I rewrote my website earlier this year and moved it from Python and FastAPI to Swift and Vapor. I'm still working on updating my birds page, but in the meantime here are some brief notes on the live cams I've been watching recently.
Pip watch for bald eagles Jackie & Shadow starts this coming week. They have 2 eggs this year, so hopefully we'll have two chicks to watch soon.
The chick on the NZ northern royal albatross cam continues to be one of my favourites lately. He's super cute when he works on his nest, or does his little pre-poo dance, and he's getting bigger all the time.
A new-to-me cam that I'm enjoying this week is the Midway Atoll live cam, which is full of laysan albatross chicks, and young adults socialising and looking for mates.
The Philippine Eagle Foundation has a chick on their live cam during the day at the moment, which is another favourite of mine lately. Overnight the cam shows adults in a separate parts of the conservation centre.
The peregrine falcon chicks in Singapore are growing fast, and often hiding in corners, so it can take some searching to figure out where they all are, sometimes.
The Winter Park bald eagle nest has been one of my favourites to watch this year. After a worrying start, with the older chick (later named Brutus) being very rough with its younger sibling (now called Peanut), they both survived and seemed to get along just fine. A few days ago an owl attacked the nest and knocked Brutus out, who was rescued the following morning by the team monitoring the cameras. Brutus hasn't been back to the nest since, but Peanut's still there, working hard to get ready for fledging soon.
In Europe, a few eagle nests have started incubating eggs recently: this golden eagle nest in Estonia, white-tailed eagles in Latvia, and white-tailed eagles in Scotland. There's also this common buzzard nest cam in Hungary, and no eggs yet, but the Manton Bay ospreys in England have been spending a lot of time in their nest during the day lately, so possibly eggs won't be too far away.
