That little runt doesnt get fed so worried about that. Mom brought big fish back the other day and he didnt get any despite holding his mouth open...heartbreaking
OT: Rain
- Thread starter Extra Point
- Start date
They both are getting their share of the sushi. And they both seem to be doing well.
Everyone ready for the possibility of a bit of snow on Thursday? Likely to be mostly/all rain for the area but April snow is not unheard of around here and the medium range models have trended colder and whiter (especially well NW of 95). Also, every April snowstorm we've ever had looked like mostly rain 5 days out. And this could be a major snowstorm for interior NY/ New England. Last chance...
Stop. Get out and play Frisbee golf Thursday, I'll be on my bike.
I can't the remember the last spring that I enjoyed. It's one terrible one after another.Brutal!!! Can we get some good spring weather
Brutal!!! Can we get some good spring weather

Spring is generally a gloomy wet cool mess. September and October much much nicer

It’s overrated, seems like a few nice days mixed in with about 30 damp chilly days. Hopefully next week is better like it’s supposed to be
I saw that. Was a wood duck which is a little sad. Now they are catching stocked trout.
they are getting some good stuff lately but it sucks they have to endure all the rain the last few weeks
You're probably right, I mostly base my take on springs in how much it interferes with my mountain biking and camping, this spring (and winter) it's been terrible, I've ridden the trails since last Thanksgiving just a handful of times, and this spring the same story.
It's bad etiquette to ride trails when they're muddy reason being it damages the trails. And with rains like this you still have to wait a number of days for them to get dry.
That’s why last year was so nice here in jersey, I registered less than a half an inch of rain for all of May. Plus that heat wave in April.
After reading this thread, I have concluded it should be renamed/repurposed for the eagle cam. Now that I have seen it, I can't stop following it and pulling for the baby runt.
Definitely
And the runt is making such a comeback
Going to be tough to fish today with high and flowing waters but maybe a squirrel on the menu
Rough stretch today. It looks like they're fasting.
And staying in for the day. That wind is pretty severe.
We had gusts as high as 47mph here. Not bad comsidering up to 60 was projected. Only minor tidal flooding.
The sea was angry yesterday, my friends, angry like an old man trying to send back soup at a deli.
I noticed that earlier but he/she eventually got a share. Needs to be 1st in line next time
Blowin' and a snowin' up top here above Boone NC today. Thru tomorrow the forecast is calling for up to 6". Don't see that happening based on a dusting so far....
Over the years the Duke nest has had several turtles, a cat, and even a red tailed hawk (the last one was amazing… the dumb hawk flew right into the nest where the eagle proceeded to kill it on camera .. looked like a NY subway 🤔😉).
I’ve been watching the Duke nest for years and the runt(s) usually survive. The hatchlings grow incredibly fast. It only takes 3 days difference in hatching time for a chick to outgrow its sibling(s) to the point where one is “the runt.” By the time they fledge in late June/early July they are actually larger/heavier than the adults. I understand this is because the chicks feather shafts actually contain a small amount of blood that eventually goes away.
A few other Eagle facts: Female eagles are typically larger than the males, mortality rate for all eagles is pretty high in the first year, banded eagles get a silver federal band AND a green NJ band (each state has a different color scheme), there are over 150 active Eagle nests in NJ most years.
