Berry College Eaglet Day 37, Bald Eagle Camellia's Location, Bald Eagle HK, Return Of The Lady Of The Loch

Berry College Eaglet is 37 days old today. We finally get to see that big stretch from the side, wings are already on the way back down in this s'cap:

Learning how to be an eagle -- watching Mom pluck feathers.

 Being fed by Mom:

That's a big bite!

And that's a big crop!

 

Bald Eagle Camellia has checked in. See if he's in your neighborhood!

 

We have two new reports on Bald Eagle HK. In the first post, dated 3/27, Jim got some great pictures of HK and the banded female. I especially like the first two and the last one. In the second post, dated 3/28, Jim got some action shots of HK and provided some amusing commentary.

 

Much excitement in the Osprey world today. The female of a nesting pair in Scotland is thought to be the oldest breeding raptor in the world. She is 29 years old, has laid 70 eggs and reared 50 chicks. She returned to her nest today after wintering in Africa. (And had to chase off a female trying to take her place.) "Lady" and her mate "Laddie" have already been seen mating today. (Laddie became her mate in 2012 and is her 4th breeding partner in 23 years.) You can keep up with this pair by following The Loch Of The Lowes Blog or by watching them on camera.
