The Forum Has Moved!

Here is the chart, and I'm thinking maybe a 2 1/2 year or 3 year old coming back for a visit? My guess would be a female judging by the sheer size of it, and the depth of the beak? See what you think...

Nice pics and nice reminder from the plummage chart. Hope you had fun and stayed cool.

Cool as a cucumber!
Here is one of the eaglet we saw, if you can make it out?!?

eaglewoman...Those pictures of the immature/sub adult are something!! Looks to be 2 1/2 to 3 yrs old. We almost never see pictures of eagles that age. Way to go!!

Yea!!! Maybe there is a reunion planned afterall. LOL After comparing the color of the beak and the white on its' head, it definitely looks like a 2/12 to 3 year old. Which would mean one of the twins?? Who would it be? Conehead or Freedom(was that other ones' name?) Welcome home, birdie

Hi there! Haven't been able to get down there much this past week, we have company in town and we have been hanging out at the lakes keeping cool since it is over 100 degrees here!!!
I was finally able to upload one of my videos of Patriot & Liberty from July 6th with the majestic couple sitting in the "Family Tree".

Patriot and Liberty for another wonderful year of eagle watching...

We were so worried for you back in October when we realized that there was an "intruder female" who came back to the nest with Patriot, instead of your lifelong mate, Liberty. But, a few weeks later, our fears subsided as the intruder left the area, Liberty returned, and all was back to normal as we watched the two of you diligently begin your yearly nestorations and your elegant pair bonding rituals. In February, you amazed us again with the laying of 3 eggs, and we admired your perserverence and dedication as you kept each one of those eggs warm and safe through some very cold, rainy, and windy conditions. Then in March, we watched anxiously as your 3 eaglets, Peace, Shasta, and Justice came bounding into the world. The three of them kept us glued to the eaglecam as we eagerly watched their every move from hatching to fledging. We were both amused and awed by their rapid growth and development, as we watched them change from little gray, fuzzy bobbleheaded eaglets to large, feathered, flapping 6-foot wingspanned fledglings in 12 short weeks! In June, your loyal eagle fans gathered together as one to share our love for you, and to catch a glimpse of your eaglets as they began branching, and eventually took their leap of faith and ventured out beyond the nest into the world on their own. We hope to see you again, fishing, flying, and enjoying life along the beautiful, cool Sacramento River these next few months. Hopfefully, we will also see Peace, Shasta, and Justice, who have much to learn, but even more to enjoy, about life as an eagle. And, as always, we look forward to seeing you again in October for another enjoyable, educational, and always exciting year of eagle watching...
With love, respect, and constant admiration,
Eaglewoman
