7-8-12 * Red River nest

I went by the Red River nest twice. Nothing seen at the first visit.
On the second visit, I spotted the young eagle. It was in the nest tree, but has fledged. No parents seen.

Doug I just got caught up on looking at your fantastic pics of the eagles & hawks :thumrht: The hawklets are so cute. I love your last pics of SS Pa preening. I took some very similar pics last year of the Vic. Airport eagle. It seems to be an off year for a lot of eagles; there are a few nests that I watch in my area that didn't have eaglets this year

Hi Kay * It is good to hear from you. Yes, the eagle nests that I watch are all just singles, but earlier than usual. However, the Osprey nest that I'm watching has four youngsters this year, only one last year. You can see my reports on that nest over on the Osprey forum.

Hello Doug, Looks like you have had some awesome eagle observations also. The pair sitting togther reminds me so much of the two nests I watch. Great Photos my friend!

I hope you are well, I have missed seeing your beautiful images of your nature and wildlife. :hello:

Calling on all our talented Screen Cappers

Do you have a favorite screen capture of our very own Ma & Pa's

Ma & Pa Delta2
Ma & Pa Lafarge
Ma & Pa White Rock



If you do.... and would like to share it with us please send it to my email - Debs571@hotmail.com - with the subject heading HWF Screen Capture Contest, no later than noon Sunday - August 26, 2012

Pick your best screen capture as my email only has so much room.

When submitting your screen capture please include the following information:

Your screen name and contact information
In the subject line of your email state that its for the "HWF Screen Capture Contest" so that your email does not go into the junk or spam folder
When your capture was taken and at what Hancock Wildlife Nest (although we will likely be able to tell please include this information)
Images must be JPEG saved and no larger than 500 pixels
The screen capture must be "raw" without any enhancements; text or animations
The nest must be part of the capture

We would also like some screen captures that include some of our famous HWF kids or bobbleheads with or without the parents in the screen capture
and preferably taken when the chicks were just a few days old.

This Screen Capture Contest is for screen captures only no professional pictures this time around.

Although we would love to promote everyone's favorite screen capture ... as they are all "keepers" we can only select a few from this contest, which will then be used in an upcoming promotion so good luck to you all.

We will keep all screen captures on file for future HWF promotions so you never know when your favorite capture may be used in the future.

Thanks for participating and we look forward to seeing your beautiful screen captures!

Hi Linda * Thanks for looking in and commenting. I am well, just super busy. The eagle nests that I was watching had an unspectacular season and I was just unable to visit them as much as I'd like. I have been doing lots of local birding including watching an Osprey nest that I find fascinating. You can see some reports about that at ....

I'm also working on my own website. It will be the fall before I have that done, but I'll post a link here when it is ready for public viewing.

The Whatcom Falls Park Barred Owl pair had two kids this year. They are becoming adults and I spent a couple hours with one last weekend. Here are some videos of it cooling down in the creek and preening.
