Luckily, Harriet & M returned to the area and got to work in September and the nest was in great shape for the laying of their two eggs in November.(Egg #1 - November 22, PM/ Egg# 2 - November 25th, PM).2016 - 2017 Season marked the second season Harriet and her new mate M15 mated as a pair.The season started with much anticipation if the eagles would return as the nest had been completely lost after the end of the last season.The first egg (E5) was laid November 19 and hatched (37 days) Dec. The 2nd egg (E6) was laid November 22 and hatched (35 days) Dec. (CROW) for evaluation after showing signs of disorientation and injury.After 97 days of care to recover from a broken left clavicle and a broken left coracoid bone, Ozzie was released back into the wild near the nest.
On May 13th, volunteers found E8 alive in a nearby neighborhood with a broken leg.E8 was again admitted to CROW for rehabilitation and recovery.After nearly 3 months at CROW, E8 was released back into the wild on August 18th.The glow you are seeing on the camera is invisible to the naked eye.The eagles do not see any light and remain undisturbed.
