The Dyfi Osprey chicks are doing just great! I saw the family together on the nest today. Only one of the Osplets was awake though... The other two were in pancake mode...
The Harrison Bay Eagles are still using the nest as a home base, which I would expect. Look at how excited this chick is!
Because it sees Dad bringing a big fish to the nest!
You did a good job raising your family Dad! Happy late Father's Day!
One Eaglet claimed the fish, but they both want it!
The Scottish Wildlife Trust's Loch of the Lowes Osprey nest always looks to me like it's on an angle. I imagine that's just an optical illusion due to the camera angle to the nest. It looks like the babies are already taking up half of the nest!
Mom couldn't get the skin to tear off. One of the babies thought to give it a try. Mom and baby both have beaks on that tough skin!
When the baby couldn't tear off a piece, it tried to just keep swallowing. That didn't work either. And look at the sibling standing up! Their initial posture when they first start standing up is a bit bent over. But it's starting to bend forward even more in the s'cap in order to poop.
We can see the tail feathers on the chick on the left. Look at how nicely they are all feathering out.
The White-bellied Sea Eagles are preparing their nest for eggs! This looks like cooperative stick work, but it was nothing like that. It was more of a wrestling match... And I think the stick won!
I think they put in a new HD cam. The picture is crystal clear and the zoom is great.
There are some nice branches for perches. You can see the branch above the nest is dirty from the parents perching there and eating. I think this nest is really going to be fun to watch this year.
Again this morning, one of the White Rock Eaglets was on the front branch. With the flap of its wings it twisted around and stepped back down into the nest.
Then there was some wingercizing from the sibling. They grow so fast!
