2016

By neighdoctor June 6, 2016 H&G nest report 06/06/2016

The first photo is Hershey.
He came hurtling across the cove, chasing another adult eagle.
They were traveling at high speed and crossed the cove as I was shooting.
The time stamp on the second photo was 08:41:44 and the first photo of Hershey was 08:41:56.
Both birds passed so close over head that I only got partial shots of Hershey. Whew!

Quizzical’s Flight Lesson this morning

By neighdoctor May 26, 2016 Quizzical’s Flight Lesson this morning

Quizzical, video of this morning’s flight lesson. Yep, that’s Quiz that just flew across from the upper right. Now watch as Quiz comes back around and gets closer to the nest, to no avail. Bails out. And well, the next few moments I added a slow motion so you can see the crash landing. video is at https://flic.kr/p/Hs5fLH.

In the photo, the blur of wings in front of the nest and to the lower left is Quizzical. Quizzical was unhurt.
