Re: EAGLE Chatters Nest
Hog Island Rachel, Steve and Bailey's nest
05-23-2020
02h00 - 03h30
The GHO came at least 4 times, may be more.
Steve was on duty, at least each times it chased the GHO away, it defended very well his nest even if at a moment the GHO stayed a little bit too much alone with the eggs in the nest
First alert then Steve flew toward the danger then back to the "Rachel" branch
not the same time but the gho is chased to time by Steve who was on the "Rachel" branch

Re: EAGLE Chatters Nest
E15 branched today! Official time 12:33 pm. She looks very comfortable perched on the branch, spreading her wings, preening, and looking so grand! Way to go, sweetheart!

Re: EAGLE Chatters Nest
It’s funny I happened to check in on the nest at that time and was wondering if that was an “official” branch since it was so close to the nest. Feeling excited!!

Re: EAGLE Chatters Nest
After the last attack and for the second consecutive night, neither Lady nor Steve are brooding the 3 eggs. They will be back incubating at the first daylights but not enought time for the eggs.
So the season is almost finished for this nest now.
a sad one,
1st: Rachel didn't come back
2nd: 3 eggs left for Parents's safety
04h01 04h14 Steve or Lady just arrives

Re: EAGLE Chatters Nest
Another bad news...
At great spirit bluff peregrine falcons nest...
They had 3 chicks. Youngest died 2 weeks ago due to lack of food
On Friday night a GHO attacked the nest and took Floyd (the male chick). Nova tried to protect him and in the panic injured her second chick Elise ! GHO came back a bit later and then Elise got hurt again... Decision was made NOT to intervene to check on injuries (and eventually save her from another attack). Night from Saturday to Sunday was safe.
Yesterday Elise was fed and looked OK, flapping ok.
Tonight I saw the GHO coming back first and I was scared to hell not seeing a parent close. The GHO flew away and came back, sitting on the perch on the side of the nest. No sign of Nova or Newman (male mate). Anywhere.
GHO left and came back to take Elise. Now the nest box is empty.
I know it's nature... but this is too awful to me ! this baby didn't deserve to be killed like this unprotected Nor did Floyd !
Here is a pic. Floyd in front, Elise in the back. RIP little ones
