This is as exciting as being buried alive.

This is an awesome find, LaT. Thanx for sharing.

So cool to check in and watch the chicks being fed. There are two nesting pairs of eagles up the mountain from me but we're lucky to see them flying overhead once or twice a year. This is better.

Not to hijack this thread, but I just gotta say it......

Yay!! Another Red Green fan!! Woooo - Hooooo!!!!!

Cleveland brought in Peregrine falcons some years ago to control the pigeon population downtown as well. I don't think they are on webcam, though. They had been nesting on the window ledge of some office in the Terminal Tower building, and those working there would send in pics of the nest to a local TV station.

Great idea to use the falcons for pigeon control, rather than poisons.

Yet moreso, than you waxing poetic on your, self perceived, perfection!

LaT:

I have been peeping back and forth all day at the babies. Absolutely fascinating. Mama just brought home a carcass of some sort and is tearing it up to feed the babies. I am hooked. I love it when they babies get rambuncious < ?sp > and start flappig their little wings.

Theres a nesting pair of Falcons in the downtown Boise nesting site again this year, and there was at least one egg in the nest earlier this morning.

Theyre doing a great job of keeping the pigeon population under control but now we need to do something about the wild geese that are trying to take over.



There were four eggs a couple of days ago.

I watch them as often as I can. The babies are getting sooo big. It is a huge education with vagus nerve rushes, I love it. This is a wonderful cudo to technology where I can see their nest and all the goings on. Sometimes it is too nail biting but so far all is safe and sound in the Decorah Eagle nest!

Hmm I am trying to see how I can add a picture from my desktop but cannot seem to locate how to do this. I thought I saw how to do it before, hmmmm, I wonder...

I see it I hit Reply I can choose a file but the screen grabs I have of the eagles is not supported here. I have such a cute pic (or a thousand) too!

My Sweetie took me up the parking deck of the building where he works to show me the red-winged hawk nest in the tree below - which is in the middle of the largest city in Arkansas.

Three chicks, just starting to get their flight feathers, and huge feet! VERY cool to see.



Sanity -> RE: For the nature (raptor) lovers among us! (4/22/2011 6:08:46 PM)


I looked out and saw tonight that a Swainson's hawk had returned this year and was patrolling the skies over my field, except this evening there are two of them.

Thanks again to ken and panda for helping me to identify them last year, and thanks again anyone I may have missed

I just shot these pictures about an hour ago

Sanity -> RE: For the nature (raptor) lovers among us! (4/22/2011 6:10:39 PM)

The pair, I had to crop the shot a lot as they were kind of far away by the time I was able to get to the end of my field

That is so neat you are so close to them to take photos! I have been watching them daily since I saw this message board!

TY  LT, I am really enjoying this cam.



JstAnotherSub -> RE: For the nature (raptor) lovers among us! (5/8/2011 4:41:57 PM)

The babies are huge!!!!! I swear one looks like he wants to fly already.

Are you talking about those eagles? I've been watching them since they hatched. The babies look like little buzzards to me, but they're finally starting to grow in real live feathers. They will be flying in a month or so, I bet.

I caught this fellow on one of my photoshoots this spring. Can anyone ID him for me? This family of hawks lives in my office park. Sometimes they are clumsy and bang themselves against the glass windows.

Roman, where are you? Around here the most common hawk is the red-tailed. I've got one who perches in a tree halfway down my driveway a lot.

I'm in the Southeastern US. Where are you? That hawk is kind of reddish. Maybe it is a Red tail.

I thought this thread was about something majestic and interesting... Me.

Instead it's just you avian sycophants fawning over some feathery pieces of flying garbage.

TALK ABOUT VELOCIRAPTORS.
