UQ chick sees a parent flying overhead and he gets excited and starts wheeing. UQ then runs towards Mom LOL as he sees her back on her nest. Lucky UQ gets a nice feeding from Mom ♥ This was an important feed because this may the last time that UQ gets to see his Mom before he fledges. LOL being a single parent this season is averaging coming in about every 6-7 days. UQ chick is 233 days old today (average fledging is 240 days). With the amount of flight practice he has had over the past couple of week, UQ could very easily fledge with the next gust of wind. Thank you for watching!
Video captured & edited by Lady Hawk I took several pics yesterday.
UQ spent several times practicing his big moment!
TRYING HARD
OVER AND OVER AGAIN
ALMOST
TOMORROW IS ANOTHER DAY!
BL KB, YAY Andrew is coming. I can't believe you're getting ready for fall. Summer has flown by.... Sadie doesn't like rabbits either. She was just barking at one on our property, as if they care! LOL!... thanks for info on Mississippi low tides.
Tsk, Family events from November thru February, birthdays, holidays, company and business parties, etc.... By the time it was February, the family was sick of each other. Considering too Mike worked with his older brother full time. LOL!
Phyl, great shames... Sadie ate pizza and breadsticks! My Sadie would do that too.
... love the chicken poop eating dog shame! The chicken with a sign! LOL LOL
Clynn, love your morning pics! ED has a Master's Degree in Procrastination! LOL! I'm glad you're enjoying the Royal Albatross and Katmai Brooks Falls Brown Bears, they are special to me. Eagle-Duck was wise to open our world to many other critters. He started my interesting in the Raptors/wild birds of US/UK/Africa/Philippines, Gray Seals of Germany, ... RRP forum members/Peeps introduced Royal Albatross, Puffins/Seals of Maine and Sloths of Costa Rica to us. It's a big world out there and there are many humans working hard to bring awareness of the needs of the Raptors, Wildlife and all God's creatures great and small. Just like you do with the Wild Heart Ranch and Sea Eagles. Speaking of Raptors, I've decided American Bald Eagles may not be as attached to their nests or mates as I thought many years ago. Look how many couple changes we've had. Also, look at Iris. I've yet to understand why Louis choose a new mate and yet won't leave Iris or the nest alone
. This "Same mate forever" is not as I once thought. So, I've had a hard time accepting the mate changes at NEFL, it's not even the same eagle bloodline, so I don't watch. Lord knows, I've never gotten over SWFL Ozzie's death, but with time I've came to accept M15 with Harriet. and now a new female
. Lots to mull over there. No need for discussion, just sharing my thoughts with a friend as I walk through the forum. LOL!
... Oh I saw an interesting Blue Jay video this morning, I forgot to copy it. I'll look for it and post it. See ya!
Hi Lisa, Jeff must enjoy being able to work at home those last two days of the working week and then it's days off till Monday!
I like having Mike work in his home office too. Sadie spends hours sleeping on his couch or by his chair. They both nap together and eat popcorn during break time.
Eagles, I married into a Scorpio Midwestern family... a huge awakening for this Hawaiian! I rolled up my sleeves and knew it was going to be survival of the fittest!!!
I know that Katmai National Park - Brooks Falls is closed to hunting bears, it's a large area, and most of the BF bears hibernate in the National Parkhttp://www.adfg.alaska.gov/index.cfm?adfg=huntingmaps.closedtohunting
