The Africam Black Eagle was just a puddle of fluff this morning.
There was a funny moment at the Dyfi Osprey nest this morning. They were all laying in different areas of the nest.
And then I could see why when they did Synchronized Wing Stretches (0:48):
The Scottish Wildlife Trust's Loch of the Lowes Osprey cam was off air for a little while today while they were ringed (banded) and two got transmitters. (I'll need some good zooming so I can see the new bling...) Before:
After:
Today was a big day for the White-bellied Sea Eagles. Right on time, Mom laid her second egg! (Keep in mind when you look at the camera date/time that they are 14 hours ahead of us.) She was resting with her eyes closed earlier in the night.
At one point, she even had her head tucked.
Then, she was wide awake!
She labored for about 8 minutes.
Then she moved around and we can just see two eggs through the sticks of the nest.
Here's a video of her Laying the Second Egg (5:07):
Here's a close-up of the two eggs taken later in the day:
Shortly after that, Dad has a mishap at the nest. He went to take-off from the nest, but it looks like a talon got caught on the nest. He recovered, but I'll be looking for a limp... Here's the Failure To Launch video (1:02):
The White Rock Eaglets were just hanging out on a windy day during the brief time I had to visit with them this morning.
Duane Noblick posted a couple of pictures of a fledgling on the Norfolk Eagles Forum. He takes such nice pictures! Feel free to poke around the forum while you are over there. You can also click the link at the bottom of his post and check out his photography website. I think you'll enjoy them both!
The Harrison Bay Eagle Cam was down tonight when I checked in...
