I haven't seen any reports about our youngsters catching their own food.  They must be close to becoming totally independent.  Comments?  Thoughts?

Hi Bonnie! The last few times I saw Genesee he was stooping but I didn't witness the end results. I've also seen Cadence stooping as well but no catches for her that I saw. The ST juvie sightings have not included more than a couple unsuccessful stoops. 

 

Whoa!

CAPE CORAL, Fla. – State and federal wildlife officials are investigating after a tree that was home to a family of bald eagles was chopped down......

 

Neat little video Bobbie! 

Have a look at these beauties! I have seen a few - like the Bee-Eater and Egret - in Ireland... the excitement! The others, not so much. Only on the Continent. Are there rarities that grace our area/ROC? I would be interested to hear about them.

(Hmmmm... perhaps "two" is not quite "a few"...)

A few years ago Monk Parrots were found nesting here. Not sure if they're still around-haven't been seen in a while that I know of.  

I wish they'd remove it now! 

  Brrrrr!!! 

Super duper Bobbie!!! 

Fantastic! 

 

The delight of it!
