Thanks for so many great pictures, Philjo. Such a nice treat to see this lovely eagle this summer. I must admit that I think this is a female. Mostly because of the width when seen from the back. But that just makes Mom's tolerance of it on the nest a quandry. I did notice in one of your scaps that ...

:eag: Thank you so much jwin36 for posting that article about eagles eating plastic. I am dedicated to bringing awareness of what plastic is doing to this planet and all who live here however I can. Plastic awareness starts with me and what I have been doing in my own life that has contributed to t...

Hi everyone. Still very grateful for all the wonderful coverage of this nest. And I finally found one of the articles about garbage and eagles which I am posting. Watching this nest really brings home the point of this. https://www.king5.com/mobile/article/tech/science/environment/bald-eagle-dies-af...

Thank you Philjo, for all your scaps and comments. I would have missed the Juvie and Mom if you hadn't.
There are still many bugs here. I really wish they could have a long dry spell here.

I do believe that Mom knows the Juvie. I am posting an article that is very interesting and made me feel good. https://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2011/07/19/138478525/eagle-love-story-injured-mates-reunited-at-rehab-center While the article concerns mates, I still think that there is recognitio...

Congratulations Simba!

Thank you so much for the updates, Bev. I so love all the good news. I am looking forward to their eventual release.

Thank you all for your amazing coverage of this nest. I am beginning to think that Simba 's name should be Lucky.
He is definitely a survivor.

Just read an interesting article about releasing the eagles from SOAR. I am posting the link for anyone interested.

Finally saw Simba mantle and steal the fish from parent. Good for you, Simba!

I absolutely love your posts and scaps, Journi. I cannot believe how much these two have grown. Ah, those Alaskan eagles! But I also think these are both female. Real good back and forth bonking. And they are so active and alert. These two are such a joy.

Hi, everyone. Glad that Simba got better and is doing so well. I have been very impressed with Shadow. What a great new Dad. I have a question, how old is Simba? I thought about 10 weeks.
If so, then he will be branching soon.

Hi, Rainna. Glad you have faith, friends and family to see you through the difficult times. I have missed you this season at Sauces and look forward to seeing you here next season. I hope that everything calms down for you and your family. Please take good care of yourself. Get all the rest you need...

Fledge this morning. Chat says it was the male.

This is so sweet. :rh: :rh: She must be exhausted. Sleeping at 3:36 in the afternoon. :D I haven't seen her too many times since she left. I'll bet she has some new friends. Before she fledged I was hearing lots of squeeing near the nest that wasn't her. Sauces0613190336pm.png Get a load of that hug...

Thanks everyone for all your scaps and comments. I have been watching as so many others have been. I was concerned about Simba being ill and now I am so relieved to see that he has recovered. He is one tough little eaglet and it is obvious that he is gaining strength every day. I just watched him do...

Thank you, Journi, Sassek, and Shoupie for all your scaps and comments. I really love this nest. Mom and Dad are hilarious and very good parents.
The time difference makes it a little harder for me to follow.

Thank you, Bev. I am not a regular Facebook viewer so I really appreciate your posts from there.
Glad to see that whether they are all released or not, they are being so well cared for.

Happy day today! Sauces eaglet flew off the nest like a pro! So wonderful to see!

Thank you, Kitcat, for posting the update. It was as I was afraid of while watching DN9 the last few days before he/she fell; DN9 was not well and thriving. We are very lucky to have such great and wonderful people willing to go the extra mile in the saving and rehab of these young eaglets. :thumlft...

Good morning :yes: Raptor resource posted a recovery video of DN9 on YouTube. Here is a Link. https://m.youtube.com/watch?feature=youtu.be&v=pEoqMbRO6Qw Now I am even happier that they took h/her to rehab. :yes: Thanks to everyone that helps our wildlife :rh: :rh: Hope you're feeling better, Bev. :h...

If you don't do Facebook you can go to the RRP forum and the update is posted on page 65 of the Decorah North topic.
Soooo glad to hear that DN9 is going to S.O.A.R.

Bev and/or anyone else. Does anyone know who the people were that went into the field and picked up and photographed DN9? I found my answer. It was RRP that went out and checked out DN9. They are watching to make sure that the parents continue to care for our adorable eaglet. They implied that if so...

They reached DN9. Took a good look at him and took some photos and put him back. Mom and Dad were screeching and circling. I am sure they will update us soon.

Another scap! 12:45 pm from youtube. Thanks to the zoomer !
