Northeast Florida Nest First Egg!, Loch of the Lowes Osprey Tracking Update, Africam Black Eagles

The Northeast Florida Eagles laid their first egg today, on the same date that they laid their first egg last year. How amazing is that!? Mom was sleeping tonight while standing over the egg.

She is still protecting the egg, but is delaying full time incubation to slow the development of the embryo. Then, after all the eggs have been laid, she will incubate full time. This will help the chicks to hatch closer together, so the first hatch won't have such a big size advantage over the later hatches. Here's a video A Look At The First Egg during an egg roll (1:03):

There was an Osprey Tracking Update almost a week ago that I missed posting. I'm looking forward to their next update since FR4 has gone exploring in this update, but by now has returned to familiar territory!

Check this out! Three years of Black Eaglets. These are three siblings from the same nest 2013, 2014, and 2015. And check out these pictures of bath time with the Africam Black Eagles. The parents are bathing and Kendi is just watching. What is it with kids not wanted to take a bath?
