Nest Cam Round-up: Hays, Two Harbors, White Rock, Berry College Bluebird, Africam Black Eagle, White-bellied Sea Eagle, Dyfi Osprey, Bald Eagle Camellia and Bald Eagle Grace Check In

Once again, I've looked in on the Hays nest a couple of times today and found it empty. Here's a link to a video taken from the ground of the fledglings in flight. It's a little bouncy. It's not easy taking video of birds flying. It takes some practice... This footage represents a lot of time spent at the nest. I know from experience that it's not uncommon to spend all day at a nest and get nothing. Check it out.

I checked the Two Harbors nest just now before posting and found K43 laying in the nest.

The White Rock nest has one beautiful day after another!

There's another live feed at the White Rock nest tonight. With Christian Sasse's equipment. I don't hear anyone talking though -- so I don't think that he's there... The web page says that he's got a new set-up. It looks like he's got cameras set up and they are rotating through 3 scenes. This is scene 1, seems a little washed out to me... But that could be due to changing light after the equipment was set up... The new verbiage at the bottom is part of the stream...

Scene 2 is a closer view of the same angle. It's washed out too...

This is the third scene in the rotation.
 
All four of the Berry College Bluebirds were still in the nest box today. They look like regular birds now. I expect they will be gone any day now...






Perpetually hungry.

Wing stretch coming in from the top.

I've got my eye on you!

Big wing stretch.


This is how you wingercize in a small box. You just have to go for it! I like how one bird is peeking out from under the flapping wing in the bottom right hand corner. And if you look close, you can see another beak in the center bottom. They are really packed in!

You can see some of all four babies in this s'cap.

I didn't get to see the Africam Black Eagle chick today.

The White-bellied Sea Eagle cam is a PTZ (pan tilt zoom) cam. When I checked in today, the cam was on one of the adults. Different s'caps trying to get different head angles not obscured by leaves.



When I checked in this morning, the Montgomeryshire Wildlife Trust's Dyfi Osprey Project nest babies were... laying low. One of these days, I'm going to find them sitting up! One adult in the nest and one on the perch.

Bald Eagles Grace and Camellia have both checked in (yesterday). I think Reese is away right now, so here's their locations from yesterday. They are both on the same map! I've got the tracks turned on for Grace so you can see her adventures since fledging. (It's no good to turn on Camellia's tracks since he has scribbled over the same areas so many times!)
