We've got some Flyway videos to brighten your Tuesday night! Birdcast predicted a nice migration on August 31st and September 1st, and they were right! We saw plenty of eagles, sandhill cranes, great white egrets, and various kinds of duck, with more still to come (the 3rd and 4th are also predicted as good migration nights). I hope you enjoy these videos as much as we did, and a thousand thanks to our cam operators and video makers for finding and sharing video from the amazing Flyway!
9/03/19: Juvies Sunning Themselves & Having Fun! One Juvie Foots The Other! -
https://youtu.be/sPMReqmHifM. From Lady Hawk: "A Juvenile bald eagle is seen on a piece of driftwood sunning himself when another juvie flies & lands right next to him. He gives a little sidekick greeting and foots him and then nips the outstretched wings playfully. In regular time & slo mo! They both enjoy the beautiful day and just hang out together! Thank you for watching!". The salt-and-pepper plumage makes me think these are roughly two-1/2 year old subadults, but this video is a lot of fun!
9/02/19: stealing food -
https://youtu.be/BSaV97Y28HI. It's an eagle party! A juvenile eagle steals food from an adult at about 40 seconds. The adult isn't happy about it! It comes back and another adult swoops in, but the juvenile eagle mantles and keeps its hard-earned (stolen?) meal! More eagles come in and the juvie chases them away, ending up in the water at 1:51. After a little more chasing, it gets in a few bites starting at 3:05.
9/02/19: Early Birding-Cranes & Eagles -
https://youtu.be/w74MiEXL2hY. There is just a whole lot of pretty footage in this video: eagles, cranes, beach scenes, ducks - very much a video that gives you a feel for the Flyway! I really enjoyed it.
9/01/10: Adult, juvie eagle interaction -
https://youtu.be/FjAfzcP2Gjs. The video quality - eagles, reflections, and rippling water - is absolutely outstanding! The young eaglet flies in at 1:55 (look for its shadow to arrive before it does). It donisaur walks over to the adult, who walks away. The video procedes in this vein for a while, with the subadult drawing near and the adult moving away. At 9:53, another young eagle shows up and joins the party until juvie number one chases it away. It continues to shadow the adult. The camera operator pulls back to give us a look at all of the eagles around 13:57.
