This Facebook page has some nice pics of the Hays Bald Eagles.
The Two Harbors fledgling is at home tonight. At first, she was hanging out at the edge of the nest. (The opposite edge from last night...)
Then she turned her head so I could see her face...
And then she finally came out where I could see her.
Here's the view of the White Rock nest tonight from the wide-angle cam:
Christian Sasse was on live tonight at the White Rock nest. Here are my s'caps from tonight:
I brought up the White-bellied Sea Eagle nest just in time to see Mom and Dad in the nest, but they had Teamviewer up to do something. By the time the screen returned to normal, Dad was gone and Mom was eating. She left as soon as she finished eating.
Zoomer found them on the love branch...
The Africam Black Eagle chick was hiding this morning.
And then some of the "whitewash" at the back of the nest moved... And that's as good as it got during the limited time I had to look before work.
The babies at the Montgomeryshire Wildlife Trust's Dyfi Osprey Project nest were easy to spot this morning. But of course they were sleeping...
Bald Eagles Grace and Camellia have both checked in.
I didn't have much time for nest watching today. I missed the fledge of the Berry College Bluebirds. I did find this video that goes through from hatch to fledge. I missed seeing the hatch and the fledge, so I was happy to find this video. It's a little long (27:27) but it covers the entire 18 days... Here's the empty nest tonight... Be safe little ones!
The Maine eaglet seems to be doing well. Whenever I check in, there is chat about the day's feedings... This eaglet is 67 days old now. We can start looking for fledge next week. I haven't been observing this nest much, so haven't seen any clues as to how ready she is to fledge.
I checked the Hays nest today, and nobody was home...
The Two Harbors eaglet K43 was hanging out just at the edge of the cam. It's nice that she still comes to the nest...
Christian Sasse had his equipment set up and streaming tonight at the White Rock nest. Such a treat!
The eaglet disappeared from view for a little while, so I switched to the wide-angle cam to see what was happening in the nest.
It wasn't long before an eaglet showed up again for Christian. They are constantly looking around. That's how you survive in the wild...
I overslept and got to work super-late today. So, no time to check the cams before work... I did find a video from the Africam Black Eagle from today. There's a lot happening in this video (2:16)!
I can see the White-bellied Sea Eagle nest after work. So it was no big deal missing it this morning. I checked that nest a couple of times today, but nobody was home either time. But that's ok -- we are one day closer to eggs!
I checked the Montgomeryshire Wildlife Trust's Dyfi Osprey Project nest after work and it was dark there. I took this s'cap at 8:10PM east coast time.
It's 11:30PM here now and it is dawn at the nest... I don't know when Mom sleeps! She spends a lot of time being alert...
Once again, I've looked in on the Hays nest a couple of times today and found it empty. Here's a link to a video taken from the ground of the fledglings in flight. It's a little bouncy. It's not easy taking video of birds flying. It takes some practice... This footage represents a lot of time spent at the nest. I know from experience that it's not uncommon to spend all day at a nest and get nothing. Check it out.
I checked the Two Harbors nest just now before posting and found K43 laying in the nest.
The White Rock nest has one beautiful day after another!
There's another live feed at the White Rock nest tonight. With Christian Sasse's equipment. I don't hear anyone talking though -- so I don't think that he's there... The web page says that he's got a new set-up. It looks like he's got cameras set up and they are rotating through 3 scenes. This is scene 1, seems a little washed out to me... But that could be due to changing light after the equipment was set up... The new verbiage at the bottom is part of the stream...
Scene 2 is a closer view of the same angle. It's washed out too...
This is the third scene in the rotation.
All four of the Berry College Bluebirds were still in the nest box today. They look like regular birds now. I expect they will be gone any day now...
Perpetually hungry.
Wing stretch coming in from the top.
I've got my eye on you!
Big wing stretch.
This is how you wingercize in a small box. You just have to go for it! I like how one bird is peeking out from under the flapping wing in the bottom right hand corner. And if you look close, you can see another beak in the center bottom. They are really packed in!
You can see some of all four babies in this s'cap.
I didn't get to see the Africam Black Eagle chick today.
The White-bellied Sea Eagle cam is a PTZ (pan tilt zoom) cam. When I checked in today, the cam was on one of the adults. Different s'caps trying to get different head angles not obscured by leaves.
When I checked in this morning, the Montgomeryshire Wildlife Trust's Dyfi Osprey Project nest babies were... laying low. One of these days, I'm going to find them sitting up! One adult in the nest and one on the perch.
Bald Eagles Grace and Camellia have both checked in (yesterday). I think Reese is away right now, so here's their locations from yesterday. They are both on the same map! I've got the tracks turned on for Grace so you can see her adventures since fledging. (It's no good to turn on Camellia's tracks since he has scribbled over the same areas so many times!)
