OK I'll start this off. Czech Republic jays and a red squirrel.

South-West Florida Bald Eagles. It's heartwarming to know the 2 chicks from Harriet and M15's second brood are thriving and ready to leave the nest, after the loss of the chick from brood 1.
Link to the live cam and videos. There's some wonderful dedicated followers who post great videos.
The Dunedin NZ Royal Northern Albatross chick was weighed a couple of days ago, at 152 days old, coming in at 8.5kg.

That is quite a weight Korky. They are fascinating birds as not only do they live long, the chicks can take anywhere between 5 and 10 months to Fledge.
I have never seen an Albatross when I have been at sea on cruises, but have seen Frigate birds which also glide more than fly. What does fascinate me though, we see various species of Booby's which will follow the ship for the whole day, they appear from no where and then you look and they are gone. Love watching them fish. I can sit all day just watching them.

A beautiful morning in Dunedin. The albatross chick, 166 days old and 8.1kg, which is 0.4kg less than she weighed 2 weeks ago. They're entirely dependent on their parents to feed them so maybe there have been fewer visits recently and/or less food provided. From what I read, she's moulting her down so maybe that's a factor!
