They grow up so fast!

[warning for visible raptor prey in the screenshots]

Firstly, the estimated hatching day for the first Osprey chick at nest #1 of Satakunnan sääkset is tomorrow! It's been really stormy today, and the parents haven't given us many peeks at the eggs yet.

Shift change. Ossi left, Alma right. No pip visible on the eggs, but it's hard to tell. There's chirpy noises that sound like a chick talking inside the egg, though.
 

Meanwhile at SWFL Bald Eagles, fledglings E17 and E18 have been away from the nest for a couple of days in a row for the first time (E17 was last seen on Sunday evening, E18 on Monday morning). They're old enough to start leaving on their big eagle adventure as independent juveniles, so it's possible they have. Stay safe out there!

The Cornell Redtail chicks are getting so big already!

Look at that wingspan! Even on the littlest one (second screenshot).

The Berkeley Peregrine chicks, too. They have almost changed into their juvenile plumage by now, and like hanging out on the lights at the edge of the roof. They're not quite close enough to the edge to fall if they stumble, and there's a ledge not far below if they do, so I try not to worry about that. And as the text on the screenshots indicates, they can be expected to fledge very soon!

What a cutie.

What he spotted was of course a food delivery. An excellent mantling of the prey!

Meanwhile his brothers are getting fed at the nest.
