Latvian LSE Webcam Discussion ~ 2009 and 2010

[vainamoinen]

And is beloved in the US, too. There are several forums here that watch this cam, keeping in mind to limit the time so that the researchers have access.

Thanks for the guide to pronunciation. Perhaps members of the Latvian forum can name this little eaglet?

Little eaglet hasn't name yet. Members of Latvian forum are concerned about this fault and positive solution will be in the next few days.

labrīt!

It's a beautiful morning

Today fifteen small Latvian lesser spotted eagle was taken to Germany. They incubated from the second eggs and bred in Riga's Zoo.
In Germany remained only about 90 pairs LSE, but while in Latvia there are 20% of world population.
Here is TV story (in Latvian, but see the picture)

So the second eggs were taken away from the nests, as I suggested last year on this forum?

[Grieta]

Yes, eggs were removed from nests because of cainism they are doomed.
Latvian ornithologist Ugis Bergmanis implementing this project for 3 years.
In 2008 taken to Germany 9 eaglets, in 2009 - 13 eaglets and this year - 15 eaglets

[asteria]

Exactly my idea! Nice to hear the chicks can be saved this way.

Video: How Do I Eat This?

Evening, and this eaglet is hungry. But how to eat the prey found in the nest? Certainly not like a Barn Owl--

[jopie]

Good morning everybody. Mom and young in the nest.

[jopie]

Mum is trying to shield her young from too much sun, with her wings.

[Tahidor]

Are these parents still Grieta and Gints? After the cam started again nobady call them by their names.

Hello Tahidor, I do not know their names and also I'm not that interested in giving wild animals names.

Hello Tahidor, I do not know their names and also I'm not that interested in giving wild animals names.

I think this is a different pair -- and a different nest.

But I do not seem to be able to find the link.

[jopie]

After feeding Mom took care of the feathers of the young and the bottom of the nest and left.

[jopie]

And she is back already, worrying maybe of too much sun on the young, I don't know.

No it's the same pair - Grieta and Gints. Members of Latvian forum have decided to give little eaglet name - Gusts (if he is male) or Guste (if she is female). It's not connected to English word "gusts", simple they are Latvian human names, not very popular nowadays.

[jopie]

Thank you for the info Vainamoinen, and have you decided already if it is male or female? Because I can not tell.

[alice44]

Is it the same nest, or a different one?

[Tahidor]

Thank you for the information. Nice to have "mysteries" and nice to have them revealed so far!
