no one could see little Decorah north N10... only DN9 is fed today
DNF is a young mom.
Well DN10 lays down in the nest bowl
later dad pulled little one body out of the nest.
RIP little DNN10. I'm sure DN6, DN7 and DN8 showed you the way to the Rainbow bridge

other news... bad and good.
in AZGFD nest - nest in Arizona, local nest from lady hawk, the season was tough... the pair had 3 eggs eaten by crows and ravens. this pair is very young and they left the egg alone for a while...
Jill laid one more egg which was more carefully incubated. s/he tried to hatch last night but unfortunately the chick died trying to hatch

Jill consumed part of the dead chick and the egg shortly after

- sorry

the good news... at 2 harbours Catalina islands 1st egg hatched today the 2nd egg has a nice pip.

here is a scap from Lady Hawk, thanks to her.

1st PIP at Decorah

[laniebelle]

Sorry to hear about the AZ nest; they sure have had troubles this season.

Thanks for the news on Decorah, Bonnie. Will we see a babe in the morning, or will he/she make us wait a bit longer? Wishing Super Mom and DM2 a wonderful season.

[Pascale]

the 2nd chick at 2 Harbour nest just hatched :rh

and I've read this article... I'm not sure it's a good thing, eagles adapt to their shrinked territory... its dangerous for them.

Local Illinois Eagle Update:
I checked my photos from the last 2 years.
Mere & Pere had bobbleheads on April 15, 2017.
Last year, 2018, I had video of Mere & Pere feeding on April 5, 2018.
Looking forward to seeing nest activity in a few days?

[laniebelle]

Sorry to hear about the original Pappa. Hopefully the new Pappa will be well and stick around that area.

Desiree's photos of the 2 kids at sunset is just stunning. Thanks for sharing, Pascale, and thank you, Desiree.

Chincoteague eagle cam... where the wild ponies run free. A book was even written on chincoteague island. The eagle cam is a must. Why isn't this eagle cam listed with hancock wildlife.

[eagleslanding]

Sorry and then the eaglet is gone. But if you want to follow island life on chincoteague island and the wild ponies and their wildlife refuge feel free.

Hi Eagleslanding
you can ask it here viewtopic.php?f=68&t=309
but after you have to provide the new thread with messages and pics about this nest too

[Sunnybird1995]

"Les grand espirits se rencontrent"

I went out this morning to check the nest and lake for eagles.
No eagles at the lake. No eagles on "Eagle Tree".
I did find a parent, I think Mere at the nest looking to the South (lake).
Probably waiting on Pere with breakfish.

At the nest, waiting on breakfish 7 April 2019

You can double click on 1st pic to see better.

2nd pic is from Saturday. At the lake---Eagle in Pine---very far away. Eating.
Date/time stamp is correct.
Wings crossed. I will keep watching.
FYI: Mere & Pere's breeding schedule is around 5 to 10 days with the Decorah nest.

but "c'est la vie ! "

[Pascale]

oh that's so sad Philipe !

ok Sunnybird thanks for the news about Pere and Mere ! we cross our fingers and can't wait to see what will happen here!

welcome little one D33 ! hope your already feisty sibling would be nice to you
this video made my day:

and, finally Lanie, it's Philippe who shared the amazing pictures of e12 and e13 by Desiree. Rendons à César ce qui appartient à César
in English render to Caesar what belongs to Caesar

[laniebelle]

Philippe, so sorry - thank YOU for sharing the beautiful Desiree photos of our two striking E's!

Pascale, thanks for sharing the video of D32 taking a tumble. That was so funny, although I know she didn't like it one bit. It was amazing to see her go after the fish, as if Mom was not feeding her fast enough. I've never such a young one do that. Very spunky.

So excited about D33's hatch, and yes hopefully D32 will not be too rough on the new one.

A major storm system is working its way through the USA. The northern plains through Minnesota a blizzard. Winter storm warnings and in some places severe thunderstorms. Winter storm Wesley. Minnesota DNR eagle cam listed on Hancock boards will get a direct hit by the blizzard. Decorah eagles will be back in the whippy winter winds and snow. Not sure if Trios gets the snow
or severe thunderstorms.Either way its a big system moving on through. Mom sit on your babies or eggs. You can do it one more time. Not quite sure what we will get here just yet. Oh and you thought it was spring and put away your snow blowers. Mother nature had us all fooled with the warmer temps.

[Pascale]

oh no that sounds bad eagleslanding
Decorah chicks are so young... I wish mom Decorah will keep them warm, well I have little doubt about it but also DM2... Decorah north eagley is older but might be in danger too.
It's snowing now...

Fraser point : one eaglet fell from the nest early this morning and was seen on cam on the ground and okayb . someone from IWS Is on his way to check him.and rescue him

on a very sad and angry point of view end of March a young eaglet was rescued after falling from the nest and caught by a dog. after his situation was assessed they found he had a complicated fracture of the wing and minor injuries. they proceeded a surgery on little one. he looked ok.
2 weeks later he ate well but seemed to not handle physical therapy very well. because they thought the situation was bad... they made other xrays and they euthanized him !!! they even didnt wait a little more, to see if things could improve

here is little one history - update is at the bottom of the page
https://www.wildlifecenter.org/critter- ... et-19-0207

I know I'm not a vet but I think this decision was quickly made and I'm not alone to think this

[Pascale]

Here is the lady hawk video of the rescue of Fraser point eaglet by Nate Melling from IWS.
Little one was rescued very shortly after his fall and returned to his nest so quickly. so well done ! Nate hopefully was near the nest

Quite a storm hitting many states. Here in Colorado, grocery stores closed this afternoon even; my workplace shut down at 2 pm. I'm worried about the 2 eaglets at the Fort St. Vrain nest in Platteville, CO. Dad spent several hours on the nest keeping Mom company as she hunkered down over their precious eaglets.

Pascale, thanks for posting Lady Hawk's video of the Fraser Point rescue. Good to see that sometimes the authorities can manage a quick and efficient rescue. It was great that the guy also tried to build up the nest rails, too.

Hi Lanie, Pascale, Eagleslanding, ...
Tonight around 01h45 CT, strong wind and storm at Decorah North,
Just windy at Decorah
Strong Wind at Fulton (Trio nest)
Pascale said to me what happened to the little eaglet, i wrote on their FB page as i know Bailey an osprey with a wing problem too. i'm sad because she is in a cage but she is alive, her... Poor eaglet too much to read that.
Some other human can do the good thing as the one from Fraser Point but not all.
