Sounds like the local wildlife are keeping you entertained Judi. I've had raccoons in my pear tree a few times now. :)
The air quality is definitely suffering a lot with all the smoke finally hitting our direction.

2021 Cam Maintenance
Matching Drive

A little over 17 weeks ago, we met Tiku from our Surrey Reserve nest; this is just before he or maybe she made it all the way out of the shell:

And now Tiku and Tucca from Surrey Reserve and Hope and Chase from Delta 2 have all set out to explore the world.

We do still have one young eagle to watch - this is Romeo from our White Rock nest, who hatched 6 weeks later than Tiku:
Image

At 11 weeks, he (or maybe she) is practicing perching on the nest supports and exercising those big wings. Eaglets generally fledge (take their first flight) between 10 and 14 weeks, and it's my guess that will happen in the next week or so.

And you know - I haven't really thought about this before - but our little window to access the nests and clean the cams and do any other necessary work isn't always that much longer than the 35-40 days it takes an egg to hatch. Last year the Surrey Reserve adults didn't leave until August 14 (though they weren't visiting very often after Thor left in mid-July) - and Dad Sur was back on September 26. Different pairs have different schedules - and it can vary from year to year - so it would be great if we could get ready now.

With that in mind....
Image

We will be posting more details about our Adopt-a-Nest program, the new option to adopt one of our eagles with a tracker (details soon), the Monthly Donor program - and the work we need to do on the 10 cameras we now have at five different nests.

The important thing to know is that at least 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!

That's a great idea having Buddy keep Bitsy company while she's getting her test Iona.

Good Morning Scott, Carolyn, Judy B, Iona & Judi :wave:

Iona
I read up on Cushing disease and testing. Buddy will definitely be a comfort to Bitsy during the testing. Sending wishes for a treatment to help. Take care of yourself too. :)

So sorry to hear more of the smoke & heat in Canada. I’ve seen maps of the smoke there & the US too. :(

Have you guys seen this article?

Hi Naoma Yeah , it's kind of scary, but if attitude has anything to do with it, Bitsy will be fine. She's one feisty
Pup for her age.

Love and hugs to all
