There were a couple of items that unintentionally got left out of my earlier posting.
Sally and Harry did have their first hatch. It was hatching when I was writing the posting. Got out of that shell around 2300.
It is raining this morning in Naples, Florida. Harry got to see the little one at breakfast.
There is a hatch in progress at Port Tobacco. Nice pip seen at 0700. Wish Hope and Chandler all the luck in the world with this little one hatching.
When I wrote my post last evening, I feared that Willow would die. She is too weak to eat today. A fish did come in at Bluff City. She would be two weeks old today. Go swiftly little one.
Take care. Thank you for being here for this quick update. Thank you to the cams at Moorings Park, Bluff City, and Tobacco Creek and to ‘H’ for alerting me to Moorings Park hatch.
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.
