8.48 Hildiņa and Sandra L. in DD heard and saw two swans flying around. paldies!

first the swans flew by near the nest but out of the view. then they flew back from the direction of the pond, between the poop branch and the other branch in the centre. they sang together all the way.

While watching the other nest this morning and the mating video of yesterday, I was thinking that a ready made nest, might be an obstacle and not always an advantage.

Although it looks like the experts were right and this couple is not ready, and since there is still time to start the season, let's hope they'll prepare a nice nest if they can, or want it.

I read the book by Wolfgang Fischer
if it is failure of a partner through death,
a new pair has fights, previously the nesting Time begins, it takes time until the synchronization is achieved.

progresses breeding season, the surviving partner will quickly find a new partner.
Before that, he fights the new partner. This has been done here.

Mature birds keep on getting near the breeding areas of the adult birds. in our case, it is the Bride
We have a good chance to see here a brooding pair.

My English!

Perhaps Ame can explain it, that it is to understand?
If she understood me

all the time general Error

[ame]

Liz, on what page/paragraph of Fischer was that? i could try my "Deutsch".

General Errors one after another!
double posts... i already deleted one double post which Abigyl had made.

[Liz01]

Ame
2.4 Paarbildung und Balz / Pairing and courtship
Page 29 and 30

EDIT: Page 32 last paragraph

EDIT 2: Ame, the second last paragraph is also interesting

[Abigyl]

Liz, Thanks!

Your English is much better than last year, I can understand what you wrote.

[Liz01]

Robert call and the Bride

Abigyl I practice english with Duolingo

[ame]

i have a recording of the calls. a male voice first and then also a female voice.


i agree with Abigyl: Liz summarized the facts quite understandably (as far as i can understand what Fischer writes).
there isn't much anything that i could add.

Fischer also quotes a few observations where a vagrant bird has entered a territory of an eagle couple and serious fighting has started over the ownership of the territory, and that the fighting has resulted in the death of one of the fighters. in one such case, reported by Banzhaf (1937), a strange male was the intruder. the fight took place on the nest with eggs. after the fight a male bird was found dead near the nest tree with torn neck. as a result of the fight the eggs were destroyed and the nest was abandoned. Fischer then writes that Banzhaf had also reported three other similar cases. Fischer continues that there are several other reports of fights at nests during the courtship and incubation time, some with deadly results but not always.
(Wolfgang Fischer: Die Seeadler, Die Neue Brehm-Bücherei, Wittenberg Lutherstadt, 1984, 4th ed., p. 32)
my Deutsch is soooo slow......

Liz, correct me if i misunderstood something.

i found in old Pontu videos an episode in 2009 when a strange eagle landed on the nest almost right after Linda had laid her first egg. they stood there beak to beak... that was scary.
