Africam Black Eagle Day 76, Dyfi Osprey Day 72,74&75, Harrison Bay Eagles, Loch of the Lowes Osprey Day 80,82&83, Soddy Daisy Bluebirds Day 15&16, White-bellied Sea Eagles Day 7

The Africam Black Eagle chick was having an easy morning.

Mom Dyfi Osprey was enjoying a fish this morning.

While Mom was on the high perch behind the nest, one of the babies was in the nest and another Osprey was on the low perch to the left.

The parents stayed in the nest tree overnight.

The parents spent some time in the nest and perched in the nest tree branches.



It was already very bright when the infrared camera turned off.



Later in the day, they were across the way in the large pine tree.

They both left that tree...

...and settled in on the branches of the nest tree for the night.

There is a new post about the Lock of the Lowes Osprey.

The Soddy Daisy Bluebirds are filling up the nest box. I got two faces...

...3 faces...
 
 ...all 4 faces! Well, parts of all 4 faces. Good enough!

Dad White-bellied Sea Eagle will come to the nest and fly off with a fish. This morning when Dad arrived at the nest, Mom got up and took one fish...

...and took another fish so Dad couldn't fly off with either.

Dad left and Mom fed the chicks.

The chicks are sizing each other up for some bopping.

This is right before they did some hair pulling.

Dad came back and grabbed a fish and left with it.

Mom came around for this feeding and we can see the chicks.

A family s'cap!

These babies are so cute!


Dad was having a hard time trying to figure out how to brood these growing babies. He made several false starts and ended up just hovering over the chicks.

Mom must have come back because he got up, grabbed a fish, ran across the nest, and took off. And sure enough, Mom appeared a few minutes later. Here's Dad taking off with the fish.
