Black Bears on Critter Cam, Brown Thrashers, Keeping Nests Clean

Last night I mentioned that Buddy is on the Wildlife Center's Critter Cam. They actually have two Critter Cams. They've got 8 Bear Cubs on their other cam! That's a lot of bears! I got a s'cap with at least a part of each cub...

I've had some Brown Thrashers settle in at my yard. I'm always surprised to see them eating the bird food that I put out. Then one really surprised me when it finished eating some bird food, then grabbed a peanut and flew away. I didn't know they liked peanuts. (In the shell...) I put out extra peanuts now!

Ron Dudley posted on his Feathered Photography blog about Ravens collecting chick feces at the nest. One of his blog readers left a link to this video, about why baby birds don't need diapers. Pretty gross. But it is necessary to keep the nest clean...

Camellia has finally left the Pocaty River. Check out his latest travels.

Don't forget that Buddy is starring on the Wildlife Center's Critter Cam!

The state of Maine is taking steps to try to reduce the number of Bald Eagles struck by vehicles. Good job! I'd be interested in hearing the results of their actions.

I've hit another milestone with my blog: this is post number 100. Thanks to all who follow my blog!

Buddy's training, NX's location, Wildlife Center of Virginia patient updates, Critter Cam, White Rock and Fort St Vrain Eagle cams, pit bull, panda mom and cub

Updates from the Wildlife Center of Virginia:

• Buddy has a new training update posted on 3/28. It sounds like he is doing great! There is a new picture.
• NX has checked in. She is just a home-body... Not traveling very far or exploring very much.
• There is an update on the Bald Eagle that was found on the Eastern Shore. It is *Bald Eagle #13-0174.
• There is an update on the Bald Eagle that "fell from the sky" in Chesapeake. This Bald Eagle has been at the Wildlife Center of Virginia since January 1, 2012. Bald Eagle #12-0001 is non-releasable awaiting placement at the Massachusetts Birds of Prey Rehabilitation Center.

*The Wildlife Center's Critter Cam currently features Bald Eagle #13-0174 and Bald Eagle #11-0230, another non-releasable Bald Eagle.

The White Rock Eagles have two eggs now. This is such a pretty nest:

The Fort St Vrain nest has a hatch. They've got a nice IR light on this nest. The Eagles can't see the light, but it allows the camera (and us) to see them:

Here's an Easter photoshoot! A pit bull is posing with some bunnies and chicks. So cute!
