-
Here's hoping Phyl ;D
-
Yes. Indeed!
Thanks Mp
-
;)
-
She looks very tired. :( :-*

And now she is wet Phyl :o

We have a 'pip' !
Hurrah... :-*

Many thanks Mp

Thanks.MP
Nest bowl looks really deep for some reason.
Anxious for hatch I am.
-
;)
-
;)
-
Huh?
Thanks Mp
-
Phyl, they are at day 50, no eaglet likely this year. :(
-
This is crushing news!
After the success with Dina...now this.
Havne't been to chat...what do they think is wrong? Bad egg/embryo?
:'( :(
-
Wasn't fertilized, so not viable. :(
-
Okay.
That's what I thought.
Too bad. :'(
So, will they try again?
Or is this it?
Thanks Mp
-
I believe this is it this year :(
-
It sure is. Heartbreaking in fact.
Mom and Dad Sauces don't give up! :-* :-* :-*
They need Dina.
-
;)
-
Mp...this is so sad. :'( :'( :'(
-
Very sad Phyl :(
-
:'( :'( :'(
Will they ever realize there's nothing living in there?
When they know this is pointless...will they mate again? Or is it over for this season?
Thanks Mp
-
Pretty sure the season is over. All of a sudden they will give up for the egglet. :(
-
;)
-
;)
-
This is so sad.
Poor little egglet :-* :-* :-*...no one's home. :'(
-
They still aren't letting go :(
-
;)
-
I was just looking at the live cam for this nest.
It looks so ghostly...difficult to make out if thats a starving parent sleeping w/head tucked under or a carcass of one
Are these birds gonna waste their lives away on this season's egg?
What are 'they' (humans) going to do ? If any thing.
Surely that egglet will decompose and the parents will have to clean it all up.
And, finally say 'Good-Bye'.
:( :( :'( :-*
-
I wish the egg would break, then they would move on.
-
Me too. :'( :'( :'(
Thanks for the photos.
-
;)
-
Thanks for captures. I hope so too.
For Mom and Dad Sauces sake.
-
;)
-
I hope they've let go for now.
And, return next season.
-
I did notice someone was egglet sitting off & on yesterday :(
-
Maybe it will take some time for them to realize the egg is no good.
Let's hope so.
Tks Mp.
Great S. caps as always.

Poor Jak just keeps hanging on and on!
Breaks my heart to see this.
He's been calling out to Audacity...wonder if she knew the egg wasn't viable and left.
Too bad the permits needed are available anymore...Dr. Sharpe and his staff could retrieve the egglet and maybe end this anguish for Jak
-
;)
-
Okay.
Is this Jak or Audacity?
I 've been remis in checking the cam feed for written updates.
Still dealing with this CoVid.
Thankful that I've kept Maggie safe, so far.
Thanks Mp for the update.
Wonder what our Dina has been up to all these months. Don't suppose she's been spotted?
Again, 'the powers that be' ought to have blinged and banded this one for cert!
-
;)
-
Wow! Been a very long time for Jack and Audacity.
Glad those two are back on the nest.
Thanks for photos Mp MOM.
J and A :-* :-* :-*

Yes. It sure is good to see Jack and Audacity.
Hopefully, eaglet/eaglets will be laid, hatched and fledge again
from this nest.

Jak and Audacity awake on their usual nightime perch.
After doing so well season before last. And. a disasterous last season...hoping and praying

In the first capture, at 1:54:55 Audacity is upended by the wind and clumsily tries to regain her footing, crushing the egg. From then on she is eating the destroyed egg at various times. In the second picture, you can clearly see her lift the crushed egg with her beak at 2:02:42.
-
I'm so very sorry; what a sad mishap.
-
It is sad Linda. She is eating now & hope she gives us another egglet.
-
434pm cst- Mama gave us an egglet ;)
-
Mp An egglet was meant to be---again.
I just snapped one of the new egglet that replaces the one that got crushed.
Posted in Beakroom.
Many thanks for the snaps of the happy event.
Here's to a wonderful season for Jak and Audacity.
SEDs Mr. and Mrs. Sauces and egglet, too! :-* :-* :-*
-
2nd egglet gone also :(
-
Mp well!
Do they know how this one happened?
I've not been to chat
Is it the shells are too fragile or Mom is clumsy?
So discouraging :'( :'( :'(
-
As in the past thinner shells. :(
-
Mp tend to agree w/you. I'm wondering, 'why' the other eggs laid two years ago were so strong shelled . Then 'suddenly' these last two seasons the shells were weak.
We have this great video catch from yesterday, posted on IWS Chat by Nighteagle007....wondering if Audacity accidentally poked a hole in the egg when snapping at a fly on the egg. Neither Nighteagle007 nor I are saying that this is what happened, but it made her wonder...and me too! It gives me more hope for egg #3. Shown several times in the video in SloMo and Super SloMo. Take a look and see what you think.
https://youtu.be/imHXiGfAxNI
-
That could be Phyl. I saw mom after a fly & that beak could have done it.
I don't understand the egg situation here. Some strong & some not so much. :-\
-
;)
-
Mp Tks for the snaps.
Not sure how to say this---I wonder if Audacity really want's 'kids'.
She had to have known that peck would break the egg. IMHO
This entire season at this nest is gonna be a mystery---very confounding.
-
I don't know what will happen. I know in the past she had been known for laying 7 or 8 eggs when one would break. Will be interesting.
-
We have an egglet as of 5 minutes ago.
Not looking good this year :( :( :( :(

Hi Mp !
We had rain storms and 55mph winds until between 6pm /9pm Friday.
No electricity from 9am Thursday until late Friday evening.
And, no cable or for that matter internet from 7Am Friday until just a few hours ago today, Sunday
I had over 250 pieces of electronic mail and still shifting through. Arghhhh!
Our biggest worry is our roof---11 shingles missing.
What a weird sight, Thursday AM to see those 55mph winds peel off rooftop shingles like skin off a banana!
Since we lost our internet connection I’ve been most concerned about :
1) Sue (Tsk). I ‘m so very sad that she’s been having the tough time she has. And, she still has a long road to recovery. But, encouraged that there is some improvement. And , I now read that she could be going home tomorrow. I sure hope this will happen!
I’m sure being home and just knowing how she’s missed and loved here will brighten her day. And the good cheer from all the ‘greetings will go a long way to helping her recovery.
Like y’all I have sent her card to her home address.
2) the nests that are coming to life with egglets and hatch-lings.
Many many thanks Lori and Clynn and all for the updates. Looking forward to reading them all.
Lisa, Bazi and BL, and Clynn's posts. Thank you for missing me and wondering how Jim, myself and Maggie have been.
Our roof needs your prayers. As does Jim for his cardo test this Tuesday . Jim did tell me that if the deductible is ‘too high’ he’s gonna cancel.
Both of us visit eye doc tomorrow for our annual checkups. She’s an amazing doc who’s worked under and shared the clinic of the world renowed eye surgeon, Dr. Ming Wang here in Nashville.
And, this Wednesday I get to visit the dentist for a cleaning and exam. Aren’t I lucky? LOL
Take care...

Sure hopin that he'll survive. So far so good.

Intruder??? On RW 18:48ish Audi started to make warning vocals, then Jak responded from close by, 18:49ish Audi went up to cam perch still vocalizing...Jak cam and took over egg duty...They continued to make warning calls and vocalizing...seemed a little intense 18:53-55ish...Audi was still at cam perch...it almost seemed like she was avoiding another birdy from how the cam was shaking..last time Audi and Jak squeed warnings were at 19:03ish... and 19:06ish when Audi took off from cam perch...
I RW to check when Jak arrived and got to observe all the drama....wish we had an OL cam, could've observed what was going on...

All in Chat and I know that #7 isn't viable...been too long. I've had that aching feeling for sometime and even said as much. My heart is so sad and heavy. Audacity and Jak are such good eagle parents.
When this pair will give up on #7, I'm not sure.

A blessing in disguise...the last egg broke maybe due to age and /or non-viability, sometime Friday. Again, from what I can
gather, Chat is confusing, he left the nest and Audi returned discovered the broken egg and devoured what she could and moved the broken pieces off to the side.
Sometimes Jak will be in the nest and other times he'll roost in their favorite tree with Audi.
They are wonderful bald eagle parents and so sad the've lost so many egglets/eaglets. But, they'll return and will have more eggs and eaglets.
Sleep well Sauces family. You're so very loved by all who know you.
