Latvian Golden Eagle Nest

[Marfo]

Hello Im new here. Don't know how to post an image.

Hello dare2dance, welcome to this forum!

To post an image you need a hosting service for your images like Photobucket (paid) or picr.de which is in German but free and very easy to use. There are more but I don't know them all.

There is a Questions and help page here where you can find lots of information on how to add images, videos etc. here is the 'adding images' page:

Hello everybody!
The baby chick has a lot of food now!
Well done Spilve! Yesterday she brought a hare, today, it seems, a bird! She is not only a good mom, but also a great hunter! And Virsis?..

[Marfo]

[...] She is not only a good mom, but also a great hunter! And Virsis?..

All Virsis wants is to ly on the nest... We have known that for years

Virsis brought a bird. Good man!
I'll take back my words...

[Tatyana]

12.44 Well done, Virsis! He brought the booty. I think this is a bird.





Virsis soon flew away, and Spilve fed the baby again.

[Marfo]

But what bird is it?
Big beak, orange feet.
Pity the stream is so bad, pictures are not great

[Marfo]

16:36 I believe Virsis brought a marten...

edit: Or a cat?
edit 2: a little fox.

I don't think that Spilve was hunting. Virsis is hunting and brings the prey to a handover place, if it is to heavy to bring it in the nest. Spilve was eating twice , then she brought the rest from the mountain hare to the nest.

........*edit: U. Bermanis is a biologist i.a.

I know who it is. And I know that it is a artificial nest. I'm a member n the DD forum too since 2015 :-)

Hello all,

It's getting confusing with the booties on nest for me.
How things are changing so quickly...

One Pic from today at 14:41 when Spilve returned:
Little One falls on its back.
Spilve makes too much wind when landing

Yes, suddenly there is an abundance of prey!

17:47
Spilve stretches and leaves. The kid is surrounded by prey.
Yesterday is a long time ago.

17:57
Virsis in.

good morning

thank you all for great pictures and comments.

6:57 second feeding today. Pictures are taken from my video. So, there is no time stamp






Super zoom video

[Black swan]

Good Morning

Thanks for pics and great Video, Liz
Little one likes clearly visible (bigger), bloody bites. Not the tiny morsels

(Too bad no zoom camera here, I like the full screen mode, but then no pictures can be taken)

8:05 Spilve eats herself (also a bird leg from the right side)
Baby not interested in tiny deals
8:09 spilve off
8:10 Virsis is coming


around 9am Virsis on nest, covered baby
Spilve to hear but not to see
I wonder what Spilve does close to nest:
loud excited calls and back and forth fluttering
as if she hunting something...
9:01 Spilve comes into the nest with a stick
9:02 Virsis leaves

I guess she sees danger, trying to chase it away. As far as I know GE's take their prey by surprise, they won't warn them by calling so loud.
9:04 Spilve still calling on the nest. There is something in the sky she doesn't like.

Nice video Liz.
