It reminds me when:
When it sickened me that the fuck-nut evangelical imbeciles let one of these beautiful creatures loose inside their "church" yelling USA, USA! during a "service" while the frightened animal looked for an escape. (sometime about 2 years ago....sorry don't have time to find the link)
Sadly I believe it died flying into the glass wall of their jesus masturbatorium.
Right wingers are so fucking stupid it hurts....

(903 posts)A whole school-full of fuck-nut evangelicals. But, apparently in this case at least, the eagle was "OK". At least as OK as you can be being a wild creature confined with a bunch of fuck-nut evangelicals.

I hope those assholes were embarrassed enough by the pub that they never do it again.

That's GOP patriotism for you.

(1,900 posts)Those are incredible! Great work! I've seen a young one fly over our pond and scare the hell out of a mallard but only caught him in the binoculars.

perfect for some Audubon calendar. WUNNNNNderful photography! And the closer - of the little treasure in the nest - I thought - thats not a chick in there is it? I had to zoom in to confirm. Amazing! What a photo finish!
Thanks so much for these, teamster633!

May 3, 2018 Welcome to the world DC7! Official hatch time 4:13 a.m. May 3, 2018. Watch DC7's hatch video! Sibling DC6 hatched at 12:17 p.m. April 30, 2018. Watch DC6's hatch video! This is a very exciting time for viewers of this nest, as we watch the care given to these little eaglets by their parents. We are pleased to report that although our cam streaming is still not perfect, improvements in both the audio and video have been made by AEF and its partners.

Note that there's two cameras, A and B. Night video is infrared, so in gray rendition only at night. It's a blast watching them being fed.
Also check out the daily blog shown on the right-hand side of the web page - lots of good Q & A talk on this eagle family.
Warning! It's habit forming, LOL.
Beautiful photos, Teamster - those are keepers!.........
