According to a report by The Guardian, Sea Eagles have returned to Loch Lomond for the first time in over a century! That's a longgg time. Since their arrival to the area in early March, they have since been seen searching for suitable nesting sites, suggesting that they intend to stay in the area. "It is believed that this is the first time sea eagles have settled in Loch Lomond since their UK extinction in the early 20th century due to persecution and habitat changes, with the last known UK sighting before their reintroduction reported in Shetlend in 1918."

NatureScot's operations manager, Paul Roberts, had this to say: "This is the latest chapter in the continuing success story of sea eagle conservation. Along with our partners, we carefully manage the reserve to offer rich and diverse habitats to support a wide range of birds and other wildlife, so it's very rewarding to see the sea eagles return to Loch Lomond after all these years. We're working closely with Loch Lomond and Trossachs National Park Authority (LLTNPA) and RSPB Scotland to protect the birds and we are urging visitors to enjoy the reserve responsibly and make sure they don't disturb them."

Way to go NatureScot! We love to hear about wildlife conservation success stories, looks like the sea eagles have made their return and are here to stay!!

We woke up this morning feeling a need for an extra pep in our step. These chirpy birbs filled that need completely. There's nothing like a little chirpiness in the mornings to leave you feeling refreshed and recharged! And what better way to add a little chirp to your step than with a goofy birb video dump. These awdorable birbs literally sing to us. How many people can say that they got sung to this morning? Hint, not a lot.

Recently, birds have totally captured our attention and interest. We've done pieces about parrots, the national bird of Kenya, along with our usual bird memes and humor. And yet our thirst for bird knowledge and content has not been quenched! This dudes literally speak to us in different cool accents. Birb power for the win.

Hello to all and to all a good day! Boy, do we have a treat for you today! It's not every day we get to witness the miracle of new life being brought into this world. Birth and life in the animal kingdom looks veryyy different from our human world. The American Robin goes through the (not so simple!) process of laying and incubating eggs until their bird babies are ready to hatch and enter the world! Birds are awesome.

The American Robin is an icon of American springtime, known for their bright orange bellies and beautiful songs! Fun fact: the American Robin is the state bird for Connecticut, Michigan, and Wisconsin. These birds have clearly captured  the attention these states' residents, and today they've captured ours as well! Let's watch this magical process.

The Lilac-Breasted Roller is the national bird of Kenya, and it is no secret why! These birds are absolutely beautiful, many consider them to be the most beautiful birds in the world. They boast a diverse pastel color pallet, including vibrant blues, purples, and oranges. Once spotted, it is hard to look away from them as they are completely mesmerizing!

Tsavo Trust, an action oriented, field based, Kenyan not for profit conservation organization, says that: 'As the global pandemic continues, people across the world are finding themselves confined to their houses, running out of ways to entertain themselves. Well, for anyone living in Kenya, it might be the perfect time to go bird-watching. Kenya boasts over 1000 species of bird…However, there is one bird that is inarguably a Kenyan national treasure. Indeed, for many people, this bird is considered a national symbol for Kenya. Yes, that bird is the lilac-breasted roller. The roller is perhaps the only bird in Kenya that, when sighted, provokes as much crooning as the sighting of a lion or cheetah.'

These magnificent birds have got our full attention, lets learn more!
