TERF16/TEUS03 (tracked 1/8/19-7/24/19 + 11/5/21-11/7/22)

Opening this topic for reports on TEUS03's activities.

This bird was injured in winter 2018, taken to OWL rehab and brought back to a healthy weight and then released on 08 Jan 2019. We thought she was an Alaskan bird by her weight and size, but she hung around the valley all summer so might in fact be a local resident.

Added November 24, 2021, by JudyB:

This is a first for us - TEUS03 ended up at OWL again this fall, again after getting into a fight with another female (now tagged as TERF17) - and the old tracker that had failed was replaced with a new tracker, and she got a new ID to match - TERF16. We are going to use TEUS03/TERF16 officially - but feel free to continue calling her TEUS03 (or TERF16) for short! :)

We have happy news! TEUS03 was banded January 8, 2019, and received a tracker - and we followed her travels around the greater Vancouver/Delta area until July 24, 2019.

Here's a map of those travels, first in satellite view so you can see the white line, then in map view so you can see the area better.

She uploaded data from Bowen Island on July 24 - perhaps beginning a journey north in search of salmon.

And that's the last time her tracker uploaded data.

When we stop getting data from an eagle, I generally mention that trackers can fail. And we now know that is what happened to TEUS03!

It's an interesting thing - TEUS03 originally ended up at OWL after she and another female were injured in a fight back in 2019. And the reason we know she is alive and well is because this fall she was again brought to OWL along with another female after a fight - she does seem to be a feisty female!

And for those who are curious - she was not fighting with the same eagle both times. :D Her opponent the first time was tagged as TERF03 - and Myles was also able to put a tracker on her new opponent, who will be TERF17 once we get the map set up and the page built on the website.

And because TEUS03 has a new tracker, we are now calling her TEUS03/TERF16, though it's fine to call her TEUS03 for short. :love:

We will have the website and this thread updated soon.

Thank you, Judy. TEUS03/TERF16 has quite a history! I'll refer to her as TERF16 and add several maps since her second release.
The first is an overview with a few dates to show her range of travels.
