A few recent shots of the adorable royal albatross chick in NZ. He spends a lot of time alone these days, since the parents are mostly gone looking for food.

I'm currently working on a total rewrite of my medication tracking app, Hello Meds. One of the changes I'm making is to support two types of medications so users can either track doses in mg, or in number of pills per dose (currently only mg doses are supported). I'm also adding optional colour-coding per medication, because colour-coded things helps my brain a lot.
Just one tawny owl chick left in this nest box now, since its siblings have fledged.

Very snowy for the white-tailed eagles in Russia today! The golden eagle nest in Romania (second pic) had some snow yesterday too, but it's mostly melted away now.

Plateau chick sure gets some pretty skies where he lives.
Jackie & Shadow's second clutch of eggs have both hatched! (The first clutch broke/were eaten by ravens.) They hatched really close together, so they're a similar size, and both aggressive so far, so I can never tell which one is older. Both doing well so far, and getting lots of food and protection, of course.

I watched a tawny owl nest box last year and they were pretty cute, but owls all seem to grow up crazy fast. They only take around a month before they leave the box, at least for tawny and barred owls.
Some more live nest cam links to keep an eye on in future. Four (4!) different golden eagle nests have started having visits from the parents, renovating the nest and getting it ready for the upcoming season. Not a lot of activity yet, but it'll only increase in the coming weeks.
