Chicks on Banding Day May 27, 2017 Posting Guidelines
We welcome all observations and discussions about eagles here and we ask all members to treat each other with mutual respect.
For continuity please use this video symbol to introduce your video and the fish symbol to identify a fish delivery.
This is an international discussion thread and courtesy to others is expected. Be respectful and polite and refrain from comments about politics, race or religion or sexual innuendo.
Profanity, personal jabs or slams, or other inappropriate comments are unacceptable and will be deleted.
Please keep bold and color text to a minimum.
Please do not share animated or altered screen captures here.
As a courtesy to others here please do not use smilies in the body of nest observations and do not use ALL CAPS for your posts. We prefer that the Quote Button is not used on this thread...and if you must use it...because you are referring to something on a previous page...then take TEXT only...never captures or video; Thanks.
This thread is devoted to documenting the behavior of the eagles; discussion about non-eagle topics is fine when activity on the nests is slow.
Please limit the pictures in each post to no more than a total of 150,000 bytes (150KB) and to avoid horizontal scrolling pictures or scaps (screen captures) may not exceed 500 pixels wide - though it's fine to post a 500-pixel-wide thumbnail that clicks to a much larger picture. Three captures per post is recommended.
Periodically we will tidy up this thread by deleting posts that are not directly related to maintaining an accurate journal of nest observations and/or eagle discussion.
Enjoy growing along side the eagles and we hope you will participate and share your nest observations, screen captures, reports from the ground and video footage on this open forum.
