Looks like we got two lil' ones and they've been named "Frosty and Windy"... Appropriate as they just went through a hellacious(sp) storm down that way... :o

I tried Monday on a fast connection and it was off line too. Must have been windy or something.  ;)

This can't be good. She hasn't been on the nest for a couple hours??

Edit: She got back a minute after the post. She ain't sitting down on the little ones and we can't see them.

Sad news folks looks like the chicks didn't make it through the storm. :'(

Storm Damage and the Future
Yesterday I was on site at the nest; the landscape looked as though a tornado had torn through. There were trees uprooted, massive limbs from the nest tree snapped off, and splintered trees everywhere. It is fortunate that this important nesting site survived the storm.

While on the site, I checked in periodically and did not see any chicks or feedings, and the nest was empty for most of the day. Last night and this morning I reviewed your observations and they confirmed that the birds had been absent from the nest both during the day and the night. This evidence indicates that the eaglets likely didn't survive the storm.

This storm came at the most vulnerable time for the chick(s), during there first week of life. At this age they are very susceptible to exposure and need to be constantly fed small meals. The adults protected the chicks as well as they could in the hurricane force winds and driving rain, but the weather likely made if difficult for them to hunt, and the wind and rain worked its way under the adults sitting on the nest.

What is next? We will have to wait and see, and I will depend upon your observations. I would not expect the birds to renest, but these bird have certainly surprised us in the past.

I am off to a meeting for most of the day, but will write more later.

That's unfortunate.  :( Maybe they will have another family since it's still only April. I know ravens nest early like this also and probably crows. I have not seen any Osprey yet, but I'll keep an eye on the nesting sites along the river.

Looks like they might try to have another family. They are fixin the nest and also defending the nest from another Eagle trying to take it. They say we will know by May 6th.
