The Sydney White-bellied Sea-eagle cam regular live stream came back on around noon local time today. The chicks seem to be doing well and are eating well. Younger eaglet SE28 on the left and older eaglet SE27 on the right in above screenshots.
Post includes views of prey (fish and other), and some mild sibling rivalry.
That's one of the uses for them, anyway, according to the character's name. Starting to make a new face for the chewed up cyclops raptor. Also here are some edits I've already made elsewhere on the figure.
In addition to the trims I'd already made, to have the inside of the mouth match throughout the jaws, I carved out the old surfaces to make room for the new. Those teeth can stay, as they're close enough to the edges I'll just use them as part of the lips.
Screenshots from the Sydney White-bellied Sea-eagle cam over the past almost-week. News have been a little scarce on how things are at the nest, but from what I've gathered food has also been scarcer for a few days due to bad weather, and the dynamic between the eaglets has shifted in such a way that the older eaglet SE27 has begun enforcing a strict pecking order. The increased sibling rivalry and its one-sidedness has caused the cam operators to shut off the YouTube stream for now to avoid upsetting people happening upon the nestcam. The nestcam is still streaming on Twitch, though, and updates are being posted.
The most important update, I think, is that both eaglets are getting fed, and despite the increased aggression, at least as far as I can tell there haven't been any significant injuries. Life has been tough for the younger eaglet SE28 recently, but SE28 is tough, too, and is learning ways to get by without openly challenging its sibling. Though things have been a bit more intense than usual for the past few days, sibling rivalry is normal, and the older eaglet being dominant is also normal, though it's understandably not a pleasant part of their life to watch.
There's one bonk in the screenshots, but otherwise they're from the other parts of their life (as usual, includes views of fish prey).
Her cheek is flat in the last photo because I pet her between shots. That's how much of her face is fluff.
A rainbow seen from the window where I put him to dry that bit of paint. :)
Photogenic nest visits and intense fish deliveries at Satakunta ospreys nest #3. As that may imply, includes again screenshots showing fishes at various degrees of dead.
