I don't have an update, though I'm hoping that TERF22 will check in soon. However, I just discovered that I do have more information about her and some photos from Myles that I forgot to post when he initially sent them to me back in May. And he noted that "She was kind of unique in that she had very pale feet and talons, haven’t seen that before but she has been through OWL once back in 2018? Already and they noted the same thing so not an ephemeral thing."

Meet TERF22 (these click much bigger):

Here's a closer look at her feet and talons.

As a non-biologist, I don't know that I'd notice the color of her feet - but those talons are definitely not black!

This also gives us a good look at her ID band M/7.

Thank you, Judy. It's wonderful to see the photos and learn more about her.

I'm try to catch up on several projects, and unfortunately need to report that there have been no further updates from TERF22.

She was a full adult who had been actively moving around the area for about a week, so it seems at least as likely that the tracker failed than something happened to her - but we will probably never know unless someone observes an eagle with her blue band with white M over 7 and her unusual pale talons.

Thanks for letting us share your journey for a while, TERF22, and wishing you all the best, wherever you are.
