I check the progress of the baby Bald Eagles on Santa Cruz Island off Southern California every day.
There are two nests at the link. One has a single chick and the other has three. I can't help but wonder how differently the solo one must view the world so far. https://www.nps.gov/chis/learn/photo...gle-webcam.htm |

I have pix of birdies to share with you. Some editing in the phone is required first though.

When it's rainy, mom provides shelter for the little ones. Now that they're not so little, she can't keep them completely covered. But they're big enough now that they can survive it.
All this instinctive behavior is really amazing. Just built right in. |

Split-second thought upon see that pic:
That eagle has the biggest knees I've ever seen on an eagle.

Test of workflow successful. I took the picture last night using the camera in my phone, resized it using a newly downloaded app (PhotoResizer, cryptic, I know...) and uploaded it from my phone. This was done using the hotel wifi, but could also have been done using mobile data.
Yay! Resizing, *not* merely cropping pics on the phone has been a giant post-blocking pain in the ass.

Birbiplane...
Quote:
Since then a local re-introduction project has increased the numbers substantially and they are now a frequent sight hereabouts. We had one land in the front garden a few years ago and occasionally they settle in the tall trees behind the house. Sadly, I found one bird that had flown into a power cable and severed a wing. I took the poor soul to a nearby wildlife hospital and they were hopeful that it would survive in captivity as the point where the wing was severed is the point used in amputation and doesn't bleed too badly. Unfortunately, it succumbed about a fortnight later.

On 5/31 last year I reported that the Bald Eagle chicks on the Santa Cruz Island live cams took their first flights.
It looks like the first ones will do so today or tomorrow. The three siblings on the bottom cam are really active this morning. https://www.nps.gov/chis/learn/photo...gle-webcam.htm |
