Latvian Golden Eagle Nest

[Polly]

Marfo, nice to read you.
Thanks for the information.

Maybe the thought is completely stupid, but could golden eagles also be short-distance migrants?
even if golden eagles are not known for it.
When their area doesn't provide enough food anyway, and thus even less in winter?
There are also smaller birds such as blackbirds, which are by no means purely resident birds. (Which I didn't know until a few weeks ago.)


Yes, let's see.

Trīne, thank you very much




Male lands in the nest with a bunch hay, female landed on the branch below.
She cuts a twig and brings it into the nest. Could be that she is Spilve. None of them wears rings.
10:05 Male flew to the left, landed on a tree and took off. Female is working with the hay ball.
10:08 she flew to the right


Spilve with a branch

Good morning everyone

8:03 it looks like more hay is brought

[Polly]

Good morning @all, Liz!

Could be that she is Spilve.

To me it still looks like yesterday when the second eagle left the nest.
Yesterday, 10:08


No more visits.

she doesn't have brought that much at once Polly , it could be deceptive though. I don't know it. Let's hope they choose this nest. With your comment on migration. At least in America there is short migration.They probably don't fly too far away...

that is not stupid! that's very interesting

ah, here:
The golden eagle has migratory and non-migratory populations.
Most eagles breeding in the northernmost part of its range are migratory
Golden eagles migrate alone, following traditional routes
Their wintering grounds overlap with that of year-round resident eagles
Golden eagles generally return to the same breeding and wintering grounds
All golden eagles in the east are migratory (but it's America)

Thank you Liz! At least it doesn't seem unthinkable.
Whether it actually applies to this couple is of course not comprehensible, but it could explain why they couldn't be heard - they just weren't here.

Just an assumption...

Incidentally, the Golden Eagle in Romania have also stopped construction.

Of course Golden Eagles aren't migratory in Latvia They simply are roaming around some territory

[Polly]

What surface of ​​territory can we roughly imagine?
(Because of the possibility of hearing their calls. Because they certainly also call out their territorial borders, "mark"?)

I'm wondering because it might mean the couple has left territory altogether?
If so, why are they bringing hay to a distant nest if that nest is even outside their new territory? Maybe even far away?
Is it a behavior of territorial expansion?

Raven says: Look, my mate, this could be a very good opportunity, what do you think? (He calls, she answers)

[Susanne]

The raven returns at 11:42 and places some material in the middle of the nest bowl (it's very windy today, so this is not an easy task.)

Quote YT-chat: "Uģis Bergmanis ​13.03.,09:12 ligzdas tuvumā sauc klinšu ērglis" - "a golden eagle calls near the nest".

Good day!

No Golden Eagles, but something for bird voice experts ( Sigge, are you there?), quote YT-chat "Marfoo27​ Good morning! What bird calls at 5:49 - 5:50? and later, 5:52-54?" _ This sounds so interesting! Go for it!
