about flight and feathers in general, should it also belong/fit the new info collection thread?

If you, or any member find more such useful links, please post them straight to that topic. You will find that there are an awful lot of academic posts there. Please don't let that put you off posting. All will be sorted into order later. Much more important is to have your contribution there.

The best dad in the world, dad its a Karl.
He loves baby chic, whose name Aru.
The South wind blows the wings.
Fly away Aru!
Other countries r waiting you.
You're strong storklet, r you?
Sister flying to the South. It sparkles with feathers.
It's time for you to fly my friend.
Have a nice weather!

thank you for the picture and the time

it was a good amount of nice size fishes. I'm glad that Karl II came once again

15:32 Aru has eaten very fast






As Poliff alredy wrote. Karl II returned after the feeding and flew off again

Liz01, thank you for the pics of the wound.
The photos gladdened me. The wound looks pinkish on the edges. That is excellent!
That means that it is shrinking and healing.

Thank you, Solo, this is soothing and interesting. So there is no need to worry concerning Karl II ...

aquiline, you're welcome

Karula NP nesting area - departure date: adult male BS Eedi and Karl I

KARL I (data on the birdmap + latest chick last seen on the nest)
2016: 12.8./Belarus (05.08.); 2017: 22.8./221km (17.08.); 2018: 16.08./87km (14.08.)

2017: Urmas wrote (15.08.): "... Eedi already made two days trip to Latvia, but returned yesterday to home range again."
2016 (birdmap info):"... Eedi started migration much earlier as last year, already in 12th of August. That is caused probably of earlier breeding this year. ..."

Good evening

In the pictures of Liz it looks as if the quills have regrown well

Hi Bibibu!
Welcome to the forum!

I agree with you!
Doesn't it look as if feathers are starting to poke out of the quills?
That means that everything is progressing in the right direction. Yay!

[Bibibu]

Hallo Ari19 ....... thanks

Yes I think so too

[Summi]

healing is progressing

Liz, thank you, it's like balsam on the soul.

Dear All.

I would like to thank everyone very much for another day full of interesting posts, beautiful photos and especially for the hopeful messages.

I regularly come to see what is posted here, and I really enjoy it, but I am currently a bit too busy working on the "known facts" to have time to participate.

Today our little Aru is 90 days old.
He fledged on July 23, 22 days ago.
I'm very glad that he's still at home, recovering, and that our fabulous Karl II continuous feeding him.

Hi Anne! Good to see you!
I am very glad that you are collecting “known facts”, they are important in order to better understand our subjects! Hopefully, I will get a chance to add some more soon!

21:12 Aru went to bed on his favorite perch.
He has also mastered the art of sleeping on one leg.

Good night everyone!

Today, thanks to Urmas, the observers calmed down a bit. And thanks to the publications, many are set to study new materials.
My today's observation of the wound: it seemed to me more wet at 15.31.44 after the flight than in the morning:


here is the wing with the wound in motion: https://ok.ru/video/1283151104638
