Eagles Winter Feeding Ground 2012 - 2013

[GM74]

Like others already mentioned....
The highlight of the season for me is the dedication of all the people who took time to contribute to this forum!
Especially the cam operators (mutikluti andres and Jo)
Also great respect for Renno who made an effort to put out food on the feeding ground at crazy times and crazy temperatures.
Also to Ame who has had a great influence on this forum.
Thanks also to the gif/pic/video makers.

Personally highlights for me:
B489 Really amazing creature
And the eagle that took a raven as a prey...

Thanks for this season. Hope to see you again next year!

I enjoyed this season, too. I appreciate the company of forum members while I was doing the camera. Sometimes it could have been a lonely occupation because the eagles, somehow, knew when Mutikluti had gone to lunch, so they took time off too But I had good company here.
I look forward to being Mutikluti's lunchtime relief operator somewhere, sometime in the future.

Greetings to all, and cheers to Looduskalender and Kotkaklubi for bringing us together here.

I second your cheers Jo...many thanks to all for indentifying all the eagle visitors. Then to the Looduskalender and Kotkaklubi members.
The zoomers !! and of course all the pics and videos for those who cannot get online sometimes.

Cheers to all

Nove cam is as bright as daylight...maybe some RD's there too.

I'll add my thanks -- thanks to everyone one who made this season possible.

Thanks for the food delivery, zooming, all the captures while I am sleeping, to everyone involved with Looduskalender and Kotkaklubi and a special thanks to all who donated to help make it possible.

And I am very thankful that this site is no longer possible because of concerns for protecting the nature reserve -- I am such a pessimist I was afraid it was because of new developments that would make this meadow unsafe for our eagles.

Best wishes for finding a new wonderful site, where we can learn about eagle activity in a new area.

There was an eagle sitting in that tallest tree about 45 minutes or so, ago.

[alice44]

Now I think there is one eating something behind the little tree.

[ame]

there is an eagle eating there.
you can create a gif here

[alice44]

It looks like there is a chunk of food there.

[alice44]

zooming in and the eagle seems to have one foot caught in the bit of boar skin and bones

[ame]

it has rings, black over blue on the left ankle. is it Estonian blue and white on the right?

it may be the same as yesterday.

yes! Estonian.

[alice44]

I did not get a picture, which shows colour that I can see.

[ame]

i think it's B489. it is the same as yesterday.


too bad that the boar skull seems to be just on the edge of the zoom.

[alice44]

I am pretty sure I see a 4 and a 9.

[ame]

i think number 4 on the top band is clear enough, and it looks like 9 below it.

[alice44]

When I enlarged my best picture (pretty much the one you posted) -- it looks an awful lot like B489

[alice44]

It seems like there are lots of smaller birds chirruping in the forest.

[ame]

i made a slowmotion video (1/3 speed without sound) of the eagle balancing on the boar's head. i think it was B489, not clear but clear enough.

[ame]

this one is for Manu. good morning!
