The youngest eaglet on the MN-DNR was pushed off the nest by the eldest a short while ago. Nancy is feeding the eldest. I do not know if there will be a search party for the eaglet and/or Harry.
Early Saturday in Bird World

I went to the UK as a Commonwealth Scholar in 1990 and received my PhD from the University of Leicester in 1993. After three decades of university teaching, I retired to devote my time to the study of raptor behaviour. I am particularly interested in Ospreys and am working on a long term project on third hatch survival and siblicide in these raptors. My blog is a result of a fascination with my local wildlife and the desire to encourage others to love and care for birds! I live on the Canadian Prairies and prior to the pandemic travelled a lot. I am questioning the use of aviation fuel at the moment as we all strive to help our planet. My early research was in politics and art including British public statues exported to Southeast Asia and Vietnam Resistors that contributed much to Canadian ceramics. Books and articles were published on those subjects over a period of 3 decades. Now I am working on books for children so they can learn about the challenges our raptors face.

Mary Ann I am so sad to learn that one eaglet knocking the other one off the nest. With the dad already missing I pray a search team will come and rescue it soon. Prayers for it to be ok 🙏💕Please keep us updated. Thank you for all the updates and photos !
Have a good Saturday afternoon!

My reliable source tells me that there were DNR boots on the ground yesterday looking for Harry and back out now since eaglet 2 is down. Fingers crossed.
I truly hope that they keep it in care and not put it back in the nest. That would just disturb things more. It is a live and can be rehabbed like WBSE27! Hopefully.
