Probably was..
There has been quite a turnover at the Johnson City nest in the past 4-5 years. At least two different females and two different males as well. Hard to believe there has been that much mortality. Still, these are living creatures whose lives are intertwined with other living things. Still seems "odd" there would be that many "lost" eagle adults in that period of time...
Fingers crossed for this pair.

There was a couple I watched for a good while that I was really attached to. (Shima and Noshi) They were great parents. About the time the covid shutdowns started...the male (Noshi) suddenly was missing. with cicks in the nest Search parties were organized, and as I was freshly downsized by covid job cuts I almost went over to help look. Then a younger male started hanging around giving a clue as to what had happened. I still miss that couple.
These great creatures fight for survival every day.

Some years back I was a pretty avid canoe paddler - camper. Spent a lot of time on the water around NC looking for quiet places to sit and rest for awhile, make some coffee and 'easy' food then tuck in to get an early start in the morning. I started to use Lake Jordan (re: Jordan Lake) because there was a very quiet, calm section where no power craft of any sort were permitted. I quickly found out why. Bald Eagles everywhere. Lots of nesting in that area. Would be a prime spot to set up multiple nesting stations with cameras. Don't know why it hasn't been done.. Last I heard there was only one camera up there.
We need MORE eagles on camera.!!

Intruder late this afternoon. (another eagle...think a young one it seems). Dad was in the nest...was cool to see how he sheltered and protected the babies. Was very vocal. When Mom came back the intruder made a quick exit.
Love the time stamps they provide...lets you go back and see interesting stuff.

Have you looked in on the JC eagles lately Hobs? I think they have doubled in size in the past week. Parents are doing a great job!

Yeah, i glance in at least once a day, usually more. Definitely looking stronger (and bigger). It's neat to see them doing well. The dangerous time is getting closer -- when they start getting more active and taking more chances. Falling out of the nest is a real "thing". I keep hoping they both survive and live long lives and start their own families. Fingers crossed.!!

Love the time stamps...
Eaglets are getting BIG.!! #2 looks to have caught up with #1.!! I think Mom or Dad needs to clean out that nest. Too many old, nasty fish parts and guts laying around.!! Phew...stinky.!! Especially now that it's getting warmer.!!

Apparently Boone has decided to do some nest 'improvements'. Not sure Jolene agrees. Boone brings back some new sticks then looks to Jolene as if to ask "Did I do good.??"
It's fun(ny) to watch those two together..
RE: Eagle cam - Ladypanther - 03-15-2024
Agree Hobs...it is fun. I am kind of addicted.
It seems these days that the eaglettes are eating all the time. Parents are good providers. Love watching Boone trying to spruce things up.

GOODNESS GRACIOUS..!!!
Those 'little' guys are getting BIG..!! Just the other day they were the size of a baseball.!!
No more "FUZZY-WUZZIES". Those little balls of fur are growing real bird feathers.!! Big hooked beaks. They're as big as a small chicken. And SO talkative.!!
