As many of you might be aware, the nest of Martin and Rosa and the trio has been falling apart rapidly. We saw this at the Notre-Dame Eagles nest last year, Minnesota DNR this year, and more recently, the Dale Hollow nest. It really compromises the lives of the eaglets who have juvenile feathers and who have branched but not flown.
Pi fell out of the nest this morning and was rescued.
DG4 – Pat – was the first to fall on Monday and is in care.
Flora is the only eaglet left on the small area of the nest.
This nest is being closely monitored. Send positive wishes out to all!
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.
