Duck and parrots at eagle nest

The duck continues to incubate her five eggs at the Sydney White-bellied Sea-eagle nest, and is visited by a flock of rainbow lorikeets.

She's been all mine for two years today.

New egg at the White-bellied Sea-eagle nest, too, with a twist

It's a duck egg!

It's outside nesting season for the eagles at the Sydney White-bellied Sea-eagle nest, and a duck has chosen the empty nest as a good spot to lay and incubate her eggs. A duck nested there during the off season last year, too, perhaps the same one. The nesting wasn't successful then, but perhaps this year she will have better luck. In any case, seems the eagle cam is a duck cam now.

Meanwhile the latest news I've heard of the eagles is that a juvenile sea-eagle found in the area had a three-week stay at wildlife hospital to recover from an injury, and has been successfully released back into the wild healthy and banded. It's believed to likely be one of the chicks from this nest, and looking at this news video about it, that does look very much like SE27.

Good luck to all of you modern dinosaurs out there, eagle and duck alike.

New season and new egg at SWFL eagles

Harriet has laid the first egg of the 2021-2022 season at the Southwest Florida Bald Eagle nest, at 15:48:56 EST yesterday. Looking forward to another successful season of eaglet-raising.

Yes, that.
