Berry College Eaglet Day 86 (Pesky Blue Jay), Nest Cam Round-up: Hays, Two Harbors, White Rock, Chickens, Peregrine Falcon, and Berry College Bluebird

Today is day 86 for the Berry College Bald Eagle.


She's eating here. I think it's nestovers.


She has the piece of food hanging from her beak.


Eating again.

She's done eating now and is using the back branch for feaking.


She did spend some time today perched on a branch.

But she spent a lot of time in the nest. She has her head tucked under her wing getting some sleep...

She is still picking at those bones.

She's a pretty girl!


A Blue Jay was harassing the eaglet today. In this s'cap, her head is swiveled all the way around so she can look above her. The Blue Jay kept coming swooping down and hitting the eaglet. Smaller birds will get raptors to go away by doing this. But she wasn't going to leave, so the Blue Jay kept harassing her.

She has been pounced on again and is watching her back.

I tried to get a s'cap with the Blue Jay in the picture. The closest I got was the reaction of the eaglet after another dive-bombing by the Blue Jay.
 
 You can see the Blue Jay perched on a branch above the and to the left of the nest and the eaglet is looking at it. The pesky little bird finally gave up and went away.

Look out below! My timing wasn't perfect and I took the s'cap a second before she pooped...

She found a sunny spot to lay in and is panting to keep cool.


Food drop! I'm happy to see her with real food after watching her pick at bones all day...


 The Hays triplets are looking so grown up!

 There is a favorite spot to stand at the Two Harbors nest...


 The two White Rock chicks are like frick and frack. Where you find one, you'll find the other.


I fist posted yesterday about the chicken cam that I found. I don't know how many chickens live in this yard. It looks like they've got a nice variety of chickens.




Today was the first day in a long time that I've found anyone home on the Peregrine Falcon Cam. The baby is no longer confined to the planter, so it's hit or miss.

They've cleaned out the Bluebird box.
