European Critters

Here are some cam pics from EENet in Estonia. Below is their Tree Sparrow...

Two tree sparrows and a greenfinch. Actually saw them change the suet ball at this session!...
Wild boars at the Tartu County site.... Most of the rowdies hang out at the West Viru County site. The sounds are more like bears than "little piggies". Both boar sites are lit, so can be seen evenings, our time.

The Eagle's Nest

Supreme nestorations aided by the WIND.......

Park Eagle Nest Jan., 2010

Morning of Jan. 16 revealed TWO in the nest, altho somewhat blurry. This will be the third year they've nested in this area. (Wish they had a weed whacker!)

Two heads are better than one....

Heads and tails... First sighting this season of adult in the nest. It had been standing tall, probably doing nestorations.

Eagles at the Park Jan. 5, 2010

This "old" juvie was perched next to the road near the Visitor's Center...

Saw this one land. Don't know if it was a different one, or not.
An adult came to same area in the afternoon....

...and then flew to the osprey platform. It left and caused a big flurry among the seagulls...

Landed on frozen Jug Bay.....

Winter Birds

Greenfinch at the bottom with a Blue Tit on the EENet bird feeder cam...

Birds at the Park

Almost orange! Mockingbird behind the winterberry...
Tufted titmouse with goldfinch friends. Some still have a slight tinge of yellow...

New Year Birds

This lovely bird joind a sparrow at the EENet cam feeder early on 1-4-10. It is a Great Tit and in the same family as the American titmice and chickadees.

Going for a spin........
Carolina wren at the Park... Our favorite red-bellied buddy at home.......
