One of the first bald eagle nests I watched was on Vancouver Island, In British Columbia, on the west coast of Canada.

In 2007, the bald eagles fledged one chick from that nest, and in October we noticed some plants starting to grow:




The eagles did not use this nest the following spring (2008) and the plants continued to grow. One day in March 2008, one of the eagles visited the nest but did not stay long. The tall plants had a yellow flower, I forget what species we decided they were.

October 1st
Very misty view, the nettles are doing well, some more leaves in the nest...as i read, Urmas disconnected the cam in the evening, so this is my last capture of our BS nest this year



Until spring then....what was the date??

The last capture of the nettle.

Toomas will inform us about the exact date I think, as he is with transmitter now.

April 1?

thank you for one last view of the nest, here's hoping for 2010

It depends on where Toomas will have been by this time. (Wrong birds/animals are not counted)

HASTA LA VISTA any BS couple.

Hasta la vista BS cam y hola BS travels diary.

Update from Urmas on camera systems: ant nest in BS camera!

The mushroom is edible indeed.

For humans ? What kind is it?

Last Friday the mushroom woods (N of Stockholm) were sadly empty, just "yellow legs", Cantharellus tubaeformis, lehter-kukeseen (?) around, so send it here, please ...

I think it looks like trycholoma columbetta(I dunno English name for it).

Dove-coloured tricholoma? (doesn't sound very popular), tuviheinik, silkesmusseron - mycorrhiza grows with aspen, book says

It occurs in the park near my home and I picked it up.

Dear Mr. Head Gardener of Stork Nests, Urmas -
Some questions about this year´s greenery (and non-green things).
Do you think we were right in the forum to believe that Padis or Toomas brought a nettle root to the nest (= it didn't grow from seed there)? And the dandelion, if that was what it was?
Those mushrooms: same thing, a bit of mycel? It takes a lot of time and babying to get a big mushroom from a spore. From where, then - are there that kind around?
Have you seen mushrooms in stork nests before?

Nettles?
Mushrooms?
Spanish?
.....checked. Yes i'm in the right place (right being BS cam forum)

Liis you should go to Estonia! We have plenty of mushrooms this year - whatever kind you like!

BTW the forest where i walk my dog is full of Amanita Muscaria's. Beautiful sight!

Of course. We ALWAYS keep STRICTLY to topic. If the topic goes straying - what can we do?

So there were here. But all the interesting ones have disappeared. So Urmas Tartes' strategy of giving red mushrooms when there are no red roses would be very difficult (but plenty of red roses flowering!).
But it is really like a detective story - the nettles, mushrooms etc. clues to where Padis has been.
PS. Yarko, you forgot the ants in the camera

Yarko.!! You would not be suggesting we TRY these ?

(Don't let the dog try either. !! )
MAMMA MIA. !!

Anything seen in the BS cam area is to the point. Actually it is Padis that grew all this up. Or we can open the topic "Black stork gardening and interior" and discuss the issue there.

Awe with all the talk of mushrooms, you make me upset that i missed the annual Mushroom Festival in the town of Kennet Square,Pennsylvania.

Supposedly they are the largest production center for mushrooms in the USA. It was an interesting tour to see how they are raised commerically and learn that they are all not grown in manure.

Hi Leica Eagles (great avatar BTW ) - Annual Mushroom festival?
I hesitate to start to ask questions - there are too many of them - but i found a link!

that one?
