Late Saturday in Bird World
13 June 2026 Hello Everyone, First, Salmon Idaho is an osprey nest not a Bald Eagle which is what I inadvertently said in my last posting. Apologies. There is still issues with baling twine all over that region. It is endemic to farming where they should be looking at other methods than twine and cord.Continue reading “Late Saturday in Bird World”
Chick at Hellgate doing well, RJ does the shake shake and gets that fish hook out of its talon…late Saturday in Bird World
13 June 2026 Greetings Everyone, My goodness. First up. Some good news. At the NCTC nest of Bella and Scout, RJ got a fishhook attached to a stick stuck in its talon.

Could have causedContinue reading “Chick at Hellgate doing well, RJ does the shake shake and gets that fish hook out of its talon…late Saturday in Bird World”
Golden Eagle female missing and chick cannot self-feed…late Friday in Bird World
12 June 2026 The female at the Golden Eagle 2 nest in Estonia has been missing since the 11 June.

First bites of fish
11 June 2026 I don’t know about you but I am so overjoyed that if my house blew away today it would probably not have even phased me. Clark arrived. Saw the shell, listened to Iris, saw his first baby and went fishing. Within three hours, he had brought in three fish. It is 1827Continue reading “First bites of fish”
Clark arrives with a fish…
11 June 2026 The time was 12:42:50. Clark arrives with a small fish for Iris and gets a surprise – the hatch of his first chick! Iris was so hungry, and this will feed her, but we need lots more fish as this baby gets bigger. I wonder if Iris will try to feed theContinue reading “Clark arrives with a fish…”
Hatch continues at Hellgate with no Clark and no fish and will more people speak up for ospreys?
11 June 2026 Greetings, If you have read my blog for the past three years, you will be very familiar with the word ‘Menhaden’, a species of fish that is crucial for ospreys in certain regions of the world. In fact, it is the basis of the ecosystem of The Chesapeake Bay where many speciesContinue reading “Hatch continues at Hellgate with no Clark and no fish and will more people speak up for ospreys?”
Iris leaves eggs for fish, Little Bob Dies…Thursday in Bird World
11 June 2026 Hello Everyone, It is a heavily overcast morning with light rain that is making the garden appear to be the most gorgeous emerald green.

The foliage is so thick I can only see them onContinue reading “Iris leaves eggs for fish, Little Bob Dies…Thursday in Bird World”

10 June 2026 Hello Everyone, Further to the posting of the industrial accident at the Longview Paper Mill in Washington State, USA, ‘MP’ has researched how you can help the most to get attention to the nests where the chicks are dying due to a lack of fish because of the explosion and release ofContinue reading “How Can I Actually Help?”
Toxic emissions kill fish…Late Wednesday in Bird World
10 June 2026 Hello Everyone, Thank you so much for your notes. I learned about ‘Thunder Vests’ from ‘P’ and have ordered one for Toby who was frightened by thunder of last night’s storms. Our environmentalists tell us that we should expect our lives to have more storms during the summer – and this isContinue reading “Toxic emissions kill fish…Late Wednesday in Bird World”
