Haven't posted anything on these guys in a while...all is well!



An adult bald eagle has around 7,200 feathers. Eagle feathers come in a variety of types, including:

    Primary feathers, which can be spread out like fingers on a hand to reduce drag.
    Secondary feathers, which can be moved down to increase drag or up to reduce it.
    Tail feathers, which are used for steering.
    Coverts, which make the wing thicker in front, so that air will flow faster over the top of the wing.

The Friends of Blackwater are proud to announce the following winner in our 2014 Eaglet-Naming Contest.

Winner: Cheryl Keosky from Saratoga Springs, New York with her names of Glider and Chaser. We thought the older chick (likely a female by her big size now) would be called Glider and the younger chick would be called Chaser -- since he's looking like he might be a smaller male who will be chasing his big sister around the Refuge once they're flying.

Cheryl works with people who are Adults with Developmental Disabilities, and every year when the bald eagles lay their eggs she shows them the Eagle Cam and they watch the chicks grow. Cheryl has entered the contest in five previous years, so we thank her for being persistent in entering her names.

Cheryl will receive a certificate and a gift from our Eagle's Nest Gift Store.

Thanks to everyone who participated in our Eaglet-Naming Contest. We always appreciate all our entries because they help make the contest a real event. If your entries didn't win this year, hang on to them and you can use them again in a future chick-naming contest.

Congratulations to Cheryl! And much thanks to all our participants.

Nest Update

01/01/15:

We've seen an eagle pair mating on the Osprey Cam, and since we know our eagle couple likes to perch on that platform, we're hoping it was them. If so, we might have an egg by mid January.
