Pam Monahan's Blog, Pilot Whale Stranding, Eagle Steals Video Camera, Berry College Eagle Cam

Check out Pam Monahan's blog posts for the month of November. Funny, but she's not the first Bald Eagle watcher to be quizzed by the police... Pam is doing a great job of documenting HK's time spent at Honey Bee Golf Course. If you are local and head that way to see him, please be mindful that he spooks if you get too close. You never want to do anything to cause wildlife to change their behavior. You can cause them to needlessly expend energy, abandon young, lose prey, etc... While on the subject of Pam, you can also find great pics of HK on her photography site.

A pod of Pilot Whales is in trouble. They are in shallow water and need to move out to deeper water. A group of people are working to try to save them. But some have already died and some had to be euthanized. I hope biologists can figure out what causes whales to do this. I think it might be a case of healthy whales not wanting to leave sick whales (loved ones?). It's interesting that whales might feel that kind of connection to each other...

Have you guys heard about the Eagle that stole a video camera that rangers had set up to record Crocodiles? The camera disappeared back in May and was recently found almost 70 miles away. Check out the video -- watch it to the end to see selfie footage of the thief! (The rangers plan to bolt down their cameras in the future...)

So excited when I looked in on the Berry College Eagle Cam tonight! I couldn't get the screen capture program open fast enough! I was scared something would happen to spoil the picture. But YAY! I got the picture! I wonder if the one that's standing is the female or if it just looks larger because it is in closer proximity to the camera. I would think that the female would be the one to lie down in the nest and tuck in her head, especially if her feet are still injured or permanently damaged (see write up on camera page). So I wonder, who's who?
