The prey from yesterday (white, medium sized bird) was a gull. Video posted at the Flyway Chat shows the capture.  Next time, I will rewind farther!

Hope all of you have a safe and enjoyable Labor Day weekend. I will be thinking about all the labor RRP does to bring us the eagles, the nests, the cameras, the chat rooms, banding and transmitters. None of that is free, so if you are in the mood to donate to a most worthy cause, please consider RRP.

Breezy day on the Flyway. Young BEs squabbled over leftover prey late this afternoon. Lots of waterfowl in attendance. I love listening to and watching the sandhill cranes.

Lots of juvie and sub-adult BEs around today. Prey is plentiful from morning through the day.

Question for the experts -- Do most of these young BEs migrate farther south in the winter, or is this a stopping and staying place?

Hawk migration already in full swing

Big weather change overnight, from hot/humid to chilly rain. BEs watching everything.

Entertaining video for us and great skill development for this juvie to handle turtles in future. Reminded me of the Decorah eaglets playing with corn husks.  Thanks T40.

Young eagles gather in groups this morning. Must feel very Fall-ish with chill and rain.

Beautiful red sky this morning. Reminder of forest fires in the west, and all those lost 19 years ago on 9/11, and a harbinger of rain. But still beautiful.

RWBBs are gathering to migrate. Lots to see on the rewind.

Cam ops give us great views of BE gangs.  Thanks to all at RRP.

Saturday mid-day, many species to ID and enjoy watching. The GBH catching a crab is exciting on the rewind.
