Bucovina Golden Eagles ~ Zenit Practices Wing Exercises & Talon Grabbing Skills! 😊 7.12.21

Описание: It was a quiet day for Zenit with only one visit by Mom when she brought in a spruce branch for the nest. She did not stay long after her dropping off her branch and Zenit will pick it up and practice grabbing it and also the hare bones on the nest with his/her talons. Zenit is resourceful and certainly is entertaining! 😊

Zenit is starting to do more vigorous wingercising at this stage. At ten weeks old, Zenit is gaining more strength each day in both wings and legs. I would not be surprised to see Zenit branching in the next few days. 😊 Thank you for watching!

This nest is located in a remote area of Bucovina Romania where a pair of Golden Eagles have been nesting and raising their young. The Wild Bucovina Association is a non government and non profit organization that has set up a new webcam recently to observe a rare pair of golden eagles raise their chick. This pair has been observed locally for the past 6 years. Setting up the cam has spooked the male and he had not been back to the nest. On 6/13/21 the male returned to the nest with prey for the first time since the cam installation.The female is hunting and taking care of their chick.The male has been seen and photographed flying with the female close to the nest and is also hunting for the family. Due to the sensitive nature of nest disturbance & the consequences involved, caution is advised while viewing this wild golden eagle nest.
