Nest Watch – Monday, July 23, 2012, Are Fledglings Beginning to Wander?

PLEASE READ


2012 Nesting Season!

The PH nest of ... K-10/m & K-26/f ... has 1 chick that hatched on April 13th and was banded on June 10th as A-84/Marcus(m) and fledged on 6/29.

The SC nest of ... A-40/m & A-27/f ... has Twins that hatched on April 8th and April 11th and were banded on June 8th as A-81/Buster(m), fledged 6/21 & A-82/Phoebe(f), fledged on 7/2.

The TH nest of ... K-81/m & K-82/f ... had 1 chick that hatched on March 29th. A fox took the eaglet during the early hours of April 20th.

The WE nest of ... K-01/m & Wray/f ... has Triplets that hatched on March 29th, March 30th and April 3rd and were banded on May 25th as K-27/Athena(f), fledged on 6/27 & K-24/Megwich(m), fledged on 6/25. The youngest eaglet, #3, was too small to get wingblings so has two leg bands instead and is known as 5Z/Ge-nii(f), fledged on 7/12.

Check out the dates on the Calendar ... top right of this page ... for further information ... videos etc.

The eaglets are growing fast and it is interesting to see the kind of prey/food that the adults are bringing to the nests.

Please continue to post observations in the usual way ... should you observe a parent switch ... or notice that the adult is not on the nest ... it would be helpful to all of us ... if the time/s could also be noted/posted ... along with whatever-else you observe happening on the nest at that time.

Times of events on a nest are a great help to those of us who video when we are editing the footage.

Remember Dr. Sharpe has indicated in the past, that he also wants us to simply enjoy the experience of watching all the happenings on the nests ... and learn more about these magnificent birds ... through the wonder of the Nest Cams.



Just a few Gentle Reminders about posting on this thread. (Helps to save time when reading through it.)

Please remember that it is the CHANNEL ISLANDS NESTS ONLY...either on or off camera...that we post our observations/comments about.

There are FOUR nests with cameras online...so it is important to know WHICH NEST you are observing.

Please put the Initials at the start of your post...

These nests are all in California...so it's Pacific Time on this coast.

We prefer that the Quote Button is not used on this thread...and if you must use it...because you are referring to something on a previous page...then take TEXT only...never captures or video.

Thanks!

“A request from Dr. Sharpe”

To make it easier for the biologists to see the prey deliveries, please limit the use of the blue fish to prey deliveries only.

Begin your post with the nest initials, followed by the time of delivery & the blue fish.

Thank you!

Bringing Forward:

After hours of working on the feeds yesterday, it seems, at least for my computers, that the embedded media players don't seem to work with Firefox running on Windows XP. Therefore I've added a second all cams page with only Ustream feeds. It is at http://www.iws.org/interactive_nestchat_allUstream.html. There is also a link above the West End cam on the page with the media player streams.

SC 3.55.
Cam all whacko, nest looks empty.


WE 3.55.
Has been very quiet since 3am, nest empty

5.16
Dawn is breaking, still very quiet

WE 5.23
Believe I hear distant eaglet calls.

5.41
The calls continue

WE 5.44
Wray flies in from the lower left and to the middle peak. She calls and trumpets. So far, the eaglets remain in the distance

WE 5.50
Eaglet calls get closer and closer. One sings. Wray calls and trumpets.

5.52
Whines and cries are heard. Still not real close. Large fishing boat goes right.

5.55
Then another fishing boat goes right

WE 5.57
Sounds like 5z and K27 calling off nest somewhere. Wray sits atop the middle peak facing left.

6.05
Wray has done some preening and now faces the rear. Eaglets still call to her

6.12
Wray calls out.

WE 6.19
Wray flies off to the left. Eaglets go quiet

It's not long before the chicks start calling again.

WE 6.28
Eaglet flies in from the right and over the large peak. It flies down between and appears to land at the right rear behind the 2nd ridge ???

6.30
Wray returns to the large peak from the left. 5z calls out. Wray calls and trumpet. Eaglet flies past her to the left, then comes in on the right onto the nest. It is K27. Nest Cam is zoomed way in.

6.31
Cam moves and zooms in to show Wray on the peak

WE 6.33
Cam returns to the nest and shows K27 eating something. Must have brought it with her ????

6.39
K27 calls out while she eats

WE--Adult on left tor

K27 on nest and having breakfast

That is interesting JOJO that K27 brought food to nest. possily adult delivered it to her near by and K27 decided to bring it to the nest?

Karen, I thought there was a fish or two left on the nest yesterday from the double/triple delivery that no one touched. But it would seem more feesible that she brought it with her ???? IDK
