Harrison Bay Eagles Second Hatch!, Bald Eagles HK And Sterling Updates, White-bellied Sea Eagles Female Resident Missing, Loch of the Lowes Osprey Tracking Update, Dyfi Osprey Project Update and Fundraising

The second egg hatched today at the Harrison Bay Eagle nest, 21 hours after the first hatch! This is our first look at the newest hatchling. HB9, who hatched yesterday, is on the left. HB10 is on the right.

HB9 is already showing curiosity about the world around him/her. HB10 is to the right, down in the soft grass.

They both perked up for food, but I don't know if any of the bites hit their target.

This is only two hours after HB10 (on the right) hatched! What a strong baby!

There are some updates on Bald Eagles HK and Sterling at their territory at the Honey Bee Golf Course:
2/28 HK & Sterling at the cell tower
2/29 HK & Sterling at the nest
3/2 HK & Sterling at the nest and surrounding area
3/3 HK & Sterling at the nest again!
I wonder if they are around the nest so much because Sterling is feeling eggy...

The White-bellied Sea Eagle resident female hasn't been seen for two weeks, which is unusual. They are asking people to report any sightings.

There is a Loch of the Lowes Osprey tracking update, with recent pictures of FR3.

The Dyfi Osprey Project has an update on their preparations for the next nesting season and they are raising funds to help pay for the equipment and streaming. Please consider a donation if you enjoy the Dyfi Osprey!

Berry College Eagles Second Hatch B7!, Bald Eagles HK and Sterling, Africam Black Eagles Cam Upgrade And New Pictures

What a big 24 hours for the Berry College Eagles. B6 hatched at 10:17PM last night and B7 hatched less than 15 hours later at 2:55PM this afternoon. This is the first look at B6 this morning after the infrared light was turned off:

Mom's left leg is still bothering her. Here, Dad gets his first look at B6 while Mom stretches after incubating overnight.

The other egg has a pip.



B6 has already mastered the peek-a-boo!

At 1:55PM this afternoon, the overhead cam shows that B7 is mostly out of the shell.

At 2:12PM, B7 is still head-first in the shell.

B7 is finally free of the shell at 2:55PM! Mom is trying to get ahold of the empty shell to remove it from the nest bowl.


Here's a couple of family screen captures. B7 is still weak from hatching.


There's a new blog post for Bald Eagles HK and Sterling and their visitors today. Pam Monahan is doing a great job documenting HK and his adventures.

The Africam Black Eagles had new camera equipment installed as part of an upgrade. It looks like the cam is just set to do a tour of the area since it's not currently nesting season. Here's a video of A Tour With New Cam (5:22). There are also some new pictures. Check this link and this link.

Southwest Florida Eagles Day 2&3 Brood Wars

I've got a few s'caps from today from the Southwest Florida nest. It was such a rainy day. Here's Mom, during the overnight hours, trying to make herself as large as possible to shield her babies from the rain.

Mom did a feeding during a break in the rain.

Here's a gif of Mom shaking off the rain.

Dad came to the nest while it was still pretty dark. He wanted to take over brooding the babies. But Mom didn't want to give up the nest. There was a "conversation" and they settled the matter. Here's a link to the Brood Wars video (14:48).
