Another fledge, and more

Recent screenshots from several raptor nestcams. Warning for occasional views of prey, mostly fish in the Osprey nest ones.

Peregrine chicks Lindsay (older sister with yellow leg band, perching on the light) and Grinnell Jr. (younger brother with blue leg band, standing on the floor) at Cal Falcons are five weeks old. As the text on the screenshot says, fledge watch for these two starts next week! Not quite there yet, but their plumages are finally starting to be more big birb feather than baby fluff.

The chicks spot another moth! Lindsay tries to catch it with her foot out of the air as it flies past.

Pursuit!

And strike!

She almost got it! But no, it flies away.

Both chicks chased it around for a while, then Lindsay went after it out of the camera frame, and I don't know whether she caught it.

At the Cornell Red-tailed hawk nest, another chick has fledged! Youngest chick L4 standing at the nest, while the soon-to-be-fledgling older sibling is currently perched on the light box.

Just L4 looking very cute.

Sibling gets down from the light box...

Goes to the end of the platform, and watches intently the outside world for a while, then crouches down, and...

Flies!

L4, and L3 at the other end of the platform, watch the fledge. Your turn soon!

Just you two at the nest now, make the most of it while you can.

Fledgling spotted! As of writing this, one of the two fledglings has already returned to the nest, too. I'm still not sure which one of the older chicks is which here, general consensus seems to be that L2 fledged first and this newest fledgling is L1, though to me they look like the other way around... but, they've both fledged now, regardless of the exact order, lol.

And more screenshots of the new hatchling at nest#4 of Sääksilive Osprey nests. Older sibling N1 looking up, half-a-day-old N2 lying down.

Still the same way around, with mom Nuppu returned to the nest.

A feeding. N2 is getting its share now. Also a good view of their backs, and now that I can be sure N2 isn't wet from the egg anymore, looks like N2 is a bit darker than N1. Along with the size difference, that'll come in handy at telling them apart.

:v :v

Home alone for a moment.

Such good faces!

Also a few close looks at the faces of the Bald eagle triplets at West End of Catalina Island. Oldest chick Kana'kini is in the middle, not sure which one of her little brothers is which here.

And now she's on the right. Going by how calm and quiet the other eaglet is, I'd hazard a guess that this is middle child Sky.

Speaking of Sky, it's his turn for some beautiful sunset hovers over the nest. Youngest chick Ahote is not at the nest at the moment, having already fledged (fledge, return), and is instead visiting Turtle Rock, which seems to have become his new favorite spot.

Kana'kini watches as Sky flies up with the wind.

And then a graceful landing to the nest. Well done!

Soon after, a less photogenic, but actually pretty well controlled landing by Ahote, who returns to the nest for the night. It won't be long now that his siblings join him on his visits to the peak next door and even farther.
