Nest Cam Round-up: White Rock, Africam Black Eagle, Dyfi osprey, and White-bellied Sea Eagle, and Bald Eagles Camellia and Grace Checked In

Once again today, nobody was home at the White Rock nest. Here's one of Christian Sasse's pictures of this nest, posted here with his permission. There are several things about this picture that I love: The way the feathers on the end of the wings curl up, the sibling watching with its head cocked to the side, the fistfuls of nest material, the look of concentration. The alulae are also visible. Pretty neat picture!

There are a lot more black feathers on the Africam Black Eagle chick. I think this chick is going to transform pretty quickly.


The Montgomeryshire Wildlife Trust's Dyfi Osprey Project adults stay close while their chicks are so little. I'm curious to see what happens when the chicks are bigger... I like how they are arranged in the nest here -- it reminds me of Charlie's Angels a little bit.

I had good timing earlier and got to see the White-bellied Sea Eagle eggs.


Bald Eagle Camellia checked in.

Bald Eagle Grace checked in. She has left her natal area. It's been 39 days since she fledged. Click on the map at the link to enlarge it so you can see where she was each hour as she ventured farther from her nest. I think it's interesting that she found an eagle concentration area already. Transmittering Bald Eagles helps to find these areas where conservation efforts are so important.
