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.

I literally had tears streaming down my face as I watched live..E22 had a fish tail and all. Fast and furious feed that was.
Miracle indeed and that feeding was very special to watch.
My heart is heavy regarding Harriet but M15 is doing the best he can in a difficult situation. Way to go M & E22.
Hi Ann-Marie, Wasn’t it wonderful, indeed?! I am so glad you saw it live but on rewind it is equally fantastic. M15 is a fantastic dad who has always helped the underdog on the nest. But, of course, he had Harriet. Now he goes it alone grieving but caring for a family – their last chicks together. These two are pretty special. Let us keep sending positive thoughts their way..and cheer them on when they fledge.
Thank you Mary Ann! So glad this happened. Prayers being answered for little E22🙏💕 prayers for this whole family. 🙏❤️🙏❤️💕💕

They sure have, Linda! Just keep them coming. M15 has a long road ahead raising these two eaglets alone. We wish him the best…he is one special eagle.
