Tesoro, Norfolk and Bartons Cove

News and 2 Great Slide shows from Norfolk Note the comment about the infrared Night cam that is also coming

Thanks to MeMa Jo from NCTC for sharing this info on Bartons Cove

Hi Jo,
Thank you for your interest in the eagle cam. This is the time of year when the state allows us access to the island. We recently went out to the eagle island to measure the batteries for replacement, straighten and reorient the solar panel, and repair and rehang wiring. The tree that holds the nest is dead and quite unstable, so we are unable to climb the tree to access the camera. We are also working on site accessing issues. Last year there were several times when the camera was functioning but viewers were unable to see the birds due to limited band width issues.
We plan to have the camera up by the time the eagles return to the nesting area around the end of the month.
Cheers Bill

We have another Great Eagle Season just ahead of us. The news here is the result of many folks working very hard to get those special pictures and that up to the minute LOL info on what is happening around the eagle cams.

I appreciate anytime any of you share some of that info or photos with me. It makes this BLOG much more enjoyable, and my job all the easier.

This work is time consuming and yet a Labor of Love...the more info that arrives in my email, the more time I have to watch the cam and get some of those neat captures to share with all of you.

What a gorgeous afternoon at Tesoro Cam

I could not pull myself away, and had to remind myself to keep breathing. I hope you enjoy what I surely wanted all of you to see.

West End Egg Auction

OK Once again I desire to be a Millionaire, but alas I am not. I know some of you who read this BLOG watched these eggs get placed in the West End nest last year. If you would love a truly unique eagle item for your own personal display and also want to help support the Fostering Project out of DR Sharpe's work of the coast of California, then you could truly be interested.

Here is more info you will need if you would like to participate in this auction.

The two fake eggs that were placed in the West End nest in 2007 are now up for auction ( bidding to end on November 21 ). Each egg comes with a Certificate of Authenticity and a display stand. The egg can be autographed if you prefer. To make a bid, simply e-mail Dr. Peter Sharpe at sharpe@iws.org and let me know your bid and whether it is for Egg 1 or Egg 2. I will update the current bid daily (bidders will remain anonymous to the forum) for each egg and the two highest bids will receive the eggs. The winning bid will be tax-deductible, minus the purchase price of the egg ($26). Minimum starting bid will be $35.00.

You can follow the bidding info here.
