Libby Dam eagles have successful nesting season
Eagle Cam follows the event
July 20, 2007
This is a big "thanks" to everyone who has been with us for the 2007 nesting season. For all the behind the scenes people "great job", and of course all you Eagle viewers thanks for the contributions in making our site such a success. We have heard from eagle watchers all over the country, and for that matter other parts of the world. It has been a wonderful process to watch from the beginning when the adults started the nesting process (March 15, 2007), to egg laying (March 26, 2007), to hatching (April 30, 2007) and finally fledging (July 13,2007). The down side of fledging is we will not see much activity at the nest now that they have experienced the freedom of flight. We wish them the best of luck in their new found freedom. The story behind them is very remarkable to say the least, since the species was near extinction. This is truly a banner year for our nest and Eagles in general. Both eagles survived the nesting process and the species has recovered from near extinction to being de-listed from the endangered species list. Let's hope we continue to have the success we have seen in the past carried on to the future. Hope to hear from all you Eagle watchers next year, until then!! Mark
