Latvian LSE Nest Webcam 2012

[Lussi05]

It has been a very eventful day. I am so happy that everything is well with Metra and her beautiful chick. But I must get up early tomorrow morning, so now I have to Good night everybody, and thank you for all pictures and videos

[Felis silvestris]

Me too! Good night Lussi, and everybody!

[Bea]

Good night to you all

What a day it was - newborn lovely chick And a caretaking Mom - and hopefully a providing Dad tomorrow

I hope our Latvian forum friends will let us know when they found a name for the little new LSE-family-member?!? Please!!!

So the little one arrived only about half an hour after I logged off! I knew I saw the hole getting a bit bigger & a crack in the shell. But all is well & Mētra is feeding the chick from the stores she set aside. What a wonderful bunch of photos & videos everyone shared here. Thank you, it helps me & others see the happy event that happened here.

Someone is unhappy with having LSE family as neighbors. What bird is calling such an alarm? I hope we do not have another McNasty here!

[Kitty KCMO]

It has turned windy & rainy, so Mētra must keep the chick warm & dry.



I must log off now. We will be leaving for a vaction trip in a couple of days-- to Wisconsin to visit my hubby's family. Big family reunion party with all his many, many relatives (descended from a German man & his 4 sons who immigrated to USA in the early 20th century). So I have to try to get my sleep schedule rearranged to more "normal" hours. I will be logged on less the next couple of days, then not at all for about a week from Wednesday on. There is no internet access at the country home where I will be. But I will peek in here at the forums for a day or two, yet, before our trip. For now, Goodnight / Good day! Enjoy all the cams & exciting events.

[Bea]

Oh no .... heavy rain falling on Metra and her little one .... Metra looks miserable

Lets hope she can keep the chick warm and safe, so that nothing will happen to it .... fingers crossed !!!

[Bea]

Little one is peeking





Let´s hope rain will stop soon so that Macho can hunt and bring fresh food for his family

[Bea]

I can see sunshine through the trees - rain, please stopppp now!!!!









Macho .... where are you??? They need food !!!!

[Bea]

Jipppiiiieee ..... Macho delivered a good sized vole
He took a look on the new family member, too
I hope he understands that the situation is serious now .....



Metra began to feed the little hungry chick immediately



It is not easy to take good pictures, the wind is blowing hard and the whole nest is swaying ....

[Bea]

I hope it´s okay to post more pics - but I´m so happy that this sweet one-day-old chick is okay after the bad rain

[Bea]

Chick could hardly swallow this big chunk

[Manu]

It's nice to see chick is ok.
Big rain stopped, but the wind .

[Bea]

Little yawning chick alone at home for a minute - Metra was out for a loo, I guess

[Lussi05]

What a weather it has been today, poor Metra But her little chick has been safe and dry, covered by mum:) Thank you for all your great pictures

17:40 - a very windy meal, I was a bit nervous that the tiny chick would blow out of the nest..

20:27 - Metra had just left the nest, and the chick was home alone:

20:28 - Yaaawn...bad weather makes little chicks tired..

20:30 - Metra returns to the nest:

20:47 - The chick is safely covered under mum

[Fleur]

thank you all for the beautiful pictures

hopefully it is dry tomorrow.

8:03 - Metra call and leaves

[Fleur]

8:10 - Metra back

[alice44]

I heard the calling and then saw the little one alone.


And now that Metra is back, she is decorating the chick with greenery. He is not impressed. edit: Maybe I lied, but chick was giving his mom a bit of the eagle eye look.
