Berry College Fledgling Day 94 (Short Video), Nest Cam Round-up: Hays, White Rock, Berry College Bluebird, Rachel Carson's Birthday

The fledgling was back in the Berry College Bald Eagle nest today. And the Blue Jay was back to harassing her -- dive-bombing her over and over again. Each of these s'caps is from a different attack. What a cheeky little bird! The Eaglet was pretty oblivious... She was busy digging in the nest grasses, only looking up a couple of times.






This was actually a touch-and-go off of the eaglet. She looked up after this one...

Here's a couple of other s'caps from today -- these include her pretty face!


Here's a link to a video of the eaglet today. She does one of those big stretches that I love and then retrieved a piece of nestovers from over the side of the nest. It looked like a bone to me, but she was trying to eat it...

It's a wet evening at the Hays nest. Nobody looks happy tonight.

The White Rock nest was at the other end of the spectrum today, with all three enjoying the pretty view.

I got a s'cap of the poop flying. That's some high pressure there!

Big crops -- well fed babies here.

I caught the Berry College Bluebird fit testing the new nest bowl. She was turning this way and that, making sure it was right from all angles.


Today is Rachel Carson's birthday! The environmentalist that authored 'Silent Spring' was instrumental in the conservation of Bald Eagles and other birds. There's a nice article in the Washington Post about her.
