Eagles Winter Feeding Ground 2012 - 2013

[ame]

forest eagles again.

[ame]

here's a video of the Åland bird. the code D284 is twinkling there among the funny colours.

i so wish that the Lithuanian would decide to come down soon. it looked rather suspicious...

[Bubo]

4 eagles on the ground. None of them are ringed

[ame]

another forest eagle. adult with no rings i think.



it's so quiet that i had to check that the sound on...

[Bubo]

Ringed?

[ame]

there's a ringed Spotty.
. but it's getting so dark.........

[ame]

another ringed near the forest eagle who is pulling the skin back to the open.
this looks like Dark Rings.

[ame]

and the Spotty was D284. no new eagles. sorry wrong picture first ...

[asteria]

Black and white view, an unringed eagle and crow are eating together.

[ame]

no chance to make more identifications today.


thank you Mutikluti and Jo for the camera work!

[ame]

Dark Rings went to eat with a Spotty.



they had some skirmish and Spotty left. adult stayed for some time...

[ame]

then the adult flew a tree.


and then it left for good i think. the youngster dropped down once more but now it gone too.



thank you Mutikluti for the last minutes!

i think i heard the whistle of the wings of a goldeneye at 18:21 (and a little earlier too, but no recording of that)...... the Tube can't process the "video", maybe because there's only sound..
i'll try if i can make a link to the recording in Mejuba:
http://www.mejuba.com/albums/anmaelo/15 ... how/75x100
(it's not processed yet at 18:59)

good night!

edit on the next morning: the above recording still doesn't work. maybe it is not an eligible video but i don't know how to convert it into audio only.
i was hoping that i could give alice a sample of goldeneye's wing sounds...

and i see that the was a confusion about the Goldeneye but that was resolved by others. thank you!

Great pictures again, thank you everybody..and thank you Mutikluti and Jo for your zooming


Ame what bird is a Goldeneye? When I try to look it up, I only get James Bond and some Hotel & Resort stuff..
Maybe a silly question

[Felis silvestris]

A duck, Lussi! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goldeneye_%28duck%29 With eyes that look like being made of gold

Here the Norwegian Wiki entry - a Kvinand: http://nn.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bucephala_clangula

Oh, a Kvinand! I have a translater for bird names, but I must have written the name wrong, because I didn´t get any hits.
Now I did, Kvinand - Bucephala clangula = Common Goldeneye. I have seen them several times too, both in the small forest lakes, and in the fjord
Thank you, Felis

[renno]

someone should ask Renno what is going on!!!

Hi. Sorry but I am away for few days and haven´t watch the cam today. I will try to find out tomorrow who was shooting and talking there.

But You have lots on eagles today and yesterday, that´s great! And first Lithuanian WTE here... hopefully tomorrow will come closer.

Recently, we have been thinking about animated gifs.
There are things we need to consider when making them, and choosing which pics to put together to make a gif.
The reasons we don't have animated avatars and signatures also need to be considered when we make gifs.
Many people suffer from what we call photo-sensitive conditions - commonly, migraine, epilepsy etc, but there are other conditions which make bright lights, bright colours and flashing, blinking images visually uncomfortable. If there is a frequent fast change from dark to light, sky to trees,, it can be unpleasant to view.

Most of our cameras are fixed and show the same background constantly. Really, it is only with the Eagles Feeding Ground camera that we need to be careful about the images which are shown as gifs. I haven't seen any "difficult to view" gifs on this forum in recent days, but as it has been mentioned by some members, we thought we should make members aware of the problems caused by some animated gifs.

Gifs can give more information that a still image and most of us enjoy them, and enjoy making them. I hear that there are some forums which ban them, completely! We don't want to do that, either.

Did look for some info but couldn't find it...
Is the feeding place located in an area closed to public or is it just an area in a forest where people are allowed to be?
