Also this year, thanks to the perfectly camouflaged webcam, it was possible to admire the spectacular scenes of the nesting of the couple of the real eagles and the birth of the eagle.
The nest, located not far away the inhabited area of Alcara Li Fusi, in a rocky ravine of the Rocche del Crasto in the Nebrodi park, is statistically the most prolific at national level. In addition to this, in Sicilian territory alone, there are a dozen couples of real eagles that reproduce, and not always successfully.
To date, connecting to the official website of the Nebrodi Park Authority: www.parcodeinebrodi.it, You can assist, live, everything that happens at the nesting point. Streaming has already collected the attention of numerous enthusiasts and scholars, who have been following the growth of the young rapacious for weeks.
The eagle has passed the six weeks of life and begins to change the appearance: in fact, the first, dark -colored pens, begin to replace the white white duvet that covered it at birth.
The young specimen showed a particularly decisive character: already at 18 days he was able to reach and feed himself by the prey left by his parents, without waiting for it to be taken.
The inquiry is scheduled for August 7, when the eagle will have about 75 days. From that moment he will be cared for by the parents for the next 2-3 months, a period during which he will learn everything there is to know to become autonomous, after which he will leave the territory of the parents and the erratic phase of his life will begin, lasting about 5 years, that is, until the sexual maturity is achieved. During this period he will look for new areas to colonize and a partner with whom to train a new couple.
The extraordinary commissioner of the Nebrodi Park Authority, Dr. Alfonso di Piazzadeclares: “The birth and positive development of the royal eagle on the Rocche del Crasto represent an important signal of the vitality of our ecosystem and confirm the effectiveness of the environmental protection actions put in place by the Park Authority. The ability to follow the video monitoring system live live reinforces the link between institutions, communities and territory, promoting a widespread culture of conservation and respect for biodiversity “.
And precisely to protect the historic nesting point of L’Aquila, with a specific managerial measure, the Parco dei Nebrodi body has temporarily suspended the hiking activities on a stretch of path that runs alongside, the valley side, the nest until 30 August. The use of the path will still be allowed to farmers and shepherds who carry out traditional activities in the area.
