Not sure where Jasper has been. He was last seen Tuesday, June 6th, in the afternoon with a fish at the nest. During June 6th, Jasper was not seen until late afternoon. This season has been different than the previous years, with Bea frequently leaving the nest flying about the area, bringing in more sticks and moss. Past seasons she has always stayed on the nest, never leaving her chicks.

Yesterday we did not see Jasper all day and Bea often left the nest and eventually brought in a small fish for her sole chick and herself. We're hoping Jasper has just been off sight of the camera and unsuccessful hunting. Bea will have a difficult time caring for the chick if she also has to find food while leaving the chick unattended. There are often crows in the area and on the tower's communication equipment. The crows may have played a part in the first chick's death.
