I record videos from live stream cameras in Latvia , Estonia and around the world.

To this end, the Foundation works to ensure the practical protection of nature protection and to educate the public on the importance of nature diversity. Since 2012, the Latvian Fund for Nature has also been involved in the transfer of online cameras from protected bird nests in Latvia. Over the past five years, it has been possible to keep track of the nesting of five protected birds.

Since 2007, the Eagle Club has been running live web-cameras on the nests of protected bird species - black stork, white-tailed eagle, greater and lesser spotted eagles, osprey and golden eagle.
It looks like #2 is going to survive his sibling's attacks as long as it remembers who eats first. #2 won't be forgetting that anytime soon. Lesson learned. Way to "hang in there", #2! Thank you, lizm.
Jo,since this year hardly anyone in the forum has documented anything. I am mainly with my Latvian black storks. So I only document special events with the golden eagles. I didn't have time to observe the 2 hours of feeding closely. But I don't think it spat out the pellet. Feeding started shortly after Mom arrived. It was able to eat. I was surprised that it was possible.
I saw that too. I was just telling my bf about that, how all the things they can't digest, feathers, fur, bones, toenails, all get rolled up and cast out like a big hairball. Then I had to explain hairballs. 😸
They were down feathers. But it looks like #1 has damaged the skin very badly. It could be that nothing will grow there anymore. We will see, #2 will stay in the nest long enough until it has the juvenile feathers
#2 knows he must wait until #1 is finished eating to eat himself if there is any food left. He looks all worried when #1 just even looks at him. I'm happy both ate well 😊
this behavior shows mom that #2 is hungry and it shows the older sibling that it will wait. This way no further injuries will happen. And, Mom feeds as soon as #1 has had enough.
