I hope everyone had a Merry Christmas! Wishing blessings to all in the New Year!
Bald Eagle NX checked in on Christmas day. She is 14 miles away from her 12/14 check-in.
Pam Monahan had a visit with Bald Eagle HK and got pictures of mating or bonding... Check out her blog entry...
The Northeast Florida and Southwest Florida Bald Eagle nests both have two hatchlings now. And so it begins again!
Duane Noblick got some really great pictures of a Snowy Owl. So pretty!
Reese has a blog entry about a recent trip to Botswana.
Something is killing Bald Eagles in Utah. Scientists think it is a disease as opposed to a toxin.
I haven't looked at Ron Dudley's Feathered Photography blog recently. Here are some interesting posts:

Bald Eagle Camellia's Location, Dog Heirs, Cattleya Orchid in Bloom, Berry College Eagle Cam, American Kestrel on Feathered Photography Blog
There is a new location posted for Bald Eagle Camellia. I wonder if he's wandering a bit more now that it's cooler? He does seem to be exploring more these days.
In my wanderings, I found this site called Dog Heirs. Here's a place to start, with a rescue of a Wolf. From there, click on links for whatever looks interesting to you. I've already spent about a half hour poking around and still want to look at more stories that are offered. Here's a dog rescue with a funny ending. I love stuff like that!
I grow orchids. I don't necessarily have luck getting them to re-bloom. But I love a challenge! I have orchids that I bought online years ago that I've never seen bloom. Have I ever mentioned that I'm stubborn? I attended some classes over at the Norfolk Botanical Garden and at McDonald Garden Center with Steve Urick, who takes care of the orchids at ODU. These classes were probably two and three years ago. Probably 4 classes in total. I must have finally gotten something right. I had already noticed that two of my cattleya orchids are in sheath (getting ready to bloom). Then, out of nowhere, I caught sight of purple and discovered that a completely different cattleya orchid that I hadn't even noticed was in sheath was suddenly in bloom. Just one bloom. But it's still my first cattleya to rebloom! So I'm really excited about that and I can still look forward to the two that are getting ready to bloom!
I mentioned the Berry College Eagle Cam in a previous post. I looked in on the cam last night and this is what I found!
And tonight, they've got a date/time stamp on the cam. And someone is home! This is looking like the cam to watch these days!
I think the American Kestrel is one of the prettiest birds. Ron Dudley has done a post on his Feathered Photography blog with some interesting pictures that show their hunting behavior. These pictures are neat, especially the dive-bombing picture. But I especially love the last picture in his post. It's a stunning picture of a perched American Kestrel. Just beautiful!

Bald Eagle Camellia's Location, James River Bald Eagle Pairs, Eagle Watching, Raptors On Feathered Photography Blog
Camellia checked in late last night. He's near the intersection of Princess Anne Rd and Kempsville Rd.
I zoomed in and it looks like he's in a neighborhood on Belingham Rd:
My friend Diane pointed out this story about Bald Eagle pairs in the James River region. CCB conducted aerial surveys in March and May and have announced their findings. I poked around and found a blog post by Dr Watts that I had missed. He discusses their findings and presents a graph and picture.
Here's a story about relocating an eagle nest so it would be away from power lines. I'd like to see a follow-up story once the resident eagles return to their nest for the next nesting season... See how the eagles react and if they take to the new location. This could have some implications on what's happening with the Norfolk Botanical Garden (NBG) eagles.
I found this story about a bunch of people coming together watching a bald eagle nest. It reminds me of that magical time, watching the NBG nest...
I haven't looked at Ron Dudley's Feathered Photography blog recently. Check out these four posts: Red-tailed Hawk -- Northern Harrier -- Prairie Falcon -- American Kestral. Amazing pictures of beautiful birds!

American Kestrel Picture, Two Harbors Eagle Cam
Ron Dudley has posted a beautiful shot of an American Kestrel on his Feathered Photography blog.
Here's a screen cap from the Two Harbors nest. I tried to include one yesterday, but the baby was pancaked in Mom's shadow and you couldn't even see that it was there. This picture still isn't great. I think it's the angle of the sun. But it's still a much better shot today than what I could get yesterday:
