2022 Cam Maintenance
Fund Drive Update
Hi everyone!

First, before I forget - if you've been meaning to send in a donation to help us get our cams ready for the coming season - you're in luck! We still have a ways to go - and here's a link to our donations page:

Image

If you have made a donation - thank you so much! We've raised almost $5000, which will be a big help as we rush to clean the cams and do routine (and some non-routine) maintenance at our nest sites.

If you're a bit curious what this is about - here's a quick summary:
  • one of the two straps holding the CloseUp cam over our White Rock nest has broken; we want to get a team with a lift to the nest to secure the cam and also clean it and the North cam in a neighboring tree
  • one of the cameras at our Harrison Mills nest has stopped working and the other has been going offline for weeks at a time; we want to repair or replace the cam that has stopped working, and possibly replace the cam that works intermittently, and also check the onsite wiring in case that's a factor in the outages
  • the cam at the French Creek nest stopped working in December; it's a new cam, so we're hoping it's something simple like a loose wire that could be fixed while the eagles are away
  • the Surrey Reserve cams need cleaning; we are very happy that it appears that is all they need this year - but we do want someone to check the cams to make sure nothing is beginning to give way
  • the tree holding our Delta 2 nest is dying and branches are beginning to fall off (including one that was holding one of the two cameras there); happily our GoFundMe campaign and a few private donations will cover the installation of a new sturdy nest on a pole and two new cameras, but there will almost certainly be a few things that were not included in the original estimate.
And - we're under a deadline. The eagles may begin to return as early as mid-September, so we want all the work to be completed by September 15th.

One way to help is to adopt one or more of our nests for next year with a donation of $250 or more per nest - and we are thrilled that we already have 19 nest adoptions for the 2022-2023 nesting season! Thank you!

Another thing that helps us all year long is our monthly donor program - those donations help with the monthly expenses for things like the server that hosts this forum, as well as a fairly substantial internet bill.

And if you're thinking that you'd like to donate, but really can't afford to do any of those right now - we have over 1000 members, and a lot more people who check in from time to time to see what's happening with their favorite eagles or osprey or other critters - and if even a small percent of them (of you!) could give $25 or $50 - we would be very close to our goal!

Image

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

And if you can - please help.

Thank You!

Ventana Wildlife Society 8 h ·
Our oldest female, Traveler (171), born on 05/26/1997, was captured at the Pinnacles National Park pen on Friday, 06/24, after showing signs of lead poisoning. She is currently receiving emergency treatment at Oakland Zoo and is battling for her life.
Lead poisoning from ingestion of spent lead ammunition in animal carcasses is the leading mortality threat to free-flying condors and very difficult to treat once condors like Traveler are severely poisoned. If she can pull through this, Traveler will likely have a very long road to recovery.
A very special thanks to our partners at Oakland Zoo and Pinnacles National Park for responding so quickly to help Traveler.
Our Free Non-Lead Ammunition Program helps to mitigate the threat lead poisoning to the California Condor. Learn how you can help.

Must toonekurg~✈️ Bonus starts his long, dangerous journey to Africa~10:08 a.m. 2022/08/27
Beloved Bonus is already in Latvia since yesterday! He flew 121 km! So he started his journey south. Good luck, 🍀 beloved Bonus 🥰
Bonus was evidently with Iks by a creek. Iks is wet and drying his feathers. Both were friends from the start. Maybe they flew together?
Info on birdmap:
Bonus has been brought as foster's son into Karula webcam nest. More sa an half of its life was spent in foster's nest. He statred migrtion to the south in August 27 in age of 97 days. Three juveniles of four did not return into nest so they may travel together, but we do not know really.

Waba, the last storklet left the nest at 13h07
Tonight or tomorrow we will know (as it is equiped with a transmitter) if it started its migration

Dad KarlII arrived in the nest ~15h51.
He is just checking that all his Storklets are away for their migration
2022-08-28_17h37_22.jpg
Still there at 18h40. It is the first time he stays so long inside the nest except for the feeding (a couple of seconds) and when he is incubating and brooding his very young storklets.
