Subject: RE: BS: Eagle Nest and Hatching
Jeri-

Watching the eagles at night via the infrared cam does strike me as an "invasion of privacy" but eagles are eagles. However, while most of us discuss what eagles do with human motivations, the eagles are largely oblivious of the watching. Every one in a while an eagle will make a sort of statement, back up towards the cam and do what's described by observers as a "poop shot" all over the lens.

Some dramatic scenes have been observed at eagle nests at night, including night attacks by large owls. No one thought before that an owl would be reckless enough to attack an eagle nest but now we have the evidence.

Cheerily,
Charley Noble
