Eaglepedia Revisited - July 7, 2007

Knowing where to travel and when to migrate is instinctive in young juveniles. Slowly wandering south come the fall, they will be in search for sufficient food (*), sometimes staying a week before moving on to the next area. As an adult, the eagle will quickly move north in the spring, to nest. They fly during the day and may flock in groups, forming a line 20-30 miles long, spread out nearly 1/2 a mile apart. Not all bald eagles migrate, remaining year round in their territory, traveling only to find food, unlike a robin or bluebird migration. (*) not written for CA area

AND

August 9, 2007


The flight of the Bald Eagle is deliberate, steady and slow. They are very agile flies, performing spectacular aerial maneuvers sometimes. The wings are held horizontally at right angle from the body as they soar and glide. They are a little more social than most raptors, congregating in areas where food is abundant during the winter months. Partial migrant - northern populations migrate south, other populations remain sedentary. Juvenile eagles (especially the males) travel and wander from place to place, part of the learning process as they prepare for sexual maturity and the rest of their lives. Adults have established routines and regular places they visit when traveling about each year.

It's Friday! Picking up the wedding dress today and keeping it at my house.
Going over all the contracts, so I haven't forgotten anything.

Artsy, I read Lily and Hope the Black Bear update.
I'm going to be less afraid of the Black Bears on my
hikes now that I understand their behavior more.
I still don't think I'll be pointing a camera at them anytime soon. :D :clk:

Loved the photo Don took of the PH eaglets.
I noticed they were looking for fish in a cove with lots of kelp.
I'm keeping all the eaglets in my prayers.

So what's everyone doing this weekend?

Forget Jon and Kate: Hamton the Pig Plus Fourteen Piglets!
Hamton the pig had a busy spring at Connecticut's Beardsley Zoo, cozying up with not one but two charming Guinea Hog sows, Jodie and Olivia. This past week, both sows gave birth to big litters, eight and six respectively, making Hamton the proud father of fourteen little piglets! Guinea Hogs are a domestic breed that was once the most prevalent in the American Southeast, but today their are only about 200 individuals left.

Good morning! Lots of :rn: here last night.

That will be exciting to bring home the wedding dress, Topa. That's one step closer to the big day!

Penny, the information about the lack of bear problems in the study area was interesting. "A hungry bear is a dangerous bear". I was wondering about the random bear attacks like the one on the Canadian news last night about two fishermen who were suddenly attacked by a black bear.

Jules, happy belated birthday! Hope you had a great time on your special day! :bday: I meant to post a graphic and then I went and did something else and forgot, my apologies.

Video posted by International Bird Rescue Research Center

"Some young and very young brown pelicans, the little guy is almost 7 weeks old and doing great, he is exhibiting begging behavior and vocalizations. We are putting him with older birds and encouraging him to self feed, minimizing contact in order to keep him wild!"

..... people were asking about the chick's wobbly behaviour and the loud squawking .... caregivers replied that this is normal behaviour for a young penguin ..... he looks like a pterodactyl :)

I can't find exactly where this rescue organization is located. I think they are in Fort Jackson in Florida but not 100% certain.
