Mom says I need to update my blog more
I always do what my mother tells me.
The Eagles have landed! Oh my! In a mega thunderstorm on Sunday, the tree with the Barton Cove Eagles' nest blew over! The camera is still functioning though, it just has a new view.
Here is the statement from the web cam people:
"July 28, 2008 - Update
On Sunday July 27th just before 2:00 PM, the tree that held the Barton Cove Eagle nest blew over during a passing storm. We have contacted the Massachusetts Division of Fisheries and Wildlife office. We will post any new information when it is available."
The previous update suggests that the juvenile eagle dude was old enough to leave the nest from time to time, so hopefully, he's found a way to get by with help from mommy and daddy. Everybody root for the little guy!
"July 15, 2008 - Update
During the first week of July, the juvenile took its first real flight. The juvenile will remain around the nest area for the next four or five weeks. During this time the parents will still provide food. The juvenile will develop its hunting skills during this period and through out the remainder of the summer. As the juvenile’s hunting skills improve, and becomes more successful hunting, the parents will provide less and less food. In about six to nine weeks after the juvenile develops some hunting skills, it will leave the nesting area and will set out on its own."
