Judy, thank you for your report on Loki! I'm glad s/he was rescued and seems to be doing well. I hope that continues and Loki gets a clean bill of health for a happy release!

5:54 a.m.: Eaglet slid down the tree limb a bit, eyeballed where s/he was going, then took off.

5:30 a.m.: Fledgling did a wing stretch and some wingersizing on the tree limb.
5:34 a.m.: Eaglet slid down the tree limb a bit, then flew down into the nest and did some trampoline-style wingersizing.
5:48 a.m.: Eaglet flew back up to the tree limb.

3:27-3:28 p.m.: Judy, I had nearly identical screenshots of the delivery of the young bird (and I agree that it looked like it was already dead).

2:04-2:16 p.m.: Eaglet came down into the nest, did some wingersizing and then returned to its perch.

12:42 p.m.: Eaglet flew up to branch.
12:46-12:48 p.m.: Eaglet moving up branch, cleaning its beak and looking around.

12:08 p.m. ctd.: Eaglet looks over at parent and calls out. Parent flies off.
12:39 p.m.: That was a good meal, whatever it was. Feeding lasted till now, then the eaglet scurried over to something else in the nest. Not sure if it's food, though.

12:08 p.m.: Food delivery. I'm not sure what the prey is. It has legs or wings, but the image is too grainy for me to tell for sure. The parent crossed the nest, and I was surprised the eaglet didn't mantle over the prey.

11:56 a.m.: Fledgling arrived at the nest.
11:56-11:58 a.m.:Looks like the eaglet may have found the fish or other prey (bird?) that was delivered earlier. S/he's eating something.

11:31 a.m.: Adult began calling out, but I didn't see anyone arrive.
11:48 a.m.: Adult calling out again.
11:51 a.m.: Adult flew off.

10:36-10:37 a.m.: Hi, Judy and all! Judy, I started watching right when you did. An adult landed in the nest with a fish. With no eaglets around to feed, the adult began eating the fish.
11:08 a.m.: Adult still at the empty nest.

Hi, Bev and all! Whew, I'm glad it was just the camera slipping. I was a bit worried when I saw that the cam had moved up a bit. I'm happy that all is well!

Question: Is there a way to create a general thread in the "Falcoln" forum? I see threads devoted to particular nests, but not a general thread for photos or screenshots. I have a screenshot of a pygmy falcon from a recent WildEarth safari drive that I'd like to share. Also, would it be possible to ...

12:30-12:33 p.m.: Feeding time again. I think C3 is getting more to eat in this round!

EDIT: 11:48 a.m.: Oscar taking the fish. (I was in between posting and watching the cam. I thought he was delivering another one, but then, after he flew off, I didn't see a fish on the nest and I wondered what had happened to the fish. I saw from Bev's post later on that he actually took the fish,...

11:42-11:43 a.m.: Feeding time! It looks like all three chicks are getting bites, though I believe the oldest is getting the most. C3 is in the back, and so is in a bad position to get past the other two in front.

4:46 p.m.: I rewound to earlier this afternoon and found a moment when one parent flew off, and another one flew in. All three little heads popped up for the incoming parent!

Wow, three chicks! Congratulations to Ethel and Oscar, and of course all who watch this nest!

11:35 a.m.: Hi, Bev and all! I don't post very often, but I do check in on the nest almost daily. I was amazed to see the number of swallows perched on the nest tree today!

10:36-11:58 a.m.: Hello, Bev and all! I'm not sure what this material is. It's a larger piece of material than that brown cloth that was brought in earlier. It's been dragged all over the nest. Right now it's sort of clumped up in the middle.

10:55 a.m.: Congratulations to Ma & Pa White Rock! It's so exciting to see a chick on this nest again.

12:00 p.m.: Feeding underway. Both chicks are getting bites. No bonking ... yet!

9:46 a.m.: Hello, Bev and all! How wonderful to see two little bobbleheads on this nest! They're getting a feeding, which ended at 9:49 a.m. The feeding started at around 9:41 a.m. , with the prey being defeathered throughout. SR3 got the first bite after pushing SR4 over. By time SR3 finally got u...

Hi, Judy and all! So excited about the new little hatchling!

Hello, Bev and all! Both eagles were at the nest at 6:04 p.m. One (I think Dad, since he looked smaller) flew off at 6:32 p.m. The other eagle (I'm thinking that was Lady) left the nest at 6:37 p.m.

I'm late to the party, but woo, hoo! Congratulations to Ma and Pa White Rock on two eggs ... finally!

Congratulations on this first egg at the Delta nest!

4:55 a.m.: I rewound a bit and saw where Res backed up to the edge of the nest, to do a poo shoot. Both eggs are clearly visible. Then she settled back down over them.
