Africam Black Eagle Day 63, Dyfi Osprey Day 59,61&62, Harrison Bay Eagles Day 123&125, Loch of the Lowes Osprey Day 67,69&70, Soddy Daisy Bluebirds Day 2&3, White-bellied Sea Eagle Incubation Continues, White Rock Eagles Day 101&102 Nest Is GONE!, Doggy Push-ups, Bald Eagle and Red-tailed Hawk Calls

I was home this morning and was able to get some good views of the Africam Black Eagle chick. There was a big stretch before standing up.


I love the leggings on these birds!

Potty break...
 
Being shy.

The flight feathers on the wing are coming in great!

Here's all three Dyfi Osplets in the nest.

Then one-by-one, they took off.



One of the Harrison Bay Eaglets was at the nest this afternoon.

The Eaglet did a call that started to sound like an adult calling. It's like the Eaglet is going through Puberty (1:30):

This is the same Eaglet, hiding in the shadows...

There were quite a few comings and goings at the Scottish Wildlife Trust's Loch of the Lowes Osprey nest today.






I think they are enjoying their new-found freedom.

And with this departure, the nest is empty.

The Soddy Daisy Bluebirds are just hairy blobs at this stage. They aren't being brooded much during the day, probably because the temps are so warm. That allows Mom to go foraging for food for her babies.

It's less than a week for hatch watch at the White-bellied Sea Eagle nest. I'm so eggcited I can hardly stand it! The White-bellied Sea Eagle chick is the cutest thing ever! For now, incubation continues...

Nobody was home at the White Rock Eagle nest today, but the light was pretty and the nest was... GONE! It has been falling apart. And last year a lot of the nest fell away. But now it is completely GONE!!!

We will have to see what next year brings...

Check out this video that somebody posted of a dog working out with its owner. It is the cutest thing! (0:39)

A lot of people don't know what a Bald Eagle sounds like because so many times (in commercials and movies and TV shows) the scream of a Red-tailed Hawk is dubbed in. Here's an article about it and you can play a video of each bird calling. Play the videos! Way cool!
