Bucovina ~ Mom Spends Time On Nest Preening Her Eaglet! Soft Chitterings Of Contentment! 💕 6.14.21

Mom flies into the nest and wakes up her chick ♥ The chick gets up to stretch its legs and starts chittering at Mom and then puts its head under her chest feathers because it was raining. Notice how the chittering got muffled under Mom's feathers! She starts to do some light preening on her chick before she moves around the nest. The chick follows her tucking its head back underneath her feathers and chitters softly as Mom does some preening and picking off little bugs. A beautiful and peaceful moment in time with Mother and her chick. 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.
