Molate falls off SF Bay nest! UPDATE

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.

This is so horrible! Mary Ann does anyone know if it was an accident or how it happened? I hope someone gets there soon and checks on poor molate
Rosie and Richmond were very upset just now
I’m in tears😢
Hi Linda, I do not know but the term used has been ‘fall’. Everyone knows. They have already posted an In Memoriam on their FB page. It is so sad. I wish that they had gotten the authority to take Molate into care when he did not seem to be well. Brooks had already fledged so she would not be scared off the nest.
Ah, we know now that he fell. But not the root cause of the illness that caused Molate to be unwell. I would think they would want to know for the future and for Brooks now…
