Eagles' Winter Feeding Ground ~ Dec 2011 - Mar 2012

[Lussi05]

don't worry Lussi, we all have the same picture.
it's the bird's fault, showing its feet like that.

I like the mood of the BlueHour

a young bird with rings on the branch.


on the left foot a dark band on top (red?) and white/silver below but i can't read numbers.

[Felis silvestris]

Sweetheart, you have to turn a bit and lift your feathers

[ame]

the ring is so shiny that it can't be read. i can't even say what the top colour is.

now that the camera can be zoomed i have tried to zoom it myself by rolling the mouse's wheel up or down. i also feel like trying to turn it by dragging the picture with the mouse.
what a mess it would be if we all could do that!

[Felis silvestris]

It's also getting dark, makes it even more difficult!

what a mess it would be if we all could do that!

It is difficult to stop taking pictures..


Thank you for a GREAT day with the eagles everybody, and Andres - with help from Jo - for watching and zooming..and I hope Mutikluti enjoyed her day off

[ame]

one eagle sat in a pine tree for a long time....


then it left.


it's getting darker and darker but there's still a raven calling every now and then...
i think i'll call it a day. bye!

[Felis silvestris]

It was really great, the eagles were so nice and interesting! Now I have to see, what all I have done here and sort it out a bit! Thanks to everybody who made it possible and especially to the cam operators who find the scenes!

And to the eagles!

[ame]

Now we need only Renno to take a look!

Well done ame and Felis silvestris! This last ringed bird was very difficult to read...Today You got 3 new rings, it was great day!

I ringed this WTE with white-red ring A482 12th of June 2008 in western Hiuumaa, about 80km SW from the feeding place. In nest with two youngs and I will send a photo of this bird to Mutikluti:) Today this bird looked like 5th winter bird based on the bill but it is still 4th winter bird (also with very dark eye).

[Mutikluti]

Here is this picture what Renno promised!

[Felis silvestris]

What a huge bird! Great to see him/her so well!

[ame]

thank you Renno for the information about the eagles. it must feel great first to hold the birds in your hands and then years later to see them again!

[Fleur]

What a day, so much action, completely awesome
And then the breeding season has not even begun


Jo, it is possible to get a separate page for pictures like this?
Then you do not need to scroll or to look for the info ?

[macdoum]

So, a faithful eagle with a good memory.

[macdoum]

What a festival of eagles today. Thanks to you all for pics and videos.
It must be very gratifying to recognise the eagles years after the ringing.

Lussio....Mutikluti was here,she cannot stay away when things are 'hotting' up.
Gaby welcome. I hope you are not overcome with all that snow ? One meter snowfall yesterday.
