Golden Eagles Raise A Hawk I find this one today and I hope i'm in the good thread

Golden Eagles Raise A Hawk
dematson
This is a unique video following A Golden Eagle pair that laid two eagle eggs and brought a Red Tailed Hawk into their nest. They raised the Hawk to fledge in advance of their own eagle chicks fledging. I was able to photograph and video the history of this event. I have a three part narrative about this on my blog Mid Sierra Musings. There was a previous account of this on Vancouver Island with a Bald Eagle pair raising a hawk chick.

This is an interview from Tuesday July 23rd 2019 with Marisa Nelson, Assistant Director at the Quogue Wildlife Refuge, Long Island, NY.
Sam - The 35-year-old bald eagle has been part of the refuge for decades, ever since the bird was shot by a hunter. His right wing was amputated. Sammy could no longer fly, and was lovingly cared for by staff, and was a favorite of visitors.
Long Island officials are offering a $15,000 reward for the safe return of Sam.

No hesitation in saying it was the right thing to do for me.
Both are sentient beings as far as I'm concerned, so therefore both have a right to live. Neither were harmed in the outcome of the rescue, so no harm done. The Octopus might have been annoyed his prey was interfered with but both lived to fight another day.
Win/win situation really

Good morning everyone,

We've often talk about nest construction on SWFEC chat, largest nests, where they have been documented ect.
When I saw this photograph, I couldn't think of a better place where it could be appreciated.

Thank you so much to LaRita Nance, the photographer, for her kind permission allowing me to share it with you.

Around the SNF... Engineering at its finest.

The Shawnee National Forest is a United States National Forest located in the Ozark and Shawnee Hills of Southern Illinois, United States. Administered by the U.S.D.A. Forest Service, it consists of approximately 280,000 acres of federally managed lands. In descending order of land area it is located in parts of Pope, Jackson, Union, Hardin, Alexander, Saline, Gallatin, Johnson, and Massac counties. Forest headquarters are located in Harrisburg, Illinois. There are local ranger district offices in Jonesboro and Vienna. The Shawnee National Forest is also the single largest publicly owned body of land in the state of Illinois. It is considered part of Southern Illinois, and is south of the St. Louis, Missouri and Metro-East areas, in Area code 618. Portions of it are in the far south area of Illinois known as Little Egypt. Cities in or near the area are Carbondale, Illinois, Marion, Illinois, and Cairo, Illinois.

This beautiful area is now on my bucket list

What nest? Please post on the thread for that nest so the folks who are watching can answer - thanks!

[Chris Reid]

This is the large nest in the Shawnee National Forest I posted a picture of a while back.

Only look who's home.

Once again a huge thank you to LaRita Nance, the photographer for allowing me to share this with you.

I recently heard someone tell the following story to a large group of people.

The individual claimed that they saw a mother eagle stretch out her wings in the nest and the eaglets climbed onto her wings. She then flew down into a valley with the eaglets on her wings. They were apparently holding on to her wings using their beaks.

The eaglets jumped off her wings when she landed on the grass, and they played for a period of time. She flew up into a tree where she watched them.

She later descended back into the valley, stretched out her wings again and the eaglets once more got onto her outstretched wings. She then flew back up to the nest with the eaglets on her wings back to the nest where they jumped off.

I have never heard of this happening in the wild and I think the individual made up the story. However, I wanted to check with a wider network before contacting the individual.

Thanks for your feedback!
