Kindness Fledges - Beautiful Departure & Classic Fledge - Glacier Gardens Eagles - August 21, 2021
.
>>> "Congratulations to Kindness on a beautiful departure and fledge from the nest. Kindness displayed all the classic signs before a fledge occurs; complete with a poop shoot, and bobbing the head, moving her head, neck side to side gauging the wind and direction before taking flight. Kindness takes flight, it's a smooth, graceful departure as she flies up and out of our view. Kindness is 12 weeks/86 days old today. I captured this footage from the live eagle cam, added sound and recorded the fledge in actual time then repeated the footage in slow motion, enjoy. Congratulations Kindness and Mom & Dad on a job well done. Thanks to Glacier Gardens for providing this amazing educational opportunity into the lives of this majestic eagle family, we have enjoyed watching the family interaction."

Good Night Kindness, Mama, and Papa!
.I checked the nest tree off and on throughout the day and I saw no eagles/activity at the nest but
I saw the plastic reappear. (I thought it was an adult eagle head at first...)

9/10/21 - 12:54pm - It was really windy today and as the nest tree and branches swayed in the wind ...
I could see the plastic down towards the Secret Annex Branch.

Here is a short clip of Mama’s visit.
Link: https://youtu.be/oWzqf1Gmzm0
12:56:41. Mama flies in to the nest! Closer look at Mama’s tail feathers. This was a little tricky in some of the views. Scap is zoomed in a bit; therefore, the time ckock is not visible. 12:56:41. Mama lands.

Remember, you can enlarge scaps by clicking on them!
12:56:47. We can see Mama is molting. She looks beautiful! 12:56:55. Mama leaves. She was on the nest for 13 seconds, touch down to take off. (**Edit: it was 14 seconds. 12:56:41 to 12:56:55.). Thank goodness for the time stamp Violette added. 12:56:56. Bye Mama ! Be safe out there. I can see your tail feathers are already having some regrowth since we last saw you! That is my opinion, and without a doubt, I scapped and posted those tail feathers for ID many times.

Click on scaps to enlarge them.
12:56 continued. Scaps for ID.
This appears to be Mama’s imbalanced rectrices. This is definitely not a full set of tail feathers. The yellow arrow here points to where the tail feathers are missing (a bit more visible in this scap than the previous scap). Zoomed in a little closer. As we know, zoomed in scaps are more blurry . This scap is clear enough for ID (on Mama vs Papa, IMO).

9/10/21 - 12:56pm - An adult eagle made a quick 16 second visit to the nest...
(This eagle did not go up to the nest to check the nest out.)
9 10 21 - 1256pm - As the adult eagle left the nest, I could see their tail feathers.

Additional ID scaps from Mama’s 12:56 visit.
12:56. Here are a few more scaps. The red arrow points to the left side of Mama’s tail feathers. This is the side where she had four rectrices from the start of the season, and throughout, that I scapped and posted for ID multiple times. The yellow arrow points to the off-balance side of the rectrices. The tail feathers of an adult with a full set, 12 rectrices/tail feathers, would be in balance, whereas Mama’s are not. (Yet, anyway, and I expect we will see some growth has occurred when spring rolls around.). It will take some time for all eight to be replaced, which they should be unless there is damage to any of the follicles. Red arrow points to the left side, where Mama had four tail feathers all season, and when we last saw her. The yellow arrow points to the right side, showing the imbalance. Red arrow points to the left side, which has the four rectrices. The green arrow points to the area where Mama is missing rectrices. The yellow arrow points to what appears to be a longer feather on the right side. This may be a new growth, or IMO, more likely an upper tail covert/feather that is just high and outside in this scap (no way to know for sure in any scaps I could get). To me, the length difference is clearly apparent on the fly away. (I have probably studied how Mama uses her tail feathers more than most viewers, recorded it, and scapped it numerous times.)

To all forum viewers: if you happen to have a clear scap of the nonviable taken AFTER 6-30, please post your scap/date/time so we will have an accurate date if ours is incorrect. We have plenty of scaps of the egg already; however, if our date is incorrect I would like to be able to correct it before this forum thread closes on Monday. You can also PM me if you have any questions about it. You do have to be a forum member to send a PM (private message). The message link is on the top right side of the screen.
6-30-21 5:12AM. This scap was one of 14 posted by PeconicBay on 6-30-21 showing the nonviable egg. (Permission obtained from PeconicBay to use her scap in my post. Thank you, PeconicBay.) 6-30-21. 11:01AM. This is the last scap I have showing the nonviable egg before it was buried in the nest. roymac also has a post on 6-30 showing the nonviable egg.
