if you want to keep an eagle out of philadelphia, put up goal posts.

So is the Skagit river valley.

The eagles were trying hard to make it to The "Gathering of Eagles"...(warning, lotsa graphics!)

Then the species will survive. The same thing happened back in the 80's with the Peregrine Falcon in New York City

There have been several pairs of falcons nesting on ledges of highrises in downtown Cleveland also, for many years now. Reminiscent of Rush's reference to spotted owls' nest sighted in a broken K-Mart sign at a shopping strip somewhere.

"Go here, Eagle Cam to see live cam feed."

My cousin, from Virginia, told me about the eagle cam on March 21st. That day I read your post since I was looking for a thread on FR to tell someone about it. I'm so glad you did.

Isn't it wonderful to watch them? The chicks sure are growing, and I love when both of the adults feed them. Yesterday I saw the male fly into the nest with a fish in his talon.

I think they're amazing to watch. I check in on them about 20 times a day...my wife says I sould give them a little privacy! I can't believe how quickly the chicks are growing...but they should grow fast, they spend 20 hours a day eating!

Today for the first time that I've noticed, both adults are gone from the sest and it's just the chicks.
