Bird Cams Around the World

Cams are up and Ma is spending the night!

Pa came to the nest this morning and remained after Ma left at 6:57. He flew at 7:06. Both have returned since to the nest, but nobody home for now.

Ma and Pa are currently on the nest! Oops, she flew at 1:02 and he a couple minutes later!

Pa in at 9:38 with a partial food gift for Ma. She showed up a minute later and claims. Pa up to the right branch and out of view at 9:45. She finished her mammal meal at 9:52 and looked for remnants. Pa shows up on the left branch at 9:55 while Ma was messing with a stick on the rail. He joined her and took control of the stick with their usual short nips to each other, then he trimmed another stick nearby and then heads to the bowl for some work. Then back to the rail stick, to the bowl, to the rails. Ma flew at 10:02 and Pa followed. He returned at 10:16 with a stick to place, work at other railing and out at 10:27.

I hate it when Ma is not on the nest at night ...

Some pics from this morning.

843 am Dad brought in a nice big stick and was doing nestorations this morning.


938 am He left and came with breakfast for the Mrs. It looked like some form of water fowl, half eaten by Dad.


939 am Mom arrived right on his heels. Dad on the left. The prey is in front of him and not visible.


940 am Mom ate the leftovers while Dad worked on the nest. She really has trouble with that left talon. She cannot use it to hold down prey. It appears she can only use the good right talon to hold food, so she can tear off pieces. It is just amazing how she perseveres and survives.

we had an intruder female on nest this morning around 10am. Dad had borught in prey and she cam e in . Dad voiced his displeasure and then went to left branch . he flew off branch at 10:34.
female ate all the prey and then looked out back and them lay in nest. Dad came back in on the back with hay at 11:39 and female stood up . she poked in bowl and lay back down. Dad did not say anything and either did she . He left on left branch at12:02pm and she eventually left at 12:10 . she seemed very comfortable
We need to see ma as this one did look comfortable. A hurried tale of happenings just to draw your attention to it. this does not look good, in my opinion.

dad makes no move toward her or her toward him. He stays on back and then goes up to left branch and leave . she pokes in nest and lies back down

I hope someone is out there. I came in as it was brought to my attention. this really pains me. Sorry I cannot be around but I am on a needed break.

Christmas blessings fo rthem

Thanks Bev and Hi! Christmas blessings to you too. All quiet for the last hour. I am concerned for the nesting season here. Moms L leg seems more bent and she really struggles with it. It did not seem very useful to her yesterday and makes it hard for her to maneuver and balance. Despite it all, she hangs on. She has such a strong will and they are such a tight pair. Whatever will be, will be. Hoping for the best.
