LPC Loon Cam 2 ~ Bald Eagle Encounter At Loon Nest! 😲 Dad Loon Defends Nest! 7.11.24
Вставка
- Опубліковано 6 сер 2024
- Eagles and loons have shared territories but it is always is a bit concerning when an eagle sets its sights on a loon nest with eggs/chicks. Dad loon was incubating the eggs when he sees a large eagle flying over the nest and he instinctively dives into the water. When he emerges, he wails his alerting call to his partner and other loons that a danger is close at hand. Dad remains circling the nest area the entire time the eagle was a threat.
The eagle landed on the shore and stayed about eleven minutes. Notice the full crop on eagle - it had just recently had a big meal so it was not hungry. It also appeared to be a big eagle most likely a female. The eagle will fly off and veer towards the tall trees behind the nest. We have a good view of both of the beautiful eggs and then Dad loon returns to the nest and incubates the eggs remaining alert for any future threats. Thank you for watching!

The loons are identified by coded leg bands.
Female: Left leg: white stripe (white background with a horizontal black stripe through the middle) over blue
Right leg: Silver over yellow stripe (yellow background with a horizontal black stripe through the middle)
Male:
Left leg: Blue stripe (blue background with a horizontal white stripe through the middle) over orange dot (orange background with a black dot in the middle)
Right leg: Blue dot (blue background with a white dot in the middle) over silver
The female at the Cam 2 nest was banded in 2017. She's been on territory in recent years, with the exception of 2023. That year, she was seen in this territory and in neighboring ones, but no pair ever settled down to nest.

White lotus flowers and birds are beautiful! 🤗🦅🦢🌼🌼🌼
Great daddy protect the precious eggs 🙏🥚🤍❤️❤️
Life is just as tough for all critters in the wild,
Loon Dad is on full alert when Mighty Eagle is seen and always a threat,😮
So glad eagle is simply passing by the territory with full crop,
Love hearing those warning vocals from Dad,
Best of luck to this beautiful fsmily,
Thanks Lady Hawk❤
That was good defence from dad loon and his haunting calls to let everyone on the lake know about possible danger ⚡👍😊🦆🦅 Unexpected encounter with beautiful eagle but looks like not posing danger. Rather observing area and resting 😊❤ 😇 Stay safe and be vigilant dear loon dad 🙏 I can't wait for hatching time which starts on Sunday I think 💕🥰 🥚🥚❤🙏 🐣🐣 Tysm for lovely coverage of this event and wish you good weekend my friend 💝 ☺️ 💐🍓💗
This area is filled with lily pads and fish tend to linger under lily pads so l can see why this Eagle is lurking about. Dad did a great job protecting his nest and alerting. TY Ladyhawk.
He’s quite a beauty. All the patterns. So intricate. I love his voice. I’m glad the eagle didn’t stick around.
The way they waddle reminds me of a penguin. A bit of a thriller for a few mins! 💜🙏💜🙏💜
❤❤❤
Nothing like being a sitting duck, I mean Loon! 😉
As long as this bald eagle is satisfied with fish, the loon family is safe 🤞🍀 Good job Dad😃📢🎶 Thank you Lady Hawk for sharing 🤗
Ahhh ... Lady Hawk ... an uncomfy combination of my 2 most favorite species .... She's a lovely, lovely eagle; however, I'm very hopeful she was just passing through and will give our loon couple the peace they need to (successfully) raise their chicks.
I think that it's not a very good neighborhood. I hope everything will be OK. Thanks for your interesting video!❤
Whew, happy all is well - thank you LH ❤
Dad was so fast getting into the water - glad the eagle spoke out and had a big crop or things could have taken a different turn. Thanks, Lady Hawk - lots of excitement on the loon cams! 💜🌻
Wonderful capturing , What a Beautiful Eagle sure looked Large and glad of her full crop clearly a great Survivor and stopping by the water for sips , Meanwhile Dad Loon feeling in despair straight into Defence mode , Wonderful moments of Nature ❤, Very Glad all was ok here and no harm done🙏❤💫 Otherwise its so amazing to see different species together ❤, Keep safe Beautiful Loon family and Eagle 💫🤍💫🤍 Your both Amazing! Tysvm Dear Lady Hawk for sharing a Beautiful footage and those Precious Loon eggs🙏🙏 Wishing you and all Friends a Wonderful evening and a Beautiful Blessed Saturday 🫂💜🤗🌹💞❣🌺💐💫
Spot on,you said it all:)

Как им будет страшно плавать тут с детьми 🥚🥚
Beautiful bird.
GE Lady Hawk! Thank you for capturing this and what great footage! Dad loon made for the safety of that water in a split second, impressive! I think this video is very educational showing exactly how a Loon reacts and tries to protect itself from an Apex Predator like this impressive female we saw here. She was the dominant force on this whole lake so I'm sure Dad Loons calls let every bird know there was danger lurking nearby. I am relieved the female Eagle didn't disturb the eggs as that would've been heartbreaking for all of us as I am watching this nest as well. Great coverage LH! SEDs💜🌚🌙🦅
Oh my! 😮 thx for the video LH.. I pray there will be peace here 👀
🥰💕💕 I'm so glad Daddy Loon was in alert mode and his survival instincts kicked in when he saw that mighty big eagle. 💞💞 Oh yeah!! Daddy Loon boldly defended his precious eggs and nest area. 💕💕 Well done Daddy Loon!! Defend and protect your precious eggs and nest!! 💪 Bless his hearts. 🙌❤️🙌 Oh those two beautiful precious eggs!! 🥚🥚Wishing a successful hatch soon. 🐣🌱🐣 Oh dear!! Can't wait to see two tiny loons soon. 🐥🐥May God bless and protect our loons and eagles always..🙏💞💞🙏 Thank you so much for this awesome coverage, Lady Hawk. 💙💙 Love and blessings to you, dear friend. 💐💙🥰🥰💕❤️🥚🥚💖💕🙏
Thank you Lady Hawk.
Well now that was a close call 😯 I hope the eagle doesn't come back hungry to eat these eggs!
I've seen a Raven carry off both chicken and duck eggs, but maybe too small for an eagle to mess with
Eagles don’t go for eggs
Какое гнездо построили на воде безопасное для этих птичек. 😮Молодец кто придумал, Орëл не подберëтся и также другие птицы хищные тоже не смогут навредить.
Wow, it's like a Lady Hawk TV crossover, but not one we want to see.
😰😳❤
Hi Lady Hawk! This is my first time here with the Lion nest, actually I don’t think I’ve ever seen a loon. This area is so beautiful, where is this. Have a wonderful evening
I belive this lake is in New Hampshire
Seemed the Eagle just wanted to chill by the waters edge....But, who knows !!🙂
