this was quite a heroic undertaking. thank you Janis and helper(s)!

The helper was dabasdati.lv forumer Māris (not that who is Strazds)

[ame]

yes, lianaliesma, so i read in the dd after i wrote the above note. after that i edited my mail, apparently at the same time as you wrote yours.

honour to those who deserve it!

This went very quickly. Thanks to Janis and Māris

December 20

good morning

7:39:15 female Tawny Owl call
7:52 male Tawny owl call

it is very windy

[Liz01]

fog soup

[Liz01]

Jānis and Māris were not on the nest.
The two sticks left and right of the camera, are still there.

8:01:21 a Raven call near the nest

[ame]

the fog is still sooo thick.

i suppose that the forest on the opposite side may remain invisible all day...
i heard a nutcracker and now a nuthatch.

Jānis and Māris were not on the nest.
The two sticks left and right of the camera, are still there.

i suspected that they would not climb in the tree on this trip. it's a hard job, could be as hard as dragging the 100 kg-battery to the forest.
there has been no talk about the camera being taken away recently. he has perhaps changed his plan about the taking the camera for drying. maybe Jānis asked for the twigs so that he'll have them ready at hand when he'll need them?

[ame]

the forest is slowly emerging from the fog...

[ame]

14:15 Latvian young eagle K083 (??) landed on the nest and began reorganizing twigs on the nest.


the Pontu picture was taken at the right time. this is almost readable. actually one can't honestly wish for a better picture.
i think it's K055 on the year ring and H321 on the country ring. it's interesting to see what Janis says about this.

this looks like 1st winter bird to me...?
but it can't be. they got only one ring. besides the beak is rather yellow already.
but it's not Durberta though, i checked. she has H390.

[ame]

14:17 it flew away.


this is quite a young eagle's tail, the tip is almost totally black.

[ame]

heh, on the arrival the country ring was even more clearly in sight.
it's H321 on the country ring. i think that's pretty clear.


i also made a close-up clip of the arrival in slow-motion. mostly it's 1/3 of normal and partly super-slow (i clicked frame-by-frame).

[ame]

it seems that the youngster had first landed on the tree top and then dropped down on the nest from there.


here's a clip of the rest of the stay.

[Liz01]

a young eagle! what a nice surprise
It can not be Durberta, our Prinzess has only one ring

Ame, third or fourth winter?
is there a difference between the designation winter and dress?




the Baby is in the 4. Winter
EDIT: Ame, I saw your slow motion video. it has still dark eyes. It looks cute

Hello everyone and happy Sunday
Be read as the numbers on the rings?

[Liz01]

I bet it's a girl

it has plucked grass. Durbe will be pleased. It's hard work

[ame]

the beak of the eagle looked like the 3rd costume or 'Kleid' which i think refers to 3rd calendar year
but the tail looked like a 1st calendar year eagle like Durberta. also the eye was quite dark like you said, Liz.
i have a feeling that the different characteristics (tail, eye colour, beak, overall plumage) develop in different pace in different individuals. their costumes are very difficult to me.

... Be read as the numbers on the rings?

i think it was H321 on country ring and K055 on the individual ring, but we shall have to wait and see what Janis thinks it was.

[Liz01]

Ame, it is as you say. They develop differently.
I'm curious what Jānis thinks.

[ame]

15:49 a young Latvian eagle again. is it the same as earlier? the light is too poor already.


it reorganized some sticks.


the back is very spotty.
