04-24-2020 Rachel is not back

04-12-2020 Steve is back

The last news, a new female is in the nest wit Steve, mating and bonding, a new family…

Last year, during the banding session of Halley and Dion, Rachel was chased away from his nest by scientists…
During that time we don't know what happened exactly, confrontation with another osprey or bald eagle or an accident but she returned wit her left leg with a very bad injury.
After that she had many difficulies to branch, to walk, to feed and to defend her osplets. A GHO took away Dion as Rachel was not enought reactive to intercept it. When Halley flew, Rachel began her migration. I already knew that there would only be a slim luck to see her the next season. The new season is here, Rachel not yet. So i'm prepared for the worse now.
I don't know what to write in the letter i will send to Bailey… next. :ohmy: :( :brknhrt:

Rachel, Bailey's mother didn't come back this season at Hog Island osprey nest. Ma.

she was injured last year and was not able to use her left leg as she wanted. After the flight of her last osplet, Halley, she left the area 09-03-2019.
A that time, i said her "Adieu Queen of Hog Island! " as i was sure it was the last time i saw her. Wherever your are, rip sweet Mom. :( :cry1:

Kathie Davis made a beautiful Tribute to her.

Yesterday Lady the new mate laid a second egg. She didn't brood yesterday night, jus back a little more after 04h am with Steve.

After the GHO yesterday, this early morning, as Lady was brooding, a bald eagle visited the nest. no problem for Lady who flew away and for the eggs. The BE was searching fishes may be. But another time if there is osplets in the nest ….Pics from the video.
