Thank you everyone for such a wealth of golden eagle information.
I have a question that you may be able to answer. While I am aware that birds control their body temperature via the mouth and tongue, how do large nestlings such as eagles acquire water? Does the prey they consume provide enough?!

If I've been of any aid, you're welcome, JAS44. Glad you are finding the forums useful and enjoyable. Yes, that is correct. Water needs are being met through prey brought to the nest. Water is not brought by the parents in any other way. Rainfall will enter the system, but it is not necessary. There are golden eaglets being raised in my homeland of California (including in the Mojave Desert) where it is normal to not have rain for six months annually, which encompasses the entirety of nestling season.JAS44 wrote: ↑June 29th, 2022, 11:57 pm Thank you everyone for such a wealth of golden eagle information.

05:33:13 - A great grey shrike (Lanius excubitor) flies by.
05:33:48 - We know it was one of the shrikes by comparing alarm calls, and having seen the pair visually in recent days.

Many thanks for your clarification, Raven. Clearly, birds have a very efficient heat/water management system!
