3-3-2023 Happy 1st Birthday To Spirit!

Spirit (Jackie and Shadow’s chick from last season) hatched on this day last year.
Since the camera is still down due to the snow, here is a video tribute to Spirit to celebrate her 1st birthday. For those new to the camera, you can watch a chick grow up; for those who watched it, you can enjoy reminiscing.
Spirit is not tagged, so we have no way of knowing where she might be. We will celebrate her being out there somewhere, flying free in all her feistiness!
Regarding our cameras being down, our valley received at least 9 feet of snow over the past week. That snow has likely covered at least part of the solar panels that generate the electricity to run the equipment and cameras. With the sun out, the snow is melting and everything should come back online as soon as the panels have had enough sun to recharge the batteries.
Since the equipment is out in the forest with no roads to it and this level of snow, we cannot just go out and brush the snow off the panels.
So, everyone please think ‘sunshine.’ We hope to have the cameras back up soon!
Thank you for your understanding.
Sandy

Update: The cameras are back up. Thank you to the beautiful sunshine for recharging the batteries through the solar panels. The panels still have a bit of snow on them but it should melt off quickly today.

Sublime. Achingly beautiful compilation, perfect soundtrack. I still cannot believe we get to peep on their amazing little lives up close from beginning to . . beginning.

Trying to catch up on J&S history since I only became _fully_ invested this season. The compassionate sensitive kind-hearted community that has formed around this precious eagle fam represent the best of humanity. My kind of folks. 🙌
