:nod We are seeing an eagle perched on a utility pole by the grove of trees where the alternate nest has been spotted. Hopefully the last s'cap (along with the 3 on Page 27) will orient viewers as to where Alan Jenkins aka EagleGuy has the camera pointed. :thumbsup

One of the eagles brought a fish to the nest and braving the bitter cold and the winds, ate it... but it left quite a bit of the fish!

You can see his feathers blowing in the second s'cap, and in the first you see the fish! :thumbsup

(There were reports that an eagle was in the nest yesterday afternoon moving sticks around :thumbsup )

This morning the leftover fish was still on the nest, very frozen since Oklahoma temperatures dipped into the single digits last night :ecsad Note: only the belly of the fish appears to have been eaten.

A bit later both eagles were spotted in the Family tree :thumbsup

While the male looked on, the female ate the fish. (It was assumed to be the female eating since it's the job of the male to bring the female food; and he rarely eats at the nest, according to Alan Jenkins).

Then everyone's camera's froze (not like it's not enough that we are frozen :eclol ), and here is what the remains looked like at that point.

Great s'cap of the nest, Debs!!! :thumbsup Yes, it could use a little greenery and soft materials! :nod

Here is the latest posting on the Sutton Center Bald Eagle Nest site:

6 January 2010: Two of our staff visited the nest site and several miles around it yesterday to evaluate the situation. They observed 15 eagles (7 of which were adults), and located four nests, although none had signs of eagle activity. The pair of adults we believe nests on the tower each year flew in and perched on the crossbar around dusk. This pair is traditionally one of the later nesting pairs in the state, often not laying until early February.

soph :wave , thank you!! I was very lucky in my timing as I'm not watching them all the time! :ecnono To tell you the truth, I wasn't sure whether s'caps of their private moments were allowed on the Forum!! :eclol

In total, they stayed about 35 to 40 minutes, the male flying off first followed shortly by the female :ecsmile

Thanks Panda for the awesome photos! My timing my be totally off as each time I find the time to look, the nest is empty! And, when I get back to look again, darkness has set in! Thanks for catching the moments I can't!! :D

Wonderful pictures - thank you! :D I must say it doesn't look as if they're planning to use this nest - that looks a lot more like a "keep out" sign on a backup nest than a nice fuzzy nest bowl for the eggs they usually lay in early February. I do hope they manage to get a cam on the new nest - I really enjoyed watching this pair!

As you may have heard, we're planning to move from this forum to a new one - (see this post for details and the next one for how to register) - and we'll probably be locking this thread in the next few days to make sure we get the nesting season on the new forum.

If you have any questions, please let me, jkr or PEB know.

As part of our move to the new forum (see this post for details and the next one for how to register), I'm now locking this thread.

Please join us on the new forum to see what this year has in store for this pair:
