Eagle Cam Highlights for 2011

Since my post yesterday, I checked the eagle cam one more time and saw a great 2011 wrap-up video by bigrediggy.  I almost cried watching it show babies from eggs to hatching, wingercizing, branching and finally flying off.  So glad all three babies made it.  I guess living next to a fish hatchery has its bennies!  No starving survival of the fittest crap.

A great way to say goodbye till next year.  Thanks for stopping in.  Comments always welcome.

Empty Nest Syndrome

Now I know what it means to have empty nest syndrome.  No kids to fly from my coop, but the eagles have definitely spread their wings and learned to fly.  What am I going to do now that they are gone?  sniff.  If you want to watch some videos on them as they spread out from the nest to eventually fly, check this out:  http://www.youtube.com/user/raptorfan81  Raptorfan has lots of videos of branching, flying, etc.  As I was trolling around looking at youtube, I  found a great video of a sudden storm on June 15, before the eaglets were quite grown or branching.  The wind started howling and the nest was rocking.  Poor babies scared to death.  Mom flew in and they mobbed her trying to get under her!  But they were just too big, so they hunkered down around her.  It’s 16 minutes long, but worth it: 

Gotta love it.  Thanks for stopping by.  Comments always welcome.
