And from 8/5:
I never noticed the "mustache" on these birds before viewing these close-up s'caps. That's all I can see now... Too funny!
The Africam Black Eagle has been hiding out lately. First from 8/4:
The chick moves a little and I can see a beak sticking out:
Then from 8/5, still hiding from the camera with a leg stretched out:
About a half hour later, there's the baby! Finally...
But on 8/6, it's back to hiding... It looks like part of a prey item in the nest:
At the Montgomeryshire Wildlife Trust's Dyfi Osprey Project nest one of the fledglings was eating a fish while the other watched.
I found the Hog Island (Maine) Osprey cam today. This nest had 3 chicks hatch -- the oldest two have already fledged and the youngest is on fledge watch. Here's some s'caps from today -- pretty setting:
They are all at the nest because the parent had brought a fish to the nest. The young closest to the camera has the tail. I assume the rest of the fish had already been eaten.
That's the parent in the center of the nest. You can distinguish the adult from the youngsters because the adults' feathers don't have the white tips.
Later in the day zoomer gave a close-up:
And a pretty look in the evening. Looks like a painting:
I found and blogged about this nest over a year ago and then forgot about it for this year. Hopefully, I'll remember and be able to follow this nest next year!
