Camellia and NX locations, Harrison Bay cam, Alcoa cam, Fort St Vrain cam, SW FL cam, Two Harbors cam, dog howling, Lake Ontario eagles, pics

New location for Camellia! He's staying local for the time being. NX checked in on the 24th. She is still in the same general area as her release.

I got some pictures today of various eagle cam nests:

Harrison Bay, feeding time. These two hatched on 3/19 and 3/21. Look at all those fish -- these two are great providers:

Alcoa, feeding time. These two hatched on 3/16 and 3/18. Both parents were there for feeding. I watched for about 10 minutes. The male was trying to feed but the female insisted on taking the morsel from the male and feeding the babies herself. They passed a tiny piece of food back and forth several time. It took about 5 minutes for the male to finally start passing her the pieces to feed to the babies... Look at the crop on that baby! Very well fed.


The Fort St Vrain eagles are still incubating 3 eggs:


The SW FL eaglets were home today. One was lounging and the other was eating. These two hatched 1/1 and 1/3 and they both fledged yesterday!


The Two Harbors nest had a hatch yesterday. K82 is the female. (K81 is the male...) Feeding time:

And I couldn't resist grabbing this screen capture of fluffy eagle butt:

Eaglets can't thermoregulate until they are a couple of weeks old. So they continue to be incubated. I love it when the babies poke their heads out. So curious already!

I found this video today of a dog howling at a siren. Too funny. When I was a kid, we had a Basset Hound in the neighborhood that would howl at the noon whistle every day. So this is a video of a dog howling at a siren. Then, in the comments, there are two video responses of people's dogs howling at this video. Too funny! I played them all for my dogs and got nothing... Oh well. Still a good video if you enjoy dogs howling!

Bald Eagles on Lake Ontario have successfully hatched two chicks -- the first in decades!

Check out this incredible picture of a Bald Eagle chasing a Great Blue Heron! Run, Forest! Run!

And check out these Bald Eagle pics! Very nice!
