There was a terrible fight last year, with attacks from other Eagles with
their Talons...the mother never surfaced.
Aww. :(

Watching these eagle cams can be so sad sometimes.

It can be sad, Evalie...yes.
Fascinating, tho.

Hoping

Great capture Evalie

Good way to get people engaged having a camera set on a nest there is a camera on a Peregrine nest near me

I know some people don't like them eating other birds but the bird they eat also eat other animals they don't seem to mind that though...

Other fledged sometime over the bank holiday weekend Some House sparrows too

More exciting news is the presence of Hobbies in the wood I've had them there the past few years but usually only late September when I hear them Heard them this evening though and will be trying to keep an eye on them

Also no Swift activity at home but at work one or two were flying up to the barn wall although most holes are taken by the sparrows

Should put some boxes up for them as there seems to only be a small population


Also a vole was wandering about while I was cleaning a wagon nice surprise

This week my daughter was at a library across the street from the school where she works waiting for the say to start. The library is about 50 yards from the lake. As she was standing there, a bald eagle swooped down and flew 12 feet directly over her head. She immediately texted everyone in the family. Quite the experience to remember. The rest of us are all a bit jealous.

I love birds. I haven't gone 'proper' bird watching yet but when I go on walks I love to absorb the nature, and the birds. A few weeks ago on a walk, there were about 7 galahs in a tree eating, and one was hanging upside-down trying to get his food. We always get willy-wag tails pigeons, lorikeets, butcher birds and new holland honey eaters at our house, sometimes with the occassional ibis, crows and magpies too. I have also seen these other small greenish-brown birds but I wasn't sure what they were.

Additionally, around the suburb I've seen red winged black cockatoos, galahs, corellas, pukekos, Australian wood duck, pacific black duck.

Next year I am studying vet nursing then after that will do veterinary studies and eventually ornithology. I'd love to take care of birds.
