Eagle Chat

This is a short clip of a noisy, talkative eagle. This bird was voicing some objections to another eagle’s presence, a few hundred meters away. Obviously, some important rules of etiquette were not being observed.

 

 

 The background noise you can hear throughout the video is the sound of a CSL “self-unloader”, a large cargo ship which is unloading gypsum onto barges, right here, in these beautiful islands…

Saturday’s Eagle, Transformed

The other morning (well, Saturday morning, in fact…), an eagle landed on the “perch tree” in front of the house. I think it’s a young adult, because its head feathers are not quite all white.
