Hello Everyone,
Please send your best wishes to DH18. He has an infection and is being treated for that in addition to his injuries. He needs all the positive energy you can muster!
Latest update on DH18
Published by maryannsteggles
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.

Thanks for the latest update Mary Ann! So sorry to hear that DH18 has an infection but I was surprised it was found before now due to how long it’s legs were entangled on that line. I’m so glad they are starting the cultures and will post daily on its condition. Prayers and positive thought for DH18. So glad the antibiotics were given to this eaglet. Hoping for a fast recovery from the infection and then the healing completely. Love you DH18! 🙏❤️🦅
It is a very serious infection but DH18 is getting the best care he an possibly get with the AEF. So fingers crossed that he wins the fight!
