Title: West End Eagle's Nest 2010/2011
Description: Here a Chick! There a Chick!
Cumbrian - April 4, 2011 08:21 PM (GMT)
As you know All Eagles All The Time 2010/2011 is an Archival/History in Videos and Still captures showing the various stages throughout the year in the lives of the Eagles on the West End Nest on Catalina Island.
We have followed them through the Nestorations and then onto the Eggs/Incubation stage and now we have finally reached the most exciting stage the Hatching of the Chicks and their Early Development...... so this is where we will put the Chicks and their Development stages ... because that leads us into eaglets and fledglings.
As you know all these Videos/Stills and Captures .. have been selected .. as their favourites ... by the members who have captured them on Nest Watch.
You can see more videos and still pictures by visiting the Daily Observations thread. Also known as Nest Watch.
Again we ask you not to post comments in this thread Viewing Only Please. This will enable faster viewing by Dr. Peter Sharpe and the IWS Team ... for record purposes ... and also for Members and visitors to the forum.
Capturers are asked to wait until Cumbrian or EDblue (Eagle Duo) posts the first thread of each day before posting or reserving a space for your captures of the day to keep continuity to the archives.

have room underneath the adult to wrestle :lol: .....

WE HAVE ANOTHER HARRY! :o April 06, 2011
Superman & Wray...
With parents like that it just makes sense that the littlest chick would already be wandering out of the bowl!!! :o :lol:
....................................Had a little help from behind this time out of the bowl. rofl
........................................
It's probably good that one is leaving the nest bowl... Now they can concentrate on being fed instead of bopping wars. :P
