Gabby and Beau have two eaglets!

1 January 2025

Good Afternoon Everyone,

We have a New Year’s eaglet. NE33 made its appearance in the wee hours of the morning.

Beau is one proud dad. He has the pantry stocked nicely.

What a wonderful way to start the new year! Remember – get those happy memories in to me, however short or long, by 0800 Friday 2 January so I can get them into the blog.

I am happy to say that Don is doing very well, indeed. His deterioration/behaviour issue was due to a medical condition and not his dementia. The team at the Victoria Hospital are working to resolve those issues.

Little Toby is sleeping by me. I wasn’t going to mention it, but we had quite a scare. Tuesday evening, I had to rush Toby to the emergency veterinary clinic. He was haemorrhaging out of his mouth and anus. There was blood everywhere. He came home to me this morning. I am very grateful to the vets who worked so hard to save his life. He has acute haemorrhagic diarrhoea syndrome, or AHDS, formerly called HGE and tested negative for Parvo as a cause. Will be tested for food sensitivity next week. It can return without warning, but right now, he is home and safe with me. I cannot tell you how much I missed him. I did not want to alarm anyone, so just smile. One of my fellas is home.

Thank you for being with me today. See you tomorrow for the good memories of 2025 – get yours in.

Thank you to the American Eagle Foundation for their streaming cam that allows us to ‘spy’ on Beau and Gabby, NE 32 and NE 33.

And one last thing: Rare bird in Vancouver. Tiny little Taiga Flycatcher that should be in Asia has set everyone stirring.
