Farewell Delta O.W.L. Bald Eagles 2011

The time has come to say goodbye to these eagles. Madam laid two eggs in 2009, but they failed to hatch (not uncommon for a young pair).

This nest was completely destroyed by wind in early 2010.
In September, David Hancock cleaned and refurbished the cameras and shored up the nest with reinforcing. Two more eggs were laid in Spring, 2011, but they, too, did not hatch. After the eagles stopped incubating the eggs, the cams were turned off.

We hope these loyal and perservering eagle pair will be successful in 2012.
