Peter: Is there anyway to convince them they pulled the plug on the cam too soon??? I feel we've been cheated out of seeing this event to the end. I sure hope your crew at least continues to give us a daily update. Anyway they could post it the same time every day so we can all meet here then to view and talk about it together?

I'm not sure if we have any influence on putting the camera back on-line, as the Ventura County Office of Education has donated much of the equipment and bandwidth necessary to bring the images to you and it is probably a financial reason for turning it off for the season.

I don't think we can specify a time each night to put on an update. Different people work different shifts and at different points on the island. If they leave the nest site at 7:30 pm, they can't make it back to a computer until about 9 pm. As soon as we determine that things are going well with A-49 we will not be able to go there daily because we have to concentrate on the other 14 young eagles released this season and the 30+ older eagles that we are monitoring, usually with only two people on the job. All I can say is that we'll do what we can to keep the updates coming.

Thanks for responding, Peter....I understand. Well the good people in Ventura have given us a reprieve and at least the cam will be there until the end of the week. I think most of us just want to see him return at least once so we can actually see him in flight. I think then we'll all be ok. Thanks for your excellent work!

Peter, your crew will have their hands full with all these eagles, yet what better expression of a successful restoration program.

You've brought one eaglet into our hearts and he will remain there forever. I look forward to the next eaglet!

I'll follow #49 on the IWS tracking page. I've already checked out K-39, I believe it is. As everybody else, I'm really going to miss A-49.
