Golden Eagle, immature, Little Morro Creek Road, Morro Bay, CA

Most likely two immatures, fighting over food.
Here are comments by experienced birders:

Good Morning Petra,
With similar amounts of white on the tail (read lots of white...), I would say both of those birds are juveniles and were hatched/fledged this year. I don't think it was a food exchange because of the both bird's ages. I think it was a sibling trying to take a food item away from the other. The first bird came down and might have gotten/might not have gotten a piece of what the second bird (the one that flew away and landed on the ground...) was eating. But the second bird retained some or all of what it had been snacking on.
Good eyes on picking up on what was happening. And thanks for sharing...

Hi Petra,
From the freeze frames in your eBird checklist, the bird on the left, which appears to be the recipient of the food exchange, is pretty clearly a younger bird (in its first year), as evidenced by the broad white base to the tail. The bird delivering the prey looks to me to be an adult.
I know that among the larger eagles in South America (Harpy, Crested, Chaco) and Africa (Martial, Crowned), the juveniles continue to be fed by their parents for a long time, often up to a year, after leaving the nest – apparently it takes a long time to learn how to hunt large prey! And, in most of those species, pairs only nest every other year, given that the parents are still taking care of their youngster from the previous year. Anyway, it wouldn’t surprise me if young Golden Eagles didn’t also continue to at least occasionally be delivered food by their parents after fledging, at least for a month or two.

Both birds look like one-yr-olds (SYs in banding terminology). The images of the flying bird in the sky is definitely an SY so if this is one of the others it would help confirm this. The white-based tail feathers are juvenile, which they keep for the first year, and the worn wings and beginnings of molt indicate they are not recent
fledglings. They don't start breeding until at least 2-3 years old so I wouldn't consider either one of them an adult.
I can't help with the behavioral question but it would seem they may have been fighting over some food.

Very cool capture on the eagle interaction! Based on the amount of white in the tails, the 1 that initiated has to be an immature - and as best I can tell, there's a hint of some white in the tail on the one that flew off to feed elsewhere but I can't say for sure if it's a subadult or a full adult. My guess is that the immature (can't say for sure if maybe this was a larger bird, which could suggest a female) was trying to chase the other off a kill and I suspect it partially succeeded the way it landed right where it chased the other off - but, the subadult/adult (if actually smaller than the other, a male?) clearly carried off part of the kill. Maybe a larger ground-squirrel or marmot??
I've heard of this in Bald Eagles where juveniles/immatures tend to be more brazen/even reckless in trying to steal prey from the adults (more experienced/successful hunters) as the risk/reward is a better proposition for a younger bird faced with hunger/starvation - I imagine maybe the same is at play here?

Hi Petra,
My apologies for the delayed reply. It appears that both of the eagles have some white at the base of the tail so I believe that both are immatures. Because of their ages, I don’t think this was a “food exchange” in the traditional sense but rather on bird trying to steal food from another. It looks like the bird that initially had the food flew off and continued eating it after being temporarily interrupted by another eagle.

Peter-und-Paul-Kirche - Het Janke-Orgel.
Sinds 1977 is de kerk aan haar 5é orgel toe. Het huidige orgel is een Janke-orgel. Rudolf Janke (geboren 02 december 1930 in Göttingen) is een Duitse orgelbouwer uit Bovenden. Hij stond bekend om zijn restauratie van historische orgels in Noord-Duitsland. Daarnaast heeft zijn bedrijf nieuwe opmerkelijke orgels gebouwd, die grotendeels gebaseerd zijn op modellen van de Noord-Duitse barokorgels. Het huidige orgel kreeg in 2008 een grondige restauratie door de Fa. Udo Feopentow uit Wienhausen.
Het instrument staat aan de noordzijde van de kerk, in plaats van op de traditionele plaats voor het kerkorgel, het oksaal aan de westzijde van het schip. (Ingang van de kerk aan de toren.)
Het eerste orgel werd geschonken in 1616, het tweede dateert van 1738 tot 1770. In 1795 krijgt de kerk haar derde orgel, het vierde kwam er in 1927.
Organiste in deze kerk is de Japanse Hiroko Tsutsui-Fitschen.

New research suggests that ’likes’ and clicking links online are not enough to ensure long-term sales. Brands need to get people typing comments and more involved with content if they are to turn them into actual customers.The consumers who most actively use branded social media content are the ones most likely to maintain a relationship with those brands in future, claims new research for Marketing Week.
Seventy-eight per cent of people visiting and interacting with a brand’s Facebook page are likely to continue the relationship by visiting its website or considering it for purchase. Just thirty-four per cent of the people who say they are unlikely to interact with a brand’s social media presence on Facebook are likely to do the same.With the role of social media under question, Starcom MediaVest Group’s strategic development director Jim Kite explains: “The deeper the interaction with social media, the greater the likelihood of moving the consumer from enquiry to brand preference.”
The research draws on a study using a representative sample of 6,000 regular Facebook, YouTube and Twitter users in June. They were asked to spend several minutes interacting with content on brands’ Facebook and YouTube pages in product categories where they had already registered an interest. Respondents were asked to participate in activities requiring a range of involvement, from watching videos, posting comments, playing games and following brands on Twitter or tweeting about them.
The study claims that it is not just being aware of brands on social media platforms that leads people to continue that relationship or buy goods. It is the level of interaction or “doing something” with branded content that has a bearing.

Although usually lacking the supporting cast of clouds, the sunsets of the back of "Let's Talk Trash" are beautiful! This was the last day on vacation and had a great day at the beach.
A Little bit of HDR in this one to make the clouds pop.
Thanks to EVERYBODY to COMMENTS and VISITS in my photos!!!

The Hare Krishna mantra, also referred to reverentially as the Maha Mantra ("Great Mantra"), is a sixteen-word Vaishnava mantra which first appears in the Kali-Santarana Upanishad, and which from the 16th century rises to importance in the Bhakti movement following the teachings of Chaitanya Mahaprabhu. According to Gaudiya Vaishnava theology, this higher consciousness takes the form of pure love of God (Krishna). Since the 1960s, the mantra has been made well known outside of India by A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada and his International Society for Krishna Consciousness. The Hare Krishna mantra is composed of Sanskrit names in the vocative case: Hare, Krishna, and Rama. It is an anustubh poetry stanza:
Hare Krishna Hare Krishna
Krishna Krishna Hare Hare
Hare Rama Hare Rama
Rama Rama Hare Hare (wikipedia)

My original comment about this high cross read as follows: As you walk along a lonely country lane from the LUAS tram stop at Laughanstown to the old church at Tully the first thing of note that you will see is a well preserved high cross. The cross was saved from destruction by James Grehan in the later part of the nineteenth century. The road next to the cross was being lowered and James Grehan had this small wall built and the cross placed upon it at it's original height.
Today it is nearly the end of 2017 and I have just realised that Dublin [Greater Dublin] is now changing faster than I can photograph the changes and as a result I really do need to review my programme for 2018. I think that the changes are more rapid than in the Celtic Tiger period.
Today as the sunlight was magical I decided to use my 15mm Voigtlander with my new Sony A7RIII body and I was more than a little bit surprised by the results. I am now convince that the Sony A7RIII is very much superior to the A7RII. Also while I was inclined to avoid using the Voigtlander 15mm until now I must confess that I was really impressed by it when combined with the A7RIII.
Every time I publish photographs of Laughanstown I receive mail advising me that I made a spelling error and that the name of the area is Loughlinstown. I am one hundred percent certain that there is no tram stop named Loughlinstown but to be fair I cannot blame anyone for being confused as it could well be argued that Laughanstown is in Loughlinstown.
Today, I met a very helpful lady on the tram who was convinced that I was totally confused about my destination. Even when I showed her photographs of the old church and graveyard she was not at all convinced that I was not confused.
I think that I last visited the area about a year ago so I was not really expecting to see any changes. In the past I was able to access the historic sites via a narrow country lane. Today I was a bit disappointed to discover that access to a really old historic cross was barred because of a major redevelopment. I met a gentleman, walking his dog, and was surprised to discover that he was East European [he look like a local farmer and I suspect that he actually was a farmer] but he explained to me that the area was being redeveloped as a public park with a major road passing through it and that I could only gain access to the site from Carrikmines. As the sunset was approaching I decided that it was best to come back at a later date.
[UPDATE... Further Research Resulted In The Following Information]
Tully Park is located at the centre of the Cherrywood development, and the park itself is centred on the ruins of the Tully Church and Graveyard. Tully Park will be 22 acres in size, roughly the same as Dublin’s St. Stephen’s Green Park.
Being the flagship park of Cherrywood, Tully Park will serve as a facility for the entire development, containing everyday walking and cycling routes and providing environmentally-positive connections.
Lehaunstown Lane and the existing hedgerows and tree lines will divide the Park naturally into four zones:
A Heritage Zone with Tully Church & Graveyard, High Crosses and their environs, with paths to explore the monuments.
A Biodiversity Zone with lots of native wildflowers, shrubs, trees and informal paths to wander.
A Play Zone which includes a large play area for kids, a skate park and an amphitheater area for open-air plays or performances.
A Passive Zone with lawns, meadows and wooded areas make up the majority here, with winding paths and seating areas.
Tully Park will be located beside a primary and secondary school. These schools and the local community will be able to avail of the outdoor recreational facilities and open space within Tully Park.
