I originally checked out this video from a couple days ago at Montezuma NWR because, starting around 10 minutes in, it shows the Cinnamon x Blue-winged Teal sporadically for several minutes. The hybrid has developed much more pronounced Blue-winged traits than when we first saw it on 1 Nov.
Later the video shows an extended sequence of 2 then 3 immature Bald Eagles chasing each other. I haven’t looked at the whole video tour. But the best bit I've looked at is shortly after the 29 minute mark when a single immature Bald Eagle breaks a long stick off the top of a tree, flies around carrying it, perches, flies again still carrying it, and finally drops it while perching a second time. I've seen an Osprey break off sticks to add to a nest, but the eagle is a new one for me. It's neat to see, even by a practicing bird presumably too young to nest. http://www.ustream.tv/recorded/77674728 <http://www.ustream.tv/recorded/77674728> --Dave Nutter -- Cayugabirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsWELCOME http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsRULES http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsSubscribeConfigurationLeave.htm ARCHIVES: 1) http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/maillist.html 2) http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/Cayugabirds 3) http://birdingonthe.net/mailinglists/CAYU.html Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --
