Re: Trump and the Jan 6 investigation
Equality before the law, liberty within the law, nobody above the law. That, in brief, is what the Rule of Law means. A lofty idea that we often fall short of, but still one we should and must strive for lest "Justice" become nothing more than a stamp of legitimization for the rich and po...

Re: Musk vs Unions in Sweden
Like Enterprise said: Since Sweden is a part of the Schengen area, Tesla can get workers from its places in other countries. It is extremely frowned upon, but not technically illegal (I would love to see the work contract on those hired in people. They work for Tesla in other countries.). When Musk ...

Musk vs Unions in Sweden
I don't mind EV's. I don't mind Tesla cars, but would never own one myself as I like buttons in my car, but I don't like Union breakers and it gives me a warm, fuzzy feeling that Elon Musk still not quite understands his problems in Sweden when he refused his workers a collective agreement, somethin...

Re: Live from the eagle's nest
The original couple won and there's 3 eggs in the nest. It's all routine now. Male hunts fish, gives fish to female. Female flies away to eat while male keep the eggs warm. Female return after a while and they swap. Male goes hunting. Repeat.

Re: Live from the eagle's nest
The nestcam is back, now with sound.
The osprey couple from last year is back, but another couple also claims the nest. Who will win the right to it? Time will show.

You must not sleep (poem)
A strong poem by Arnulf Øverland. He wrote it just before the start of WW2, but it's just as valid today. English translation first, then the original: YOU MUST NOT SLEEP! I awoke one night from a disturbing dream; It felt as if a strange voice spoke earnestly, Low as a faint, subterranean stream. I...

Re: Live from the eagle's nest
The mother is currently in Morocco. The whereabouts of the others are unknown, since they don't have trackers. The nest is empty and the camera has been taken down. https://i.imgur.com/1syfq67.jpg https://i.imgur.com/S2Qk7vW.jpg https://i.imgur.com/sMPLqxZ.jpg A branch behind the camera the birds of...

Re: Live from the eagle's nest
It seems like the ospreys have left the nest now. Only a crow is sometimes visiting from time to time, in hope of a snack left behind. The fledglings won't come back to Norway until 2025, if they survive, and not to the same nest. If the parents survive, they will try to use the same nest next spring.

Re: Live from the eagle's nest
Most certainly not desert in the nest now. Cold rain and the forecast say it will stay this way for a few days. https://i.imgur.com/5aEOvJ7.jpg Mother is now around Le Mans, France. (She has a tracker.) If a fledgling isn't able to catch its own food soon, it will starve and die. They're already lat...

Re: Live from the eagle's nest
The mother has now left the nest to migrate south. Her goal is a place in west Sahara. The fledglings and father remain a little while longer, but soon the fledglings will depart south, then the father will "close" the nest for the winter and leave a little later. The kids have both manage...

Re: Live from the eagle's nest
Both eaglets are now grown up in size and fly around and often sit on branches outside the camera's coverage. They still get fed from the parents. Nest is often empty, but not always. Is is correct to call them eaglets when they're grown? They are now like late teenagers, I guess. Kinda fully grown...

Re: Live from the eagle's nest
As I have often pointed out to people, in nature predators don't hunt to kill , they hunt to eat . With sometimes unfortunate implications for the meal. Concepts like "a clean kill" and "a humane death" are entirely human concepts, and not even universal amongst our kind. There'...

Re: Live from the eagle's nest
Well, it's a bit fuzzy, but when they leave the nest for good they're definitely eagles. Before that use your judgement - do they look more like adults or babies at this point? Definitely more like grown eagles now. Maybe just call them the offspring for now. Mother came with a very alive fish arou...

Re: Live from the eagle's nest
One eaglet is now flying around a little while the other is still at most just hovering a bit above the nest. Just a few days more, and they will both be flying around.
