Camellia's location, AEF Hack Towers and Eagle Cam, Bald Eagle Windex, Aberdeen Proving Ground Bald Eagle Survey, Shetzers Photography

Camellia checked in around midnight last night. He is hanging out near the Back Bay National Wildlife Refuge:

I was watching the AEF nest cams on Friday. One of their cameras was directed toward their hack towers. This shot gives some perspective on the towers. The one with the open door allows three of the older youngsters a way to come outside and hang out --  the hack tower version of branching:

And one of them did come outside for a bit and did some wingercizing:

Then it went back inside. At this point they are free to fledge, just like a Bald Eagle being raised in the wild:

And I got some great shots of the AEF babies. Here they are, just 1 day old at feeding time:

And we got a really nice close-up of them, while they look up Mom hoping for more food:

 I found an interesting story about a Bald Eagle named Windex who last made headlines in 1995.

They have completed a survey of Bald Eagles at the Aberdeen Proving Ground in Maryland.

This looks like a neat site to explore: Shetzers Photography. Bald Eagles, Hummingbirds, and Grizzly Bears! There are some interesting photography tours/workshops being offered.
