Hi All,
I hope that you now find that the images are uploading in a timely manner. Very sorry for the inconvenience and delay on the fix but I was unable to solve the issue until today.
Many thanks for all your posts and I hope that this activity persists as it is a good sign of the Eagles loyalty to this nest site.
All the Best,

Eagle pair continues to visit.
Well, this fine November day has produced a nice long visit to the nest by two adult eagles. They entered they nest bowl and then perched above the nest for some time. In fact, they are still present at the nest as I write this. Just wanted to post this photo and give a quick update! Have a great day!
We also captured this phot of an elegant looking eagle.
All the Best,

Morning Eagles.
Spotting eagles first thing in the morning is a good way to start the day! The birds have continued to use the nest for feeding. Has anyone been able to identify any of the prey items? Also notable is the immature eagle perching at the nest.
Please be in touch with descriptions or questions about your eaglecam observations.
Until next time,

Two eagles visit...
Hi All,
It is wonderful to see the eagles using this nest for foraging not to mention the time they are starting to put in by adding sticks and adding to the nest structure. Lets hope this continues. Many folks are enjoying keeping up to date by visiting us at where many photos and even some videos are posted.
Wish you all the best and keep in touch.

Immature Eagle Visit!
Hi All, as some of you may be aware we had an immature eagle visit the nest site today and devour a prey item. I can only guess at what the eagle was eating but it appeared to be a hearty feast. It is possible that this is one of the eagles that fledged from this nest earlier this year. Unfortunately, there is no way of knowing for certain. Below are a few more photos for you to relive this fascinating event. As you can see it was a beautiful day in Maine!
As usual, please keep in touch and enjoy BRIeaglecam2!
All the Best,

Fall is upon us.
Hi All,
I am sure that some of you are happy to see the upper image loading. Sorry for the delay on this but we had some computer issues that we have at least solved for the time being.
We are very happy to have witnessed that success of these two eagles this year and hope for another successful season next year. Unfortunately the live feed on Eaglecam2 is unlikely to work until we are able to get a hardwired internet line to the site. The good news is that we can continue to monitor this nest with our multiple photo uploads.
One thing to look for over the coming weeks is an increase in 'nestorations'. There is often a pulse of breeding type activity at this time of year for some eagles that remain on territory. Eagles are seen in the area of this site year-round. This nest tending activity is a good predictor of future nesting efforts so cross your fingers!
Have a great day!

Fledging vs. Branching
Hi All,
I've gotten a series of questions regarding the terms branching or fledging. Branching refers to the hopping about and jumping from branch to branch around the nest. Fledging refers to the birds first flight and generally results in the bird landing in a different tree or on the ground. At this point I have observed one of the birds launching into its first flight but have not yet confirmed the other bird. This observation is perfectly in line with our expectations as these birds are now almost 12 weeks old.
The immature eagles will remain in the area and in and near the nest throughout the next two months or so while the parents continue to feed them. Many thanks for all of you comments. Let's hope that the birds continue to fare well!
