Eaglepedia Revisited

November 30, 2006

When the wing and tail feathers are developed, the eaglets can finally leave the nest. First flights can occur at 9 or 10 weeks of age or a bit longer, preceded by vigorous exercising and flapping. When a male and female are in the same nest, the male may fledge first. The chick will usually face the pevailing winds and while flapping, lift off the nest. Sometimes the adults will force the eaglets to fly. The first flight may be to the nearest branch above the nest. When chicks leave the nest they usually glide to a nearby tree or stump, returning to the nest tree frequently and continuing to be fed by the adults. At first they may have difficulty landing on tree limbs. If they land on the ground, they will need open space to flap their wings to become airborne. The parents will bring food to the eaglets as they continue to work on their landing and flying skills. The eagles usually stay close to the nest tree the first several weeks after fledging.

We thank those who diligently watch our eagle live cameras
and post nest observations all throughout the day. The main
purpose of our cameras is to help us monitor the nests without
having to travel to the actual sites, which are very remote. This
allows us to monitor the population and the other nests that
are even more remote and have to be physically checked by us.
If you have not watched our cameras yet, now it’s the time to
start watching! Eggs will be laid soon in, hopefully, all of the
nests and chicks will start hatching before you know it. Just
go to www.iws.org and click on Eagle Nest Cams under the
Interactive menu.
While you are there, and if you aren’t one already, consider
becoming a member to help support our conservation efforts
on the Channel Islands and all throughout the world. For every
membership level purchase or renewal, you will receive a
FREE IWS bald eagle pin and the IWS newsletter.

Stay tuned for more eagle news every Wednesday and have a wonderful week.

Hi again!
I just got back from getting mulch, getting a car wash.... (maybe it will rain some more?) and going to farmers market for some goodies.
Now... if the mulch will march from the back of my wagon to the garden, it would be really nice...
I'll let you know how that works out for me :)

Yes, Let me know where you can buy that kind of mulch too.
I've not seen marching mulch in any of the green houses around here.
I have the old fashion mulch you have carry. :D


I just found a cool banner maker..
I'm playing around with that..
I'll post one if I can figure out the program..
They said it was FREE, not EASY!
I might needc to find a banner program that says easy.. :P

So what happened yesterday.
Dr. Sharpe B-)) got his hat attacked by one of the WE adults..
I haven't had a chance to watch the intire video.
