Berry College Eagles Day 61&63, Harrison Bay Eagles Day 17&19, Africam Black Eagle Second Egg!, Gosling Leap From The Nest, Shame On Hunter Rebecca Francis

The Berry College Eaglets are flapping and posing like this to help dry off.

The Harrison Bay Eaglets are stuffing themselves with fish! And then falling into food comas. During this feeding, we can see there is still a big size difference between the two chicks.

I like the close-ups on this cam.

One of the parents perches near the nest.

The other parent lands in the nest with a fish.

The White Rock Eagles are on hatch watch! She did an egg roll while I was watching, but she kept her back to the cam and I couldn't see the eggs.
 
Right on time, the Africam Black Eagle laid her second egg. It's really strange, she was in this pose, with her butt up in the air.
 
 Then she dipped down for about 2 seconds:

Then she raised back up and the second egg was visible.
 
Check out this gosling's leap from the nest. Read the story and watch the video. It's a nail biter!

There is an uproar over hunter Rebecca Francis killing a giraffe. I don't understand how someone can see a beautiful animal and think it would be fun to kill it. But that's what she seems to do, over and over again. In the article she tries to justify killing this giraffe. But in the picture she's just as happy as she can be. I think she's sick in the head.

The Virginian-Pilot Reports Bald Eagles Dad Norfolk and DT Have Been Seen, Pam Monahan's Latest Post And Pictures Of Bald Eagle HK, Northeast Florida Bald Eagle Nest, Bald Eagle NX Checks In, Largest No-kill Sanctuary In The US, PooPrints, Breeding Grounds of African Lesser Flamingo Are Threatened

The Virginian-Pilot reports that the recently struck/killed Bald Eagle at the Norfolk Airport was not Dad Norfolk or DT (Dirty Tail). Here's the story.

Pam Monahan spent some time with Bald Eagle HK and the banded female he's been hanging out with. It seems from her description and series of photos, that she was inviting HK to mate, but he didn't seem to pick up on the idea. Here's the post.

I'm having a hard time seeing the cameras for the Berry College Bald Eagle nest and the Southwest Florida nest. I was able to take a peek at the Northeast Florida nest. Look at how big these babies are and how much their feathers have grown in:

We have new tracking maps for Bald Eagle NX.

This is a super-sized animal rescue! This is the largest no-kill sanctuary in the US for abandoned pets.

Have you heard of PooPrints? I love this! Apartment complexes can require a DNA sample from dogs that reside there. Then, when poo isn't cleaned up, it can be DNA matched to the dog/owner. My co-worker actually got a letter from the management of her apartment because she wasn't cleaning up after her dog. There was dog poo all over the place in front of her apartment. The only problem: she doesn't own a dog.

The breeding grounds of the African Lesser Flamingo are threatened by human development. They only breed in one place and there are people that think it would be a good idea to encroach on the area. What is wrong with people that they can be so selfish and shortsighted?
