mikke, a warm welcome to you and your colleagues and friends! It´s a bit embarrassing, but I had tears in my eyes when I read your message. When I opened a Looduskalender cam for the first time, I suddenly sat in the top of a tree, eye to eye with amikke wrote:Quickly checking in from the Pacific Northwest--Washington State, south Puget Sound just next door to the Olympic Peninsula. I was introduced to this site by a friend at The Evergreen State College's IT group in mid-April. It has become a major addiction. The Kalakotkas Kam is the best "television" I've seen in my life. And there is now a cluster of IT specialists I know who cannot go more than a few hours without checking on Piret, Madis, the chicks, and often the other cams as well.
Warm feathery hugs to everyone who makes these cams and forums possible. THIS is what we all were working for, when the Internet was new, and people with imagination saw how it could revolutionize telecommunications...for the better. Watching the family life of these birds has been a great privilege and inspiration, and technically speaking it is the best nature cam ever.
Thank you!

h u g e bird. It was a White-tailed Eagle, and I became addicted to this bird immediately. Since this moment I learned unbelievable things about wildlife. As you said: watching these and other cams has been a great privilege and inspiration! And to meet so many people from around the world, all interested in nature, is another privilege. There´s a project with the name "Eagles cross borders". I think LK does it too.
Very nice to meet you!

Every time one of the adult eagles flies off or arrives, I aim to get the ultimate picture. But no success!
Few minutes ago I heard piret shouting and was ready to klick when Madis came in. I was dissapointed when I saw the photo . . . Madis not to be seen in the bright sunlight.
But with a closely look I cognized not Madis but a fish flying in the air.

LOL. Great picture! Now I understand everything. These chicks are so fat and happy because they come flying fish!Susie wrote:Every time one of the adult eagles flies off or arrives, I aim to get the ultimate picture. But no success!

I started to read this forum about Osprey nest from that time, when Nori was one day old. It is very interesting to oberve bird's life. I like this family.
Macko, do you really think that, when Madis comes from the left side, it brings a fish from the sea?
I think, that Gulf of Riga is too far from Võru - about 140km. May be Madis brings some fishs from Tamula or from Vagula lake.
I have made a mistake, sorry. I didn't know exactly where is the nest, but thanks for you, now I know. I have just noticed when Piret comes from the left side it brings another type fish, as he comes from the opposite side. Thanks for this information. :)

I was worried when Piret was tossing big logs around the nest today!
I saw on the sponsor page that the nest was partially reconstructed by humans to encourage nesting. Are those big logs she is so determined to eliminate part of the human nest building?
LOL the flying fish!
Ty for the identification tutorial.

What wonderful captures today as usual. I am just off to roost, but had to say a big thank you to all. Loved the flying fish.
The picture of what may be the tree in which this family are nesting does not look strong enough. It obviously, is but I will worry now when there are strong winds.
Good night all and thanks again.

One of the larger chicks - not sure, which one it was - just badly attacked Nori.
The parents came with a little snack when the poor little one already cowered down.
The chicks become more aggressive by and by, I think.

Good morning, wet Piret at the rim, Madis on the cam (shadow)
Edit; Piret shaking her feathers, she must have been out fishing, only her breast and head are wet.

Hi. I think I´ve seen the parents carrying some of those big branches into the nest. (Somebody correct me if I´m wrong). They are good "fences" on the edges of the nest so the chicks won´t fall out. But when the parents are moving them and striking the chicks with those branches it doesn´t always look too nice.chicktrick wrote:

Hi Starling, many of those large branches are mouldering already, so not terribly heavy when a chick is touched by it. Of course it can touch a chick at a wrong place, but most times I watch, it went alright. Looks worse than it is.Starling wrote: Hi.
