Ft.St.Vrain (Colorado) mom and dad
Ft.St.Vrain: one of the eaglets had a altercation with a raccoon, it's unknown the condition of eaglet. Proper authorities have been notified. Authorities were at the nest site tonight, no information available from their visit yet. Hopefully tomorrow there will be a update


Update https://www.facebook.com/groups/4457339 ... 8374364039
https://www.facebook.com/groups/445733962172528

FSV45 hatched on April 11 - Mai 23 (carried down by a raccoon. At the first attempt he succeeded in pushing him back, later, even if he tried everything he could not do anything. )

FSV46 hatched on April 13 well protected by its older sibling.

The unconsciousness of his youth and his bravery will not have sufficed. So young he once repelled this huge and imposing adult raccoon but a little later this Brave of the Brave gave his life to protect his nest and his young sibling... Rest in Peace little 42 do FSV45... You will remain in the heart of your sibling, that of your parents and that of all observers forever. :rh:

6h15 ago a racoon was back at the nest. The young and last eaglet was ready to battle, but one adult was also there and chased the raccoon

Now the problem is that the raccoon knows where to find food
and also yesterday morning MomFSV brought a young raccoon to the nest for breakfast

I think the little FSV46 fledged today at 79 do. https://www.facebook.com/groups/445733962172528 says at 15h58.

1 hour before night as an adult brought some food and at a moment was eating it i heard the little one calling and arriving from far away right low side of the nest. then FSV46 mantled the food.

I hope and pray for FSV46 and I'm sure the soul and spirit of his older sibling FSV45 (killed by a raccoon 05-23) will stay close to her/him and protecting her/him and their parents.

2022 Cam Maintenance
Matching Drive

Hi everyone!

It's certainly been an unusual nesting season - but one thing remains the same:

We need your help so we can be prepared to see what happens next.

The first $1000 in donations toward our cam maintenance fund drive will be matched by long-time supporters of Hancock Wildlife - so the time to donate is now!

Image

I may take a bit of a look back in another post - but now I'd like to look ahead to our plans and hopes for next year - and how you can help us get there. :thumlft:

While we all miss Dad Trooper at Delta 2, I'm looking forward to watching Ma Delta teach DM (Delta Male) how to be a good mate and with luck a good dad to the little chicks we hope to see them raise together in the new nest we'll be building for them, with big thanks to everyone who donated to our GoFundMe drive.

The French Creek eagles raised two chicks in 2022 - though they didn't use the nest with the cam and, even if they had, the cam went offline before the nesting season got underway. Ever the optimist, I'm hoping we'll be able to get the cam streaming again, and at the very least see the adults and maybe next year's fledglings visit the nest with a cam - and just maybe they'll decide it's time for a change and move to the nest with the cam!

Mom Dimple and Dad Duffer finally produced eggs in 2022 after three years together at Harrison Mills, but were disrupted by an intruder during the incubation. I really want to see them raising little chicks next year - and I think it will happen, and very much hope that we'll be able to replace the cams that are no longer working so we'll be able to see them raise their first chicks together.

A young pair of eagles took over the Surrey Reserve nest for the 2022 season, and weren't ready to nest then, but I think they are now - and we're looking forward to watching SM and SF (Surrey Male and Surrey Female) learn how to raise the tiny chicks we hope they will have. This is the only nest that doesn't need major work - but it would be nice to get the cams cleaned - and to do the preventive maintenance needed to make sure they keep working.

The White Rock pair had a sad year in 2022, losing their chicks when they were a little more than six weeks old - and I'm hoping we'll be able to see them come back with another successful season (they've successfully fledged 14 young eagles so far). One of the cameras at the nest they appear to be preparing for next year is in danger of falling after one of the straps holding it broke, so we are hoping to be able to fix that quickly.

Image

The screenshot above is Ma Delta feeding her tiny eaglets in 2019 - and I would love to have five pictures like this, one from each of our nests, at this time next year. :love:

Naturally, the eagles will have a say in that - but we need to get functioning cams securely fastened at as many nests as possible in the month or so while the eagles are generally away in search of salmon.

We'll be posting additional information about the work we'd like to do at the various nests soon, but we really do need donations now so we can start reserving lifts and scheduling climbers and hopefully buying a few new cams. And remember - the first $1000 in donations will be matched - so if you adopt a nest for $250, HWF will receive $500!

We've tried to answer some of the common questions about donating here - All About Donating - and please feel free to PM me if you have other questions or concerns.

Thank You!
