I swore to myself I'll not watch this season... but how can I do ?? :brknhrt:

White bellied sea eagles in Sydney - SE23 and SE24..

unfortunately I have to stop watching this very earlier than I thought - hoped

so many nests are.... cursed.

Wonderful video!
Quite impressive to see all those eagles. The audio is great also. It almost (almost) sounds like Melle! And another Simba having a "hissy fit"
A great way to start my cafe matin/morning coffee.
:coffee2:
Merci. :)

Great video from Sasse of all the eagles bathing. That was some vigorous bathing! I loved the juvie that was half white/half black - very striking feathers.

Glad that Halley fledged successfully. How is Rachel's leg doing now?

congratulations Halley ! I wish I see you this morning on the nest for the night... but you aren't. stay safe baby :osprey:

in Smola melle is coming back very often to sleep and loves leaving the nest when the sun is rising. like on his fledge day. Elle did only a few appearances here and there but never stayed long. she'll probably leave first and early.
the most surprising is that we don't see the parents a lot. baron sometimes, flying by or delivering fishes but we only saw baroness once after kids fledge, when she brought prey to Melle as a congratulatory gift. I don't remember having heard her. she had a weird behaviour several times during the season so I feel concerned :ohmy:

news from D32. that's so great he is with half big brother D2O :rh: :woohoo: :thumlft:
FB_IMG_1564934427049.jpg
:vid: ~ New wrap, new roomie ~

Last week, D32 had his (this is still an educated guess on gender) wrap changed on the right leg. Why still a wrap? Just like a human who has had a broken leg bone, supportive material is still used for several weeks after the cast is removed (think walking boot). D32 still needs a bit of support as he moves about the 10x20’ enclosure. New roomie? Yes, he’s sharing quarters with our best “model eater,” education bald eagle - Decorah (FKA D20).

And for DN9 and D33 !

The GoPro camera was mounted in a corner of the 20x60’ flight pen to get video of the eaglets first flights. In this pen are D33 and DN9 (both female) and Allamakee and Calmar (both male). Enjoy!

A soft-release at SOAR is still the plan for the hatch-year 2019 bald eagles once each is ready for release. Supportive care can be provided to the eaglets at SOAR. A soft-release is one where after the ready patient is used to eating and navigating in that flight pen, the hack window / door is then opened and the bird can leave when ready. This flight pen is then left empty, with the window open, and food available until Kay (SOAR executive director) is sure that the released birds are not returning. These birds can also indicate they are not ready by not leaving. Appropriate food (i.e. a roadkill deer) can also be left at the pond on the property and at a feeding station just outside the pen opening to give them an extra chance at getting food after they leave. A soft release is more like leaving the nest. The soft-release option with the new 20x60’ flight pen was included for just this reason.

Not only can SOAR provide supportive care, as needed, and is less stressful on the young eagles. Right now at the Decorah Hatchery there is an unrelated male observed at the nest. SOAR / Kay certainly does not want to put other eagles into that situation and have the eaglets get chased off.

:ty: Pascale for the SOAR updates.
Fascinating information on a Soft Release. They have the best of both worlds!

Way to go D33 and DN9.
Just look at those Eagle eyes on D32. How determined! :yes:

and what about the less spotted eaglet "Grincs" in Latvia. he is 57 days old now.
Less spotted eagles raise one chick per season with very little exception. one hatch or siblicide :cry1:
Grincs was a alone egg and chick and he is doing very well. they eat voles, moles, frogs, occasionally birds.
thanks Philippe for introducing her to me.
here is the link https://youtu.be/uFHZ4a-G3-A

Grincs-:Latvian less spotted eaglet
In Sydney things turn quiet now because lots of food. both are almost equal in size now.

just took this this morning - afternoon Aussie time. chicks are 12-10 days old. there's still some bonking but ... better.
