Berry College Eagles Un-Stick The Landing, White-bellied Sea Eagles Day 87 SE15's Bad Day, Dyfi Osprey Project Nest Clean-up, Africam Black Eagles New Pictures

Nestorations continue at the Berry College nest.

Stick delivery:

Mom and Dad spend a lot of time in the nest together. Bald Eagles bond while working on the nest together.

I like it when they come and go by the back door.

Dad is so tiny compared to Mom.

They take a break during the afternoon. Then they were both in the nest at dusk.

One of the parents had a bad landing in the nest while bringing a stick. I think it was Dad. Not only did he not stick the landing, but he also lost the stick. Check out Un-Stick The Landing (0:26):

There is some on-going drama at the White-bellied Sea Eagle nest. SE15 was hopping to the nest from the perch branch and missed the nest. He fell below the nest and spent the night there. During the day today, he has moved around some of the branches, but he hasn't fledged yet and still hasn't made it back into the nest. At one point, SE16 was trying to get away from a Currawong and flew right into SE15. But SE15 kept ahold of his perch and SE16 was able to untangle herself and fly off. Once SE15 is hungry enough, he will either work his way back into the nest by hopping among the branches or he will fledge and get back that way. Here's some video of SE15's Bad Day (11:37):

The folks at the Dyfi Osprey Project have cleaned up the nest. Check out their post about their work.

There are new pictures of the Africam Black Eagle Kendi and her parents.

I was out of town the last few days. I am getting ready to build a house in Maryland and I had to make the trip to sign the construction loan. I have created a new blog for the housebuilding.
