Such sad news, Marg and stim - sending big, big hugs.

Not sure why, but it seems challenging at a number of nests this year. Hoping for success for the remaining nests, and a much better year in 2019.

Thank you for dropping in here Judy. This is our second local nest so far to lose 2 eaglets, both under intruder usurping one of the parent's positions. It's been a rough week checking out both situations.

Sandra and Marg! This is absolutely devastating news . I am so very sorry for you and for all of us and especially for the eagles. You think it was rat poison ? :angry: I cannot understand the ignorance and lack of compassion of humans. And these rodenticides should be illegal!
Thanks for letting me know Marg. I watch but do not comment on all the nests.

Thanks JudyB and elle for your kind thoughts. Also Larry who I emailed and he replied. :huggie: It was an adult eagle that was poisoned elle, it was Pa Stalashen a few months ago. Karen H will know more about this. I believe this new Pa was here for a while so he no doubt was the Pa of the eaglets.....

Marg & Sandra This is very sad news about this nest :( The chicks are very vulnerable when they are so tiny. It makes me angry to know that people are still using rat poison :angry: Sending :hug: to you.

Thank you Lynda, Karen and Kay for your kind messages. We really don't know what happened to our youngsters, why at least 1 ended up on the ground. I do hope rat poison didn't affect them as it could have been a nursing coyote to feed off one of them. :grhug: :brknhrt:

I am so sorry to hear the heartbreaking news about the Stalashen eaglets. :grhug:

And I do hope that it wasn't related to rat poison. I agree with elle that it should be illegal. :tt:

I called Gibsons Wildlife to see if anyone had found an eaglet on the ground at Stalashen but Irene said that they have had no eaglets there recently. :puzz: We'll have to see if any other neighbours close to the nest saw or heard anything.
