[quote=Pascale post_id=282939 time=1581340710 user_id=175] My goodness.. wildlife can be so cruel
I'm not accusing mom of course, she's doing what needs to be done. I'm so sorry for these eagles, followers, sequoyah team, and you Philippe... I loved the little one last year. he was so cute. [/quote] but Mon Amie
At least in this case, what is certain is that we can not fault humans. Nothing could have been done to help. It's just nature.

10 February 2020: Our last comment about it being “interesting to see what happens” proved prophetic! Life in the wild is never dull, even if the act of incubating eggs for over a month looks sedate most of the time. Shortly after 4 PM on Saturday, the incubating eagle was attacked by an intruding eagle. Less than a hour later, there was a second attack. The intruder was apparently repelled both times, but at the cost of one egg, which had significant damage, and was eaten about 25 hours later by the adult on Sunday evening. Many species of birds from the size of hummingbirds on up face similar attempts by rivals to take over territories and prime nesting sites. While we all are cheering for a successful nest, our camera shows what really happens each day at a wild eagle nest, both the good and the bad. We can’t say at this point whether or not the remaining egg is viable. Because we suspect this is a new male since last season, it is possible that the eggs were infertile (not uncommon in eagles and other birds), or the remaining egg may have been damaged in the attack. We won’t have to wait very long to find out. If the egg is going to hatch, it should happen later this week. Here are some photos from the Saturday attacks, and the next days.

I just noticed they forgot to say that the lone egg stayed two times alone and not incubated, around 6h in day time and over 07h00 night time and for me it is the first reason why it won't hatch in the nest couple of day and nothing to see with other considerations, but for this case only.[/quote]

Last news from this nest, Sequoyah Ok.
Last night the last egg was destoyed. normally it wasn't anymore viable as it's stay too much time alone in the nest, night and day.
This morning Mom and Dad are in the nest tree, almost first time after the battle 02-10.

Hi Everyone,
I can’t figure out how to start a new topic and although this is not Eagle-related I’m wondering if anyone knows what this nest is? Found it on a young tree where I live. Thank you in advance.

[Peggy180]

Ps I suspect this is a wasp nest!

Thank you so much, Pascale! I was afraid of something like that. It will have to go!

I wanted to share it with you

I wrote this the other day. I just call it

(Eagles)

We are eagles proud and strong, in our resolve we find our strength to carry on.
We choose to triumph over tragity when life's lessons come our way, Our sights are always set in the blessings of each new day.
We soar high above mountains over the land and sea.
We joyfully dance in the rain, our spirit is forever free.

I Love it, Merci Eaglefaih9!

So heartfelt and heartbreaking Philippe

a bit of smile with SOAR and news about D32 !

~ D32 update ~

While D32 is ready for release... D32 has completed all steps in the rehab process - rest while the leg fracture healed, minimal work once the wrap was off the leg, small flight pen to stretch out and start rebuilding muscle, bigger and bigger flight pens to build stamina.

Other factors will play into 'the when' that you all want to know.

Those factors? Kay wants the area ponds to have open water and there needs to be several consecutive days of good weather before she will open the release window on the 20x60 soft release pen. Kay has no estimate on when these conditions are going to happen.

Will we have video of the release? Trail cameras and the GoPro will put out. However, we can't promise anything usable, but Kay says, "We will try."

Recall the picture of one adult and two juvenile bald eagles in the 20x60 from mid-January. That is the cohort that will be soft released together. The adult is Logsdon Park and the other juvenile is Rowley, also a hatch-year 2019 from Buchanan County, Iowa. (See that post here: https://www.facebook.com/permalink.php? ... 9164528389)

D32 will not be banded. The banding of the four juvenile bald eagles soft-released in September were the exception.

Thank you for your continued concern for this juvenile's rehab process.
