PBS Earthflight Miniseries Airs Tomorrow Night, Bald Eagle KE's Location, CCB and Bald Eagles on NPR Tomorrow Morning, Bald Eagle Buddy is Tethered, Another Post On Hummingbirds on Feathered Photography

The Earthflight miniseries starts tomorrow night on PBS at 8:00PM. This first episode is about Snow Geese, Pelicans, and Bald Eagles. If you can't watch it when it airs on PBS, you can stream it afterward at pbs.org/nature. I'm really looking forward to watching this series!

It's been a while since we've gotten an update on Bald Eagle KE's location. Prince George's County is not very far from where I was raised. Here's a link to the post.

NPR will air a story on their Morning Edition tomorrow about CCB and the Bald Eagle recovery on the James River. It's at 89.5 FM and the Morning Edition show is on from 5:00AM - 9:00AM. I will try to catch it in the morning.

Bald Eagle Buddy is now tethered in his enclosure. There is a brief comment about it and a video at this link. I couldn't get the embedded video to play, so here is a direct link to the video on youtube.

Ron Dudley has another post on Hummingbirds on his Feathered Photography blog. Great pictures! He also included this link about the Hummingbird's tongue. Very nice little clip. 

Locations of Bald Eagles NX and Camellia, Big Fine For Cutting Down Tree With Bald Eagle Nest, Hummingbird Biology on Feathered Photography

Bald Eagle NX is still hanging out around Quantico. See her latest postition data.

Bald Eagle Camellia has returned from his latest little adventure. His latest position data is here.

So, this idiot calls a tree company to cut down a tree on his property. The tree has a Bald Eagle nest in it, so the company told him 'no' because of the nest. So, he calls another company, which cut down the tree. The guy got a big fat fine. Too bad it wasn't more! What a moron. Here's the story.

Bald Eagle Buddy Training Update, Hummingbirds on Feathered Photography, Dr. Bryan Watts to Give Keynote Address, Hawk Silhouettes

Well, I don't know what to say about Buddy. There is a training update posted for him. Something that Ed Clark said way back in the day, when they decided to keep him as an educational animal, has stuck with me. He said that some Bald Eagles develop problems when they reach maturity. And Buddy has been acting out lately. I hope that this is just a phase that he is going through... Here's a link to the update.

My other avian love besides raptors are Hummingbirds. I am so happy, the other day, a Hummingbird found my feeder and seems to be sticking around! Anyway, Ron Dudley has a new post on Hummingbirds on his Feathered Photography blog. The pictures of the Hummingbirds are great and the flowers are beautiful. I don't think those flowers grow around here. There are some butterfly pictures too. But I really love the Hummingbird pictures!

Dr. Bryan Watts, Director of The Center for Conservation Biology, will be giving the keynote address to the annual meeting of the Eastern Massachusetts Hawk Watch Association (EMHW) on Friday September 6th. It is open to the public. He will be talking about the Chesapeake Bay Bald Eagles. See CCB's Eagle Nest Blog for details. This event is in Medford, Mass -- which is where my Dad's side of the family is from. Wish I could go...

I spent some time poking around the EMHW site and found a page about identifying hawks by their silhouette -- which is very often all that you can see. Pretty good info there. Check it out.

Bald Eagles Camellia and NX Check In, Pam Monahan's New Pictures of Bald Eagle HK, What Hummingbirds Want, 7 Bear Attacks In 7 Days, Dolphins Experiencing Unusual Mortality Event, It's A Shark-Eat-Shark World

Bald Eagle Camellia is out on tour. He seems determined to shake off the photographers that are trying to find him. Here's his latest data.

Bald Eagle NX finally checked in today too. Here's her latest data. I think it's pretty cool that they also get data on her altitude...

Pam Monahan has posted some new pictures of Bald Eagle HK. The pictures are dated 8/19 and 8/20. She is having a lot of luck finding him lately!

Here's an informative article about What Hummingbirds Want. I need all the pointers I can get!

7 Bear Attacks in 7 Days. There is so much habitat loss, I fear that it's only going to get worse...

Dolphins are experiencing an Unusual Mortality Event.

It's a Shark-Eat-Shark World.

Hummingbirds Sleeping, NX Still in the News, Bald Eagle picture, DC Eagle Cam

This link contains three videos of Hummingbirds sleeping. I was so surprised. I never knew they slept like this!

For some reason, it still seems to be news that NX has been in Stafford, VA... I keep finding the same story on different web pages, as far away as San Francisco. This is not news! I wonder if it's a marketing campaign by the Wildlife Center of Virginia...

A Longmont, CO paper shows a picture of a Bald Eagle perched on a fence in someone's yard. I've not seen many pictures of Bald Eagles sitting perched so low to the ground. I've seen them on the ground in plenty of pictures -- in a clearing where they can see any threats long before they get close. This seems unusual to me...

There is a nest cam in DC that I found out about today through this article. The webcam can be seen here. I am getting a red x. But I'm having connection issues tonight, so I don't know if it's me or the cam...
