I checked the Hays and Two Harbors nests a couple of times today and found empty nests every time.
S'caps from the Decorah nest wide-angle cam:
I love it when they throw their head back and call.
These are the last of my s'caps of the White Rock nest from 6/27 with Christian Sasse. I like this one because of the eaglet in the background wingercizing:
The eaglet in the foreground is ducking while the one in the background catches some air.
These two eaglets still spend most of their time side-by-side.
They are looking at something flying over the nest.
I love this shot. I just wish their right eyes were more visible.
Headless eaglets! On the left: preening. On the right: sleeping.
I really enjoy the live sessions with Christian, especially since the close-up cam is broken. And we get an even closer look with Christian's set-up.
This looks creepy... It's left eye stayed closed for a while...
Hello eaglet!
It was getting near sunset and the light kept changing. Christian had to keep adjusting the settings. That's why the light keeps looking different in these s'caps.
Blink! They can see through the nictitating membrane.
And yell!
So cute!
These eaglets are always watching each other.
Really watching each other! Birds turn their heads to the side when they want to see something with better resolution.
I think this is Dad after he brought a fish to the nest.
This is Dad. This is one of his favorite perches.
The Berry College Bluebirds are all tucked in for the night. They are all there -- one is hiding off cam.
I got to see the Africam Black Eagle nestling today. It's going to be interesting seeing that white fluff transform into feathers. Mom is all kinds of spread out when she broods her baby.
The White-bellied Sea Eagles are finishing their nest preparations. I caught some take-offs and landings today! Here's a take-off:
Just dropping below the edge of the nest after the leap.
There was lots of moving of sticks today.
This branch was checked...
...and adjusted.
Dad came in and I caught a few s'caps of the landing. The next three s'caps were taking in 2 seconds:
I love this s'cap of the pair:
After a few minutes Mom made her way to the front of the nest and took off:
I found the Montgomeryshire Wildlife Trust's Dyfi Osprey Project nest babies asleep... Again... They really sleep a lot!
I can see the leg band, it's Mom on the nest.
Mom woke up the babies when she started stepping around them.
This is a few hours later. I don't see a leg band, so this must be Dad.
