Africam Black Eagle Day 61, Harrison Bay Eagles Day 121&123, Loch of the Lowes Osprey Day 65,67&68, Soddy Daisy Bluebirds Day 1 Two Babies Hatched!, Details About Bob Anderson's Death

I got a good s'cap of the Africam Black Eagle chick this morning, in the nest with Mom.

It was a good day to watch the Harrison Bay Eagle nest. The Fledglings spent quite a bit of time at the nest today.

The was a food delivery with the requisite rush by an Eaglet to claim the meal.


HB7 claimed the fish!

But then HB8 came in and stole it!

And ate it!

HB8's eyelid is halfway closed. It comes up from the bottom.

They look a little creepy when their eyes are closed.

This was a very graceful poop shoot.

It looks like one of the Eaglets is spending the night in the nest tree.


I had a hard time getting cams up this morning. I think my internet connection is starting to have problems again. This is all I got at the Scottish Wildlife Trust's Loch of the Lowes Osprey nest today. This is either FR3 or FR4, because it has an antenna.

 Two of the Soddy Daisy Bluebirds hatched today, right on time.

They come out begging for food!

Mom cleans up the shells by eating them. The two babies are in face-plant mode, resting. Hatching is hard work!

I posted video of the First and Second Hatch (12:46):

I found an article about the death of Bob Anderson. It says he was recently diagnosed with Atrial Fibrillation. He was on his way to see his doctor when he collapsed and died. Here's a link to the article.
