Nest Cam Round-up: White-bellied Sea Eagle, Africam Black Eagle, Dyfi Osprey, White Rock, and Berry College Bluebird (Fledge!), and Bald Eagles Camellia and Grace Checked In

The first feeding of the White-bellied Sea Eagle chick happened yesterday right around the time I was ready to post my entry. So, those s'caps will start tonight's entry. We got a good view of the baby when Mom took a break from incubating:

 

Mom had no sooner settled back in when Dad landed in the nest with a fish. 

 

Mom stood up and we got a nice family picture -- back of baby's head. But still...

Then Mom gave the baby its first bites of food.

These s'caps are from today, day 2 for S13... (Have you noticed the date stamp is usually a day off? They are 14 hours ahead of us...)

The baby was hungry and fussing at Dad, who only fed himself...

Dad left and Mom returned to the nest.

Mom must not have realized the baby was hungry, because she just settled in to brood/incubate. She looks fluffy here -- maybe it was a little chilly in the early morning and she was trying to warm up.

I got these s'caps much later today.

The chick already looks much larger than the egg.

I haven't seen the parents perched on the nest tree branches before. This doesn't look very comfortable, but does give a good view of the nest. She was looking all around, ready to defend the nest.

There wasn't much happening in the Africam Black Eagle nest this morning.

I can tell that one of the Montgomeryshire Wildlife Trust's Dyfi Osprey Project nest fledglings is laying in the nest. But I'm not sure if that's a parent or the other fledgling standing in the nest.

Here's another of Christian Sasse's pictures of the White Rock nest (this is below the nest), posted here with his permission:

The Berry College Bluebird did fledge today. The camera was down at the time...

Bald Eagle Camellia checked in.

Bald Eagle Grace checked in.

Nest Cam Round-up: White-bellied Sea Eagle, Africam Black Eagle, Dyfi Osprey, Hog Island Osprey, and White Rock

It's been pretty days at the White-bellied Sea Eagle nest. This is from 8/4:

And from 8/5:

 

 We got a nice close-up.

I never noticed the "mustache" on these birds before viewing these close-up s'caps. That's all I can see now... Too funny!

The Africam Black Eagle has been hiding out lately. First from 8/4:
 

The chick moves a little and I can see a beak sticking out:

Then from 8/5, still hiding from the camera with a leg stretched out:

About a half hour later, there's the baby! Finally...

But on 8/6, it's back to hiding...  It looks like part of a prey item in the nest:
 

At the Montgomeryshire Wildlife Trust's Dyfi Osprey Project nest one of the fledglings was eating a fish while the other watched.

I found the Hog Island (Maine) Osprey cam today. This nest had 3 chicks hatch -- the oldest two have already fledged and the youngest is on fledge watch. Here's some s'caps from today -- pretty setting:

They are all at the nest because the parent had brought a fish to the nest. The young closest to the camera has the tail. I assume the rest of the fish had already been eaten.

That's the parent in the center of the nest. You can distinguish the adult from the youngsters because the adults' feathers don't have the white tips.

Later in the day zoomer gave a close-up:

And a pretty look in the evening. Looks like a painting:

I found and blogged about this nest over a year ago and then forgot about it for this year. Hopefully, I'll remember and be able to follow this nest next year!

Here's another of Christian Sasse's pictures of the White Rock nest -- posted here with his permission:

Berry College Bluebird, Two Harbors, Dyfi Osprey, and White Rock, and Bald Eagles Camellia and Grace Check In

No post in a couple of days, so I've got some catching up to do!

The lone hatchling at the Berry College Bluebird nest is growing up. Here's a series from the last time I posted its picture. 7/29:

7/30:

7/31:

8/1:

8/4:

8/5:

I caught a poop-packet being removed on 8/4:

And today I saw the eyes open for the first time.

The feathers are coming in really well.

This cricket was fed to the baby, but it somehow ended up in the nest. The next time that a parent came to the nest, they picked it up and fed it to the baby.

The Two Harbors fledgling spent last night in the nest. Shortly after the IR cam turned off, she started calling.

Big stretch:

Another big stretch:

Time to head out and look for breakfast:

I've got several day's worth of s'caps of the Montgomeryshire Wildlife Trust's Dyfi Osprey Project  nest. First, here's 8/3, and it looks like a lazy day at the nest. I had fun watching them take turns napping: 

They seem to be having a chat...

I think this one's my favorite from the day.

And then the peace was broken by a fish delivery.

It looks like the fledglings' bands are 3R and 5R.

That's a big fish. Flounder?

 

So funny, one trying to eat off of one end while the other tries to eat off of the other end.

Those were all from 8/3. This one is from 8/4. I have no idea what has fallen down in front of the nest. I'm not sure who is on the perch in the background.

This morning when I brought up the cam, I found this great close-up. I only got one s'cap before they zoomed back out -- but it's a good one! Love, love, love this s'cap!

And then gone!

They adjusted the camera to include the high perch.

A few minutes later and there were 3 on the high perch, with the one in the middle eating.

Then the one on the left flew, caught in the lower left corner of this s'cap:

Here is one of Christian Sasse's pictures of the White Rock nest, posted here with his permission:

Bald Eagle Camellia checked in. Beverly Nettleton got some pictures of him! Way to go Bev!

Bald Eagle Grace is exploring her new world.

That's all I've got time for tonight. I'll try to catch up with the rest tomorrow...
