The Two Harbors fledgling K43 was at home when I checked this evening. In the first s'cap, she was shaking to get her feathers to lay right. This cam has great sound. Bald Eagle feathers make a dry rattling sound when they shake.
She was just hanging out on the edge.
I checked in again just now. It looks like she is going to spend the night in the nest. So sweet!
Christian Sasse was on live tonight at the White Rock nest. I didn't get very good s'caps tonight. It might have been due to the lighting...
Christian was experimenting with a picture-in-picture set-up. What do you guys think?
It was overcast during Christian's broadcast.
One of the parents came to the nest a couple of times. The eaglets put up such a racket! Lots of squeeing!
Most times, when I take a s'cap of this nest in the evening, the trees in the bottom right are dark blobs. But tonight, they look how they normally look in the morning. I'm not sure if this was the result of the overcast skies...
The White-bellied Sea Eagle is such a pretty bird! I forgot to post this before. Here's a link to the video of her laying the egg. Dad comes to the nest and she starts to vocalize while he's there. A couple of minutes later, she lays the egg. (Be aware that the nest is under some radio towers and it bleeds over onto the cables that carry the sound for the nest.)
White-bellied Sea Eagles lay white eggs.
The Montgomeryshire Wildlife Trust's Dyfi Osprey Project Mom has got the cat-nap down to a science. I think that she is so 'on-guard' that she doesn't really sleep. Take a little nap:
Swing head toward possible danger...
...and take a look.
Even at night she's restless. Here she is preening:
And she's awake even though it's nighttime.
As I'm preparing to go to bed, it's sunrise at the nest.
And she's napping again...
