...then a bit of golden light.
And here's the money! SE15 in front looking so much smaller than SE16. And SE15 being closer to the camera makes him look bigger in comparison than he would if they were side-by-side. So, there's still a big size difference between them.
Pam Monahan has a new post on her blog about Bald Eagles HK and Sterling. Here's a link. Maybe this upcoming nesting season will be the year that HK becomes a Dad! He's certainly old enough, having hatched in 2009. And Sterling is 2 years older.
The Africam Black Eagle parents will start to show aggression toward their fledgling, maybe when they feel the youngster is ready to strike out on its own. For Kendi, that turns out to be only 20 days after fledging. Last year's fledgling, Jono, first saw aggression at 59 days after fledging. Here's a link to some new pics, including some pics of Kendi interacting with a parent.
The Center for Conservation Biology has published two articles about Whimbrel Hope. The first is Sharing The Story Of Hope, where her story is being brought to the classrooms to teach children about conservation. The second is News Of Hope, about what has been learned by tracking her migrations.
