Et oui, je vais prendre des photos.

Recently we were discussing the sounds made by chicks BEFORE they hatch. Such an event is happening now at
http://www.hancockwildlifechannel.org/s ... 1010059972
This is a webcam on a Bald Eagles' nest in Hornby Island, near Vancouver, Canada.

I have just listened to a very clear little chirping sound, as Mother got up and re-settled herself down on to two eggs. The Hancock forum members report that an egg has been pipped, so the chick will emerge soon. It is certainly in good voice (so is that darned boat engine!)

I think Mother is looking into the camera and is hissing at the reflection she sees.

I heard the going-to-be-hatched chick again 2 minutes ago, when Mother got up again. There is a lot of bird song to be heard, but when the chick is calling, you will know which one it is!

Just SAW the chick.

Parent eagle is looking at it as if to say 'And where did you spring from ?'
Or, more likely a most admiring look.

Thanks to Jo for the link.

From this link the Tit is seen arriving with a large piece of food for the chicks and seems totally bewildered by the sheer number she sees before her.(5,6 or7chicks)
The link takes you to the page, then see video from 5/5/2009.

This is a report on the feeding/or not of Eagles. HWF
By David Hancock. Is he a prophet or not ?(re: virus spread due to intensive farming of Pigs and Chicken/Fowl.) Most interesting.

See the last chapters esp.

I am enjoying it very much and have recommended it to my parents -- their connection is slower than mine so they will look to see if they can rent it.

Alice you can download the film and send it to them on DVD

Post by **alice44** » June 11th, 2009, 7:12 am

I have not figured out how to download it.

Here, the DVD is given free to schools and you can buy it for 4,50 Euros.
Not expensive at all. You can probably by in nearest store.
But they, filmakers say it is shown on T.V. in 29 countries..

Here is a sickening report that one of our Golden Eagles has been killed by poison. Look at the sadness on that man's face.

Global warming, or not?

The population of polar bears is actually increasing, but don't try to report that!!
