Eagle Cam

Good pics from both of you, thanks.

Scyll - please put the link for the Odin & EJ here again. I know you have done so before but I can't find it - 'cos I'm stupid!! MM xx

All three eaglets have just finished feeding in the nest although I could only hear them as the camera is static.

[Scylla]

I've just been trying to record that view but can't get my program to match the screen size - my fault I expect but you know how impenetrable software developers' instructions can be

I see there's a notice saying they will leave the cam on for as long as they see the birds. [EDIT - Sorry Foxy, you already said that! ]

Odin the Magnificent has brought in 9 fish by just after 8pm Just one more before midnight to beat his record, but it's not looking hopeful.

EJ, Odin, Star and Storm can be found at www.carnyx.tv/CarnyxWild/WildlifeCameras/Scotland.aspx


Lovely clip here of Star "wingercising". They should be ringing the birds very soon - they take them away from the nest into the centre, all very traumatic

Lovely Hanow, but I kept holding my breath until the very end - thought something nasty was going to happen. MM xx

[Scylla]

Yes, I felt sure that magpies or agile cats would spoil the idyllic scene, but it was a happy ending

MagicMa's PC has broken down I hope this will cheer her up when she's able to log on here again.

Chick #1 (Storm, I think) has been tagged and is being replaced in the nest. Chick #2 (Star) is put in the bag for her turn, and the unhatched egg is taken for investigation.




Here's Chick #2 being replaced in the nest. The man tries to move the big stick but is unsuccessful, it must be so firmly wedged!




Chick #1 took ages to recover, even stayed huddled down while Star managed to get up for some dinner.

Very tired today again.

Hi Scyll - have emailed you. As you can see, I am back 'on' again but don't know how long for.

Of course, this is my first port of call!!

Thanks for the vids ^^^^^ MM xx

[Scylla]

The osprey chicks (tho they might need to be called juvies now) have well and truly recovered from their trauma yesterday. They are called Tore (Star, a female) and Bynack (Storm, a male). Named after local landmarks.

Bynack has been seen chewing at Tore's tracker backpack


Don't know if you have seen this already but I just came across a video of the Decorah eagles being banded. I am downloading it onto my hard drive to make it easier to navigate, maybe skip some of the tree-climbing Use YouTube Downloader: download.cnet.com/YouTube-Downloader/3000-2071_4-10647340.html

Hi Scyll, I'm lost now without the Eagles!! I keep popping in but things are too technical for me these days!

Would you put the link up for Perigrines please, it's probably here somewhere!! Maybe that will give me a reason to live!! MM xx
