It may seem gross or uncaring to feed these calves to the Condors. But it is what nature intended. I know I feel differently when Bald Eagles bring prey items that have fur vs. something with scales to the nest. I just have to remind myself that predators help to control populations and scavengers have an important job to do too. We'd be hip-deep in carcasses without them!
The Condors are part of a flock.
I don't know if the spread wings is a display of dominance or if it's drying off or cooling off.
The chick is still in the nest. I like the date/time stamp at the top now. But today I noticed that I can't see the entrance to the nest. Bummer... I've seen a lot of feedings happen there, with the parent outside and the chick inside.
I think this is only one of the Harrison Bay Eagle parents perched in the tree. Look for the white head, right in the center of the s'cap...
The White-bellied Sea Eagle's SE15 on the left is so tiny compared to SE16.
I love this!
The female on the right has a more brownish chest than the male.
Here's a video of the Simultaneous Wingercizing that they were doing today (3:44):
Here's an update of the migration of the Loch of the Lowes Osprey FR3 and FR4. I think this is fascinating! I hope their transmitters continue to function for a long time.
