The Africam Black Eagle chick snuck out from under Mom. The feathers are really coming in now!
The chick came around to face the camera. (I think we've been spotted...)
I don't know what the night time temperature is there. I think it's a bit chilly. Mom is still doing her best to keep her baby warm.
I recorded the Dyfi Osprey overnight in case one of them fledged. But my computer downloaded a security patch and did an automatic reboot, which killed my recording. And ALL THREE FLEDGED in about a 3 hour time period. Click the link for their blog entry about the day. When I brought up the cam this morning, they were all perched on the camera support and Mom was below them in the nest.
Here's a take-off from the right-hand side of the arm.
You can see the fledgling in the top right corner of the s'cap.
It did a pretty good flight before returning to the same spot.
There was a mishap. Brenig (W3) Land On Merin (W1) Twice! (2:05). They both tumbled off of the perch. In the thumbnail below, that's actually Mom (who tried to fly to the rescue) above Brenig who is on Merin's back. It's a mess of wings and bodies...
Not to worry though. It's after midnight here and the sun is coming up over there. All three Osplets are in the nest.
Both of the Harrison Bay Fledglings were at the nest today.
There was a food delivery. Look at that dirty mouth!
One of the babies got a fish. I think this is HB7.
HB8 on the left and HB7 on the right.
They did some stick work together. So cute!
At least one is spending the night in the nest tree.
The Scottish Wildlife Trust's Loch of the Lowes Osplets were all in the nest the morning for breakfast with Mom.
The White-bellied Sea Eagles are still incubating their two eggs.
I found a new Bluebird cam. This is the Soddy Daisy Bluebird nest. This cam has sound! It doesn't look like the Berry College Bluebirds are going to nest again. So, maybe I'll follow the Soddy Daisy nest...
