Frankly, if the name of the Bald Eagle was North Korean Eagle ( Haliaeetus coreaseptentrionalis ?), In Daurian Redstarts , personality traits (specifically, whether a bird is shy or bold) partly determine how good an individual is in rejecting cuckoo eggs in its nest. it would not be the national bird of the USA either.

Living near the Sacramento River and its many lakes and tributaries makes it even more likely to see the incredible fish hawk or sea eagle we call the Osprey ( Pandion haliaetus ). Osprey pairs usually form at the nest site where females are fed almost exclusively by their mates prior to egg laying behavior 1.

“Do you see the eagle?” Early April is a fairly typical time for the earlier-migrating Osprey to arrive (both birds at Dunrovin are already onsite,) but eggs probably won’t appear until late April or early May. Time enough, I suppose, for our newcomers to figure out that those aren’t eagles.

Feral cats are a huge problem in Australia and they do take a lot of the eggs. There are four pairs with eggs currently after the first pair lost their eggs, which they laid in the same location as last year. This pair laid a white egg last year on their second attempt in the exact same nest.

White-tailed Eagles normally take flight silently, yet, while checking some Common Starlings and hoping for Rosy Starlings , I heard a few noisy wing-beats, enough to turn and see a young eagle flying with a wing tag. To prove more how young and inexperienced it was, the eagle even landed on the ground a mere 15 metres behind my car.

Here’s a photo of a House Finch nest before the eggs hatch and the hatchlings start producing fecal sacs. This adult Bald Eagle politely moves away from the nest to defecate (watch out). The dark part is undigested feces. So how do nesting birds deal with the excrement of all those nestlings until they fledge?

The nickel was placed in the nest for the photo to show me the size of the egg for identification purposes, then removed. Even though the female lays only two eggs per nest attempt, they enjoy a protracted breeding season in which multiple nesting attempts can occur every 30 days, and in Southern locations, nearly year round.

They know how to find food for themselves only a few moments after emerging from their egg, and then likely produce a special protein which allows them to harness quantum entanglement for global navigation. Add to that their incredulous migration facilitated by physiological capabilities we can barely imagine. There is still so much to learn!

The first eggs were laid in the first week of July, which is the case each year. The eggs take 28 days to hatch and it is then at least 35 days before the chicks are developed enough to fly and there have been problems with predation as in other years.

The most notorious effect is that their eggshells become so thin that a parent bird will crush it’s eggs while attempting to incubate them. Raptors and other predatory birds have largely rebounded, and there seems to be be no shortage of Brown Pelicans, Peregrine Falcons and Bald Eagles.

Sometimes it is too late, as they are deceased and Brahminy Kites and White-bellied Sea-Eagles usually take advantage of the situation. Speaking of pregnant snakes, do sea snakes lay their eggs ashore like sea turtles or do they keep them internally until the young are ready to hatch/ be born, like some sharks?
