Bald Eagle NX's Location, Bald Eagle HK - Mating or Bonding, NE Florida and SW Florida Nests Have Two Nestlings Each, Duane Noblick's Pictures of a Snowy Owl, Reese Lukei's Trip To Botswana, Bald Eagles Dying in Utah, Ron Dudley's Feathered Photography Blog

I hope everyone had a Merry Christmas! Wishing blessings to all in the New Year!

Bald Eagle NX checked in on Christmas day. She is 14 miles away from her 12/14 check-in.

Pam Monahan had a visit with Bald Eagle HK and got pictures of mating or bonding... Check out her blog entry...

The Northeast Florida and Southwest Florida Bald Eagle nests both have two hatchlings now. And so it begins again!

Duane Noblick got some really great pictures of a Snowy Owl. So pretty!

Reese has a blog entry about a recent trip to Botswana.

Something is killing Bald Eagles in Utah. Scientists think it is a disease as opposed to a toxin.

I haven't looked at Ron Dudley's Feathered Photography blog recently. Here are some interesting posts:

• Female Kestrel - Twisting, Turning Take-off
• Rough-legged Hawk in a Frosty Wonderland
• Rust on Rust - Female American Kestrel
• The Phantom Pheasant
• The Menacing Talons of a Prairie Falcon
• A Barn Owl Hunting (and a Bald Eagle)
• Red-tailed Hawk Sucker-punched by a Kestrel

Bunnies Playing, Animal Police Blotter, Prairie Falcons on Feathered Photography, Documentary "Return Flight"

Here's a short video of two bunnies playing. So cute...

I found these recent entries in the Unalaska Police Blotter... I wonder if this is the usual kind of things that the local police have to deal with. See the three entries for 'animal'...

Rod Dudley has an interesting post on his Feathered Photography blog about Prairie Falcons eating grasshoppers. He posted lots of great pictures.

There is a documentary Return Flight available on YouTube about the restoration of Bald Eagles to the Channel Islands. It's kinda long, almost 14 minutes. But it's really good! I've seen it and posted about it before on the forum. But it's so good I wanted to post about it again on here.

Bald Eagle Camellia's Location, James River Bald Eagle Pairs, Eagle Watching, Raptors On Feathered Photography Blog

Camellia checked in late last night. He's near the intersection of Princess Anne Rd and Kempsville Rd.

I zoomed in and it looks like he's in a neighborhood on Belingham Rd:

My friend Diane pointed out this story about Bald Eagle pairs in the James River region. CCB conducted aerial surveys in March and May and have announced their findings. I poked around and found a blog post by Dr Watts that I had missed. He discusses their findings and presents a graph and picture.

Here's a story about relocating an eagle nest so it would be away from power lines. I'd like to see a follow-up story once the resident eagles return to their nest for the next nesting season... See how the eagles react and if they take to the new location. This could have some implications on what's happening with the Norfolk Botanical Garden (NBG) eagles.

I found this story about a bunch of people coming together watching a bald eagle nest. It reminds me of that magical time, watching the NBG nest...

I haven't looked at Ron Dudley's Feathered Photography blog recently. Check out these four posts: Red-tailed Hawk -- Northern Harrier -- Prairie Falcon -- American Kestral. Amazing pictures of beautiful birds!
