Each of us has turned to watching and caring for the birds and early wildlife for angstrom many reasons as there are humans. One of the most normally cited is ‘ The birds bring me gladden ’. Unlike scientists who try to be arm ’ randomness length, most of us have our front-runner shuttlecock families that we watch. We even have our front-runner chicks in the clutch. surely I admit to that – Ervie at Port Lincoln was constantly my guy out of the three. I like the third hatches that survive. They are game and creative and, I hope, have facilities for survival in the wild that possibly the eldest who often ate first and the most doesn ’ triiodothyronine have. It is peculiarly difficult when we see our bird families struggling. We worry. We cry. My fingernail get inadequate .
It is easy to miss what is happening on the Dale River nest. If you look the rewind is alone an hour. I wanted to find out what was happening on this nest. Did something happen to a parent ? No, both came on the nest around 19:00. indeed I went to the connection in the information under the streaming cam to find out about Wednesday ’ second feedings .
The Dale Hollow group were able to tell me the chicks had eaten well – all of them once and there was a moment fertilize in the morning. It was not videotaped therefore no one was sure if all ate. I besides learned something else from Keisha Howell who has been making the video of the nest and posting them on YouTube. In the early days, DH16 who I have been calling small Bit, was fed so much for a bantam little chick that it actually balked at feedings. apparently it still has worry eating excessively a lot food at once. That is commodity to know. I included the video of the early morning tip in an earlier stake. If you missed that television, here it is :
I would encourage anyone concern in this nest to join the discussion group and ask as many questions as you like. There are very knowledgable people who will be glad to help you. This is how we all learn – by asking questions. And no doubt is a stupid question ! always. The link to the group is :

There is business as the Black Storks and Ospreys move from Africa up to Latvia, Estonia, and Finland that the wildlife will get caught in the war in the Ukraine. There is person called Ann that is diligently creating maps and posting information on Looduskalender from information provided by the satellite tracker on Karl II. I have cut and pasted the most holocene data from this discussion group below. If you would like to check this yourself, here is the link to Looduskalender :
These are the fish ponds where Karl II refuelled :
On his descent travel to Africa, Karl II stopped in the Ukraine. There are many nature reserve areas along the shore of the Black Sea around Odessa. You can see from the simple map below the countries that he will fly over to reach a resting spot on the Black Sea. We worry for him, for his match and for all the others who are making their way home to the baltic Region .
California loves their Bald Eagle families. I frequently wondered why some nests were more popular in terms of viewers than others and as one lector, ‘ B ’ explained to me last week, the eagles are all over the newsworthiness in California. Californians love their Bald Eagle families – they are celebrities. ‘ B ’ was referring to Jackie and Shadow at the time. now it is Thunder and Akecheta ’ s go !

I am going to bore you with baby pictures. These are Thunder and Akecheta ’ s three being fed by Dad, Akecheta, this afternoon at 14:43. There are slender movements in each frame. In some you can see their angelic tails and in others you can glimpse their faces. Talk about adorable ! I haven ’ thymine been able to take my eyes off these three little cuddles since they hatched .
Cheta is taking parenting identical badly this year. He rarely leaves sight of the nestlings .
I believe we have, from left to right : small Bob, Middle Bob, and Big Bob. Big Bob is longer and ‘ lanky ’ than Middle Bob who is more round. Being sol much younger, Little is just little – but not that fiddling. Gosh, they are cunning. The age deviation is the same between Little and Big as it is at Dale Hollow. That is concern .
Oops !
Everyone corrode well .
thunder and Akecheta have been widening the nest cup so that all three can cable up to eat. It is far excessively difficult if it is deep and narrow. Most often the little ones have trouble getting to the front or get trampled in the serve. not here !
The three had a nice fish breakfast Thursday morning. They seemed sol sleepy when Thunder got them up for a feed .
There are some actually outstanding Bald Eagle parents out there. Cheta has matured since he first had chicks at the age of 4 two years ago. Having lost two seasons he broods, has learned to feed quite well actually, and does security. I am impress .
Jackie and Shadow at Big Bear are another superintendent couple who besides suffered for two seasons and who have just the sweetest short eaglet this year. How many feedings a day ? There were football team. It goes without saying that I wish River and Obey at Dale Hollow Lake would feed their eaglets more. The wee nestlings need less food more much .
Jackie and Shadow ’ s baby is 13 days old today. Eleven feedings. Look at all the fish on the nest. A Gold Star kin .
One of those other Gold Star Bald eagle families is Harriet and M15 at the SWFlorida Bald Eagle nest. Their two this season, E19 and E20 are taking turns going higher and higher in the nest tree as they prepare for fledging. We will miss these two and their antics. They are extremely healthy and well prepare for support in the angry. Do you remember how excite you were as Christmas approached and hatch at this nest ? now fair spirit at them ! They were the first gear eaglets of the season ( on streaming cam ) to hatch if I remember correctly .
Both E19 and E20 were enjoying the breeze up on the branches this morning. They look healthy ! That is capital.
Jasper and Rocket at the NEFlorida Bald Eagle nest of Gabby and Samson are flapping their wings. It is not going to be long until they branch. Two actually beautiful eagles – spectacularly gorgeous .
It ’ s a dazed late dawn at the NEFlorida nest in Jacksonville. Look at how big these two are. They are waiting for a fish rescue !
Beautiful Mum Gabby keeps watch over the nest with her two 2022 hatches .
Both Middle and Little ( or Little and Mini ) eat well at the Captiva nest Thursday morning. Andy brought in a fish at 10:29:30. Both were hungry. I continue to say that this is a good sign. Lena even had some nice fish left for her. At the both were full and wanted to watch the people on the fish boat below .
It is hot in Florida today and all the news in the state is about avian Flu. I sure hope these four miss that. We should know today or tomorrow the results on big from the UGA Vet School .
Both chicks are hungry but luck close at Middle. He wants all the small innards and Lena doesn ’ t want him to eat it peculiarly. He has his sass open wide .
Both of the chicks are good behaved and Lena feeds Middle some beginning and then goes to Little. Neither are submissive to the other. The nest is very sedate .
Middle is full moon and has gone to the side to see the boats and to get some air travel. Look he is indeed hot. Yes. My telephone says it is 27 C. One of the hottest days so far .
There is pisces exit for Lena. She will enjoy the tail of the Sheepshead. You can see little under her forget wing. His feathers re coming in adept nowadays .
then cute. The pair of them together washing the boats. Best buddies .
Middle and Little were having some more pisces around 12:30 Thursday. Lena is a great Mom keeping them hydrated and shading her ever growing babies .
B15 a the Berry College is up on the alight this morning. Making more and more build up. What a gorgeous dame !
right on time. big Red and Arthur now have their second egg of the 2022 season. It was laid at 11:05 Thursday good morning .
The egg is wet and easy and Big Red will let it cool and harden earlier attempting to lay on it or it would break .
The only thing about Big Red that looks 19 years old are her feet .
How gorgeous. If you have never watched a Red-tail Hawk nest then you should join in with Big Red and Arthur. There is a moderate chew the fat with experts that is open a few hours a day. It is amazing what you can learn and the fabulous Laura Culley, a long time falconer, will be on board .
here is the link to one of Cornell ’ sulfur cameras on the nest. vitamin a far as I am aware, there are only 2 RTH nests on streaming cam in the universe. egg 3 will be expected on the 19th !
There is capital news program coming out of the Loch of the Lowes nest. Laddie, LM12 arrived first in the UK on the 13th. He was joined by his mate Blue NC0 nowadays. How deluxe. Both made it family for another fantastic Scottish Osprey breeding season !
Rutland Water ’ s Manton Bay is being worked on by the female, Maya. She arrived back in the UK on 15 March. Normally her and her match arrive within half an hour of one another. No sign of Blue 33 yet. It is early days in the Osprey migration from Africa .
Port Lincoln Osprey posted this along with their news on their FB of other Osprey nests and platforms. Everyone noticed that Ervie was missing a claw when he was final on the barge eating his puffer. The station was on 13 March. I found tracking information for Desy and the Phantom but could not find Ervie ’ second. He is finely and staying about Port Lincoln.
