Re: SW Florida Eagle Cam 2021~2022
Question of the day.
3 s'caps before you answer.
Ready ? E20. Attic. Here it comes...
12:59 pm Wait for it.....
12:59 pm Rouse
12:59 pm OK question !! Is a rouse involuntary reaction vs a shake which is voluntary ?? Rouse seems to me, could be kind of compared to goosebumps, that pop up on a humans arm. You can always see when the eagle is about to rouse. (I always talk to my camera and say, here it comes). The feathers start to stand. They plump all up and out...then the rouse.
Anybody know ?
Thanks for playing peeps!

1405 Adult flies to office oak*** good question lovinnature. I have asked that before. To me it seems like an autonomic nervous system function, but I think I was told that the eagles are able to control their rousing. It sure just comes out of nowhere. I love to watch the process. They are supposedly very relaxed and comfortable in their environment when this happens. I will check my resources. But maybe Journi or MaryF knows.
1406 Adult flies out of office oak
1407 Adult (?M15) on pond edge. E20 still in palm

Re: SW Florida Eagle Cam 2021~2022
From 2003 Avian Care Manual pg 42 “Birds … .perform an action known as rousing when they erect their feathers and shake vigorously.” I think this suggests it’s voluntary. Please, JudyB, is this appropriate for here, or do we need to take Q&A to the chatter page?Suemac wrote: ↑Tue May 17, 2022 2:12 pm*** good question lovinnature. I have asked that before.

Re: SW Florida Eagle Cam 2021~2022
Purely voluntary, lovinnature. You never see an eagle rouse during flight or during a heraldic pose.lovinnature wrote: ↑Tue May 17, 2022 1:48 pmOK question !!

Raising their hackles, however, is involuntary, a natural reaction to adverse events; e.g., having their talons trodden by a recalcitrant mate when remodeling the nest, or some such palaver.

Here is my video coverage for 5-16-22.
Link: https://youtu.be/W8tZeoN42dk
"SWFL Eagle Cam 5-16-22. E20's busy Monday; fishing/swooping; preening, watching, soaring. "
Monday's are made for getting things done. E20 does just that, starting the day trying to catch a fish or duck. E20 will spend time in the nest tree, preening and watching the area. One of the adults flies into the pond area; however, E20 does not fly there. E20 moves to the treetop branch, watching to the S. E20 leaves the nest tree and soars beautifully to the S, drifting out of view to the SE. Cam1/Cam2/Cam3. Time stamps provided.
Here are a few scaps from the video.
5-16-22 All three scaps.
0614. Harriet sounds reveille to get the day started. 1120. E20 tracking. 1320. E20 leaves the nest tree to soar.
