I had just finished dinner and heard a ping. The news is heartbreaking but I want to thank ‘H’ for getting it to me immediately. Lindsay was raised by Alden and Annie on the Campanile along with her sibling, Grinnell Jr. It is thought that she was the last chick that Grinnell fathered with Annie.
Condolences go out to Annie, Alden, Grinnell, Jr, the Cal Falcon Family and all who love these birds. More to follow tomorrow.
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.

It is just wretchedly heartbreaking. I would imagine that they will seek to determine the case but if it is a broken neck it might be window strike. There are a lot of buildings and yes, absolutely, they were so healthy and doing so very well. So sad for everyone there.
You are welcome…I just feel the same way. I was leaving the house to go and photograph the Egret when ‘H’s message came through. I could hardly keep the tears at bay. She was doing so well.
Oh No! Mary Ann this is so so sad. 😢Will they run an autopsy? I can’t imagine what has happened to her. She and Grinnel Jr we’re doing so well. 🙏

So sad.
It is always sad when we loose such a healthy juvenile. Thank you so much for your comment, Michael.
You’re welcome.
