Dyfi Osprey Day 1&2 Second Hatch!, Africam Black Eagles Day 2&3, Harrison Bay Eagles Day 61&63 Branching! and Injury Update

The second egg has hatched at the Dyfi Osprey nest. One more to go!

Something flew over the nest. Dad puffed up to make himself look bigger. Mom jumped up and took off to defend the nest.

Both of the babies are getting plenty to eat.

I had a bad time with cam freezes at the Africam Black Eagle nest today. These are the s'caps that I could get. So far, it's harmony:

I got a look at Mom brooding her babies...

The only time I saw the babies, they were sleeping... I will try again tomorrow!

I checked on the Harrison Bay eaglet today that had the injured nare yesterday (HB8) -- an Eagle's nostril is called a nare. While looking for that, I found a couple of other interesting interactions from today. So, here's the Not Sharing/Feeling Feisty/Injured Nare video (5:11):

The younger eaglet, HB8, also branched. It turns out, it branched Friday and I missed it. It (finally) stepped out onto the branch. (Hopping/flapping onto the branch will come later.) Here's a s'cap from today, the second time that it branched.

Reese Lukei was on hand today to see Dad Norfolk & HE's eaglet fledge. Check out Reese's post, with pictures, at this link!

Yesterday, I wasn't sure if it was a crack or a pip in one of the Dyfi Osprey eggs. Well, it was a pip! Today they have a hatchling! Here's a 1st Chick Hatches video (2:07) that they posted.

Here's some s'caps from today of the hatchling:

It looks like there's a pip starting in this egg.

It looks like there might be a hole in the bottom right area of this egg. I don't know if it's the same egg as the one above.

The second egg hatched at the Africam Black Eagle nest! These chicks hatched only one day apart. Maybe the first hatch won't have such a big size advantage...

One of the Harrison Bay Eaglets was injured today either during the food delivery or during a later scuffle with the sibling for the fish. The nare on the right side is bloody.

Here's a video of the Eaglet's Injury, including the two scuffles when it happened.

The Harrison Bay Eaglets still haven't branched...
