A screen shot taken early morning Feb 10th by Patty Frothingham. [Patty is an experienced photographer who has provided some of the best photos of our Bald Eagle pair from 2013 and 2014.] This is her first post on our website, and she made it by just sending an email to a special address and voila’ it appeared! So anyone who’s...

It’s a very rainy night in GA…thunder, etc. Some people have been having trouble getting on the cam…so if you’re one of them…just stay tuned. The answer to a previous post about the kind of noisy cat complaining in the background. It’s just a plain grey and white rescue, now lucky INDOOR cat.

There is a frequent sound of a distressed animal (cat-like complaining) that can be heard on the bird cam. It turns out the house right next to the Owl’s tree has an indoor cat that is in a screened in porch….that evidently would like to be elsewhere. If you understand cat language… it sounds pretty mad and some of it...

Mobbing is when birds group together and appear to be mobbing a bird for their own protection…to drive it away. There are a number of issues. Often various species mob a bird such as a hawk or owl. In our case it’s unlikely they can drive our Owl off her nest or the eggs will be unprotected ..more of an...

Earlier this afternoon, Mom got up to stretch and showed us the two owlets. They are little balls of fluff at this point and it’s hard to figure out where one stops and the other begins. Mom continues to do battle with that darned stick. The stick was placed there by our Bald Eagle last time it came by –...

At 6:15 this morning, 2/7, Mom brought a prey item back to the nest.  With its long legs and really long toes, I suspect this was another rail – the long toes help to keep them from sinking into the muck when they roam about the salt marsh. Here’s a short video that also shows the owlets and their relative...

This video shared courtesy of one of our Twitter followers this evening at 7:18 PM. Mom steps away for a few minutes and the two siblings are able to show their stuff together. Wonder how long it will be until we can’t tell them apart!  Welcome little one!

About 7:40 this morning, Dad stopped by with food for Mom and owlet. Mom’s pretty excited when she hears him coming and he hangs around a bit, glares at the camera (“You looking at me?”) and departs. Mom eats some, not all, and then shares with owlet. Today could be the day when the second egg hatches. The first was...

Here’s some fairly clear video of this morning about 7:00 am. Mom has some prey in the nest from earlier. (Did anyone see whether she brought it or whether Dad dropped it off?) She begins feeding, sheltering the owlet from the wind and rain with her wings, and also holding herself up with the wings so she can use the...

At 16:18 Mom got up to stretch and gave us the first glimpse of the new hatchling! Not obvious but that’s the chick spreading it’s wings and taking a step in the very closeup shot!
