The purpose of this thread is to provide a place for us to share stories, videos, photos, etc., about birds, especially eagles and other raptors, we've run across in the news and social media but that don't really "fit" in the Forum's other threads. Here's one, for starters.
This inaugural post is pretty rough, because it's about poaching and the black market in eagle parts. Mercifully, there are no photos. WARNING: If you're going to read the linked stories, you'll need a strong stomach, a box of tissues and your blood pressure meds. It's all about the money. It's always all about the money.
In today's news, Willard Maldonado pleaded guilty to killing bald eagles and selling the feathers. The story doesn't mention what the sentencing guidelines are, but the federal maximums include up to 5 years in prison and a fine of up to $250,000, per count. http://www.justice.gov/usao-edwa/pr/willard-maldonado-pleads-guilty-five-violations-bald-eagle-protection-act-and-lacey-act
At the end of that news release are references to 2 other, similar cases: U.S. v. Hawk and U.S. v. Wahchumwah. Maldonado, Hawk and Wahchumwah are all members of the federally recognized Yakama tribe.
Alfred Hawk was charged with conspiracy, and taking, transporting, offering and selling eagles, and transporting and selling wildlife with a market value in excess of $350. He was sentenced to 6 months in prison and 2 years probation, which he violated. In addition, Hawk was also mentioned in Wahchumwah's case.
Ricky Sam Wahchumwah was convicted of the same crimes as Hawk and sentenced to serve 1 month in jail and 3 months home confinement followed by 2 years of probation, and to pay a $425 penalty. Here's a court document that lays out the case against Wahchumwah in the "Statement of Facts," beginning on Page 1. https://www.eff.org/files/filenode/us_response_to_motion_to_suppress.pdf

But, on another front, there's good news. Really good news! And the videos are great, too.

Found this viral video on Neil Rettig Productions' Facebook page. The description of how it was filmed and edited provides some insight into Neil's other work, including "American Eagle."

Takeaways: recent reports of eagles living more than 30 years in the wild; recent report of older nestlings surviving falls from their nests.
Bald eaglet banding in Kansas. I was rooting for the eaglets the whole way!!!
http://www.kansas.com/news/local/article21191127.html
Interesting side note in the story is that the adult male eagle is at least 31 years old and still going strong. Take that with a previous posting ( http://www.duluthnewstribune.com/news/3726929-raptors-banded-duluths-evans-set-longevity-record ) about a 33+ year old bald eagle, and we may have to raise the limit a bit on how long bald eagles can live in the wild.
Accompanying the Kansas banding story was another link that has captioned photos only.
http://www.kansas.com/sports/outdoors/article21187545.html
As you arrow through the photos, there are a couple of shots of an 8-10 week old eaglet that jumped from its nest and lived to tell about it. Again, take that with a previous posting ( http://www.krcrtv.com/news/local/volunteers-unite-to-return-fallen-eaglet-to-nest/33045372 ) about an 8 week old California eaglet that survived an 80 foot fall from its nest, and we might be comforted to know that eaglets who haven't fledged yet may instinctively know how to soar and make a soft landing!!!! ;)

This could be huge! Finally, other commercial arenas that "take" migratory birds will be regulated with permits that have "teeth" to punish and require mitigation. Those sectors include the following:
Oil, gas, and wastewater disposal pits can entrap birds that are attracted to a perceived source of water. Birds that land on or fall into the pit become covered with oil and may ultimately die from drowning, exhaustion, exposure, or effects of ingested oil. Closed containment systems or properly maintained netting prevents birds from entering these sites.
Methane or other gas burner pipes at oil production sites and other locations provide a hazard to birds from burning, entrapment in pipes or vents, or direct mortality from flame flare. Removing perches, installing perch deterrents, and covering pipes and other small openings can minimize this take.
Communication towers can have a significant impact on birds, especially birds migrating at night. Using recommended tower-siting practices and design features such as appropriate lighting, shorter tower heights, and eliminating or reducing the use of guy wires can minimize bird take caused by collisions with these structures.
Electric transmission and distribution lines impact a variety of birds through electrocution and collision. To reduce electrocutions, poles can be made avian-safe through pole and equipment design or through post-construction retrofitting measures. Collisions are best minimized through appropriate siting considerations.
They may also reconsider the rules that are in place now, such as they are, for the wind energy generation sector.
Here's the link to the USFWS Notice of Intent: https://www.federalregister.gov/articles/2015/05/26/2015-12666/migratory-bird-permits-programmatic-environmental-impact-statement
It will be published in the Federal Register on May 26, 2015, with a 60-day comment period. This is still a long ways from actually issuing permits to any of these sectors, but it's a start and deserves our attention now, in its earliest stages of development. You can bet the affected industry sectors will be commenting. Birds can't without our help.

LPC finds dead bald eagle on power pole: http://www.timescall.com/longmont-local-news/ci_28193617/lpc-finds-dead-bald-eagle-power-pole
I contacted Longmont (Colorado) Power & Communications at the email address below to ask them if they had an Avian Protection Plan, if not why not, and if so are they complying with its provisions to prevent this from happening again.
[email protected]
Update - Haven't heard back from LPC, but there's a new story today. An Open Space biologist identified the electrocuted bald eagle as female and then found the nest nearby where a male is tending to 2 chicks on his own. Chicks are estimated to be about the same age as Decorah's chicks. I'm just sick about this. :'(

Ohio got creative to hopefully bring happy endings to two separate disasters. A burned Canada goose who lost her eggs to fire is now fostering orphaned goslings and an eaglet who survived a storm-ravaged nest failure will be placed in foster care at another eagle nest. :)

Must see! Must read! Must click! Don't miss the glorious photos (thank you, Neil?) or Neil Rettig's account of how he became involved in helping to save the National Bird of the Philippines, the majestic Philippine eagle.
ABS-CBN Corporation is a huge Philippine media conglomerate and this appears to be a major public relations push to publicize the Philippine eagle's fight for survival.

Proposed bill (H.R.2280) for bird-safe Federal buildings. Not likely to have much effect if signed into law because it only applies to Federal buildings that are newly constructed, acquired or altered, none of which are very likely to occur frequently. "Bird-safe" in this bill primarily refers to reducing bird collisions and would put restrictions on the types and amounts of glass used in such buildings. But, it is the RIGHT THING TO DO!
https://www.congress.gov/bill/114th-congress/house-bill/2280/text
This bill was drafted in accordance to the requirements of Executive Order 13186, signed by President Clinton in 2001, which orders Federal agencies to develop Memoranda of Understanding (MOU) with the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service to further the intent of the Migratory Bird Treaty Act.
Here's the text of EO 13186: https://www.federalregister.gov/articles/2001/01/17/01-1387/responsibilities-of-federal-agencies-to-protect-migratory-birds
I went down a gigantic rabbit hole in search of an MOU between EPA and FWS regarding lead or pollutants or contaminants, etc., etc., and gave up. I don't think one exists, but it should now that Congress seems to want to make it impossible for any agency to enforce the MTBA! See the article below for more details, most of which I've already posted.

-
Thanks, T40. I have a positive outlook about that bill. At least it's a step in the right direction. Some bird-safe Federal buildings is more than none. When that requirement is in place, it will set a precedent. Precedents often become justifications for applying the same rules in other situations, and can lead to more widespread applications of them.

http://phys.org/news/2015-07-thousands-birds-abandon-eggs-florida.html
That's really freaky, T40! Anyone who reads this needs to be sure to read the last 3 sentences to understand just how immediately this island went from being an ultra-busy and noisy nesting site to an abandoned one with no birds... literally overnight. I'm going to guess it had to be a major nest disruption that affected the whole island at once - and since it wasn't fire or weather-related, then I suspect overhead flights, possibly at low and loud levels not usually experienced by those birds. How awful - whatever caused it - and I hope the cause is discovered. I hope they will come back. :( :(

I'm so sad and angry about the EPA-caused accident in Colorado that allowed millions of gallons of toxic wastewater from an abandoned gold mine to spill into the Animas River there. I saw on the national news tonight about the incredibly high levels of lead in it... not to mention the many other heavy metals, such as iron, zinc, and copper, and other toxic substances. I don't think I'm going to be able to look at the articles that will surely follow about the chain of wildlife that surely will be poisoned, starting with the animals that are eating plant and animals in that river, and by swimming, diving, and drinking water in the river. Of course there is huge impact on people, as well. And it is already being reported by the U.S. Geological Survey that the size of the spill is 3 times what the EPA originally estimated. It started in Colorado, and the Animas River in CO has already seen the spill flow into the San Juan River, in New New Mexico two days ago, where it has flowed through the Navajo Nation, and then it will converge with the Colorado River in Utah. (Is Wyoming after that?)
A couple of the stories... the CNN and "USA Today" articles are the most recent ones I found - both updated within the last half-hour, and both with text, video, and photos...

"Iowa waterways are a disgrace." So says a Des Moines Register editorial with regard to toxic blue-green algae blooms. Florida had issued a similar warning in early summer about bald eagles being killed after eating coots that had ingested the same cyanobacteria. Evidently, eagles can directly ingest the toxic bacteria just by fishing or drinking from contaminated waterways.

Power pole aversion training for captive-bred California Condors has been so successful, there are now efforts underway to extend and improve that for chicks fledged in the wild as well as follow-up training for Condors already released to free-flying population. This training first started back in 1994 with captive-bred Condors destined for release into the wild because electrocution, along with lead poisoning and microtrash, are the main threats to Condors. Listen to the success statistics! ... Since that first started in 1994, there have been NO (as in not a single one!) electrocutions of a captive-bred Condor by perching on power poles, and only one (count 'em - ONE! - back in 2001!) electrocution of a Southern California Condor caused by a mid-air collission with power lines!!!!!
(After I read this, it made me realize that this might be what RRP was looking into as it might relate to the Bald Eagles in Decorah.)
Excellent read on Power Pole Aversion Training!

WE HAVE WORK TO DO, PEEPS!!! From RRP's FB page:
Raptor Resource Project
59 mins ?
Earlier this month a released Philippine Eagle named #Pamana was shot and killed. Our friends at the Philippine Eagle Foundation were devastated. Adding to their sorrow, their government is considering stopping Philippine Eagle releases. It is our position that the Philippine Eagle can't be recovered without releases, education, protective laws, and strict enforcement. Dennis Salvador, the director of the Philippine Eagle Foundation, will be testifying in front of the Philippine congress on Tuesday, September 1st, in support of continuing releases.
I've linked to our letter supporting the Philippine Eagle Foundation and future releases. http://www.raptorresource.org/PEF.pdf. We are asking you to support Philippine Eagle releases as well. Please consider posting your positive support on their facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/phileaglefdn or Tweet to @PhilEagleFdn. Let our friends in the Philippines know you care. They are doing amazing work, and they had Bob's support as well.

Jocelyn Pride named 2015 Travel Photographer of the Year by the Australian Society of Travel Writers.
Flyaway was taken in Alaska?s Inside Passage and also published in Luxury Travel.
?We were in a small boat and I watched this bald eagle sitting in the treetops for what seemed like hours,? Pride says.
?As I was on the long end of my lens, my camera was getting heavier by the minute. A clue when eagles are about to take flight is that they poop. Patience was eventually rewarded as the eagle pooped then flew right past the boat. He was definitely on a mission and so was I ? motor winder on overdrive as I held my breath to keep the camera steady.
?I love this photo because, as the symbol of America, this eagle represents strength, power and determination. The way the light caught the end of the feathers was a bonus.?

First, there was this story from August 2015 that highlighted the discovery of the first bald eagle's nest in an Indiana state park. So far so good, as long as you ignore the park's naturalist calling eagles "cowards" when confronted by human activity. ???
http://www.fox28.com/story/29746149/2015/08/09/fox28
And now this! The state is going to build a resort in the park, just a mile from the only bald eagle nest. The DNR is fully on board with this idea and makes a ridiculous statement that "federal regulations mandate builders to keep construction sites at least 330 ft. away from eagle nests," so everything should be OK. Yeah, right. Poor eagles. They just bought their dream home and will now have to put up with bulldozers and then tourists. Or NOT! Habitat, people! >:(

And in a much more eagle-friendly part of Indiana, there's this very familiar story of an eagle nest being destroyed by a storm. Make sure you click on the photo to see a few more - looks eerily like the N2 scene!!! One surprising fact was that the single fledgling from that nest was seen in the area after the storm! Everyone was worried about it. Must be a homebody to have stayed so close to home so far. LOL!

A surprise inspection of a CITCO open-air oil/water separator resulted in convictions for Clean Air Act and Migratory Bird Treaty Act violations. This case has been in the courts since at least 2007 and a Texas circuit court just tossed out the convictions, the appeals and the fines. http://www.lexology.com/library/detail.aspx?g=f70dac63-e664-4103-a0fe-201c53e04755
Among the bird remains discovered were five White Pelicans, twenty (regular old) Ducks, two Northern Shoveler Ducks, four Double Crested Cormorants, one Lesser Scaup Duck, one Black-Bellied Whistling Tree Duck, one Blue-Winged Teal Duck, and one Fulvous Whistling Tree Duck. In some circuit courts, this "take" is deemed a crime because it's a unlawful killing regardless of the cause. But in this court and others, it's not considered a "take" because it wasn't intentional, like hunting. IMO, this is a willfully ignorant interpretation of the Act and would decriminalize all such killings by a lawful commercial operation, like a wind farm.
The "take" issue may eventually have to be resolved by the Supreme Court, which could be years and millions of bird deaths away. The USFWS is currently working on regulations for "take permits" for a variety of commercial operations (oil retention ponds), possibly including wind turbines and electric distribution and transmission lines. Take permits allow a very limited number of unintentional killings but require reporting those takings and then mitigating the causes to prevent recurrence. If the permits become law, the MBTA will finally have teeth and this nonsense will be stopped.

There is if big government will back off & let them have the duck back. There is no reason morally for them to have the duck when it is a retirement home & the people need something to occupy their time to watch it. We have a hospital with a large pond that is home to ducks that people can watch during the day & people in cars can see when they drive by. The government is trying to make all of us bow down & give up all our rights. I SAY it is time to stop it or the government will be telling us we can't even watch the birds & animals that we enjoy so much now.

I am heartsick over this news. It was a fatal shooting this past Thursday, Oct. 8th, 2015. I don't understand the part of that report that says the shooting was "self reported" - does that mean the shooter reported it to the Arizona Game and Fish Department? I don't know, but the Arizona Game and Fish Department did a preliminary investigation, and the Fish and Wildlife Service law enforcement personnel have taken it over.
That news report says 70 California Condors are in a flock that roams the Arizona-Utah border. That now needs to be corrected to say, 69 California Condors are in a flock that roams the Arizona-Utah border. >:( :( :'(

Condor Chick Has Two Mommies: http://www.audubon.org/news/condor-chick-has-two-mommies
Thanks, T40!
In the "Other Raptor Cams and Info" board in Forum, there is a thread for the very same Condor nest and chick discussed in the Audubon article posted above by T40 today. The name of the Forum thread for that wild California Condor nest and about-to-fledge chick is, "Big Sur, California Condors: Ventana Wildlife Society Camera - 2015" and I quoted T40's post from here to there today at:
http://www.raptorresource.org/forum/index.php/topic,2058.msg438954.html#msg438954
That article posted today by T40 is an exceptionally good article for anyone to read who is interested in the California Condor's plight and attempts to save it from extinction. There is some incredible new info in it!

Thanks, baz for gathering all the items together here. I saw Finn's post here about a week ago. I was shocked at first. Why would they cut a program that is working, so well-managed and imagined and has captured the public's attention? Money. Other priorities that also need funding from a woefully underfunded department. Not a good answer, but it's real and agonizing. :(
-
T40, OM's statement about that (the link to that is part of my post) speaks to that money issue. OM's money is not from public funds.
It's here... scroll down in the OM statement linked here to the paragraph titled, "Costly," and read about OM's funds being privately sourced.
Statement from OM:
http://operationmigration.org/InTheField/2015/10/24/usfws-vision-recommends-ending-aircraft-guided-migration/
-
baz - The more I read up on this the more it's looking like a done deal.
The U.S. and Canadian wildlife services provide 50% of the funding for this project, by law and a Memorandum of Understanding between the U.S. and Canada, and are in partnership with many other entities for the remaining funds. This includes, of course, Operation Migration and their donors.
The Whooping Crane Eastern Partnership (WCEP) is, again, by law, an experiment. The FWS is required by law (there's a theme here that's stacked against OM) under the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) to evaluate the effectiveness of the Service's programs it is tasked with creating and managing. According to the Service's Vision Document, this experiment is costly and is not and will not meet the criteria established for the Eastern Migratory Population (EMP) reintroduction. Here's that citation:
"The recovery plan?s objective requires that any additional population be self-sustaining. To quantify this, WCEP adopted a persistence-based criterion for the EMP. That is, when in the absence of additional releases, the EMP has an acceptably small probability of going extinct over a mutually-acceptable timeframe (e.g., 50-100 years). Although the details of this criterion
have not yet been fully defined, the EMP clearly falls short of this criterion. Recent population models, conducted as part of the 2014 WCEP Structured Decision Making Process, predicted that, the EMP will be declining or extinct under all evaluated scenarios within 75 years. It appears that, without substantive changes, the EMP is unlikely to meet the Objective."
So, FWS has to look at alternatives, which is what the Vision Document and the regulatory process is all about. What's not said is the presumed pressure being put upon FWS from Canada and its other partners, along with the national budgetary pressures.
The good thing about this whole process is that the entire focus is on the survival of the whooping crane. And it sure sounds like that's going to include well-established protocols in the future that have been successful in the reintroduction of birds like the California condor and peregrine falcon.
Here's a fact sheet on the WCEP as well as the Vision Document itself.

This is an editorial from the online paper, Fredericksburg.com, out of Fredericksburg, VA.
BAD
Two bald eagles were treated last month at the Wildlife Center of Virginia for gunshot wounds. Both had to be euthanized, including one found in the Quantico area.
The center in Waynesboro received an eagle from the Marine Corps base April 17 after it had been hit by a dump truck.
When it was X?rayed, metal fragments indicating a gunshot wound were found.
This past Monday, another eagle was admitted to the wildlife center after a state Game and Inland Fisheries officer found it at Carter?s Grove Planation in James City County. It had been hit with gunfire in the leg.
The bald eagle is the national bird and appears on the Great Seal of the United States. Under federal law, it is illegal to shoot one. The penalty can reach a fine of $100,000 and a year in jail.
If the perpetrators of these shootings are arrested and found guilty, they should receive the maximum sentence.

Oh WOWOW, T40! And what a gorgeous Bald Eagle! Thanks for sharing the video of the brothers getting that Bald Eagle out of the trap in the woods. I'm glad the Eagle was able to fly when they released him (as told in the accompanying news article). What a lucky Bald Eagle that those two brothers came along when they did and managed to get the eagle free and released - though it looked like they could've been a little easier with him. And the lovely Golden Retriever stayed mostly calm and well-behaved but probably scared the Bald Eagle like crazy, considering the eagle's trauma. That Eagle must've been in a major load of stress! These two young men did a wonderful thing. I hope the Wildlife Office was able to contact the hunter who set the trap, as was mentioned in the news article. P.S. Hope you get your selfie with a Bald Eagle one day, too. :D ;) (But I hope it is not with a bird caught in a hunter's trap!)

Kay from SOAR releases a bald eagle!
A slow motion video of the eagle release on 23 November 2015. An adult female bald eagle was admitted from Greene County on 19 September 2015. Her vision was limited on admit, she had bumps and bruises, and was missing a few primary feathers. She received antibiotic eye drops and time in the flight pen. Her vision improved within a couple weeks and new feathers have or are growing in. Time to go...

https://www.audubon.org/news/two-brothers-and-bald-eagle-epic-selfie-or-epic-fail
This Audubon article may be technically correct, but using "epic fail" in the story headline is an overreach. The two Canadians who rescued that trapped Bald Eagle saved its life. They had good in their hearts and helped more than harmed. Sure, the Eagle could've suffered sudden death from the stress, and could've needed treatment if had been taken to a rehabber, but it was surely going to die, and likely in some grizzly way, if it had not been found and freed. Even trained rescuers and rehabbers have their pictures taken when rescuing and transporting and releasing birds and other animals. The article is right to point out the proper way to handle finding a bird that is injured, but the writer could've found a lot more to gripe about the causes of injury to raptors, and missed an opportunity to use that rescue to point out the plight that raptors and other birds face, including being harmed and killed by baited traps.

The Redding Eagles have pulled a fast one on their fans and built an alternate nest. I feel for them! The Friends of the Redding Eagles had just raised $4,000 to upgrade the nest cam and now this happens. Checked their Facebook page and they've done this before. Heartbreakers!
Quote from FB page:
Friends of the Redding Eagles
December 5 at 12:11pm ?
With the news of the alternate nest being built by Liberty & Spirit, I want to let you know that we will still follow them through the nesting season & post as many photos & videos as we can!
The same thing happened here a few years ago when we had bought a new camera & TB installed it & then the Eagles built a new nest one tree over!
Mother Nature always knows best! That old nest had an unstable support branch that soon broke off & that nest eventually fell apart. So perhaps something didn't feel safe about their old nest?
Cottonwood Trees are famous for losing large limbs & that is their tree of choice in this area!
It will be more work for our Ground Crew to keep you all filled in this season, but we will do our best! We may need to recruit a few of you to help us out!
Kit & I took several photos & videos of them working on the new nest this morning & we'll post them soon!
Stay positive folks, they are both healthy & they are still close by so we can keep tabs on them!

T40 -- John Dingle told a story at Bob's celebration of life about Bob having John wear the hat. He told John what to do but I don't think he filled him in on exactly what would happen. Bob then grabbed the hat and rushed off to inseminate the female. It was a pretty funny story.

Jack Molan Photography

This is not what you think (maybe) we have all seen the classic swoop and snatch images of Bald Eagles grabbing fish. (Incredible as it is) This eagle was on our boat munching on a chunk of cod-fish he pulled out of our fish net. As he rose to take off I thought he would swoop up and away, but instead he came down along side the boat and close to me. He needed to wash his talons off. My camera was not fast enough to get any other shots (in my surprise). He flew along for second, dipping and shaking his feet, then lifted off still shaking off the drops....Please share if you like!

If You Accidentally Break the Law, Are You a Criminal?
This article is about criminal intent and irrelevant to the story they cite about a rescued woodpecker. All states need Good Samaritan laws to protect wildlife rescuers against criminal prosecution under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act. I'm not too sure this woodpecker rescuer meets the necessary criteria though - she took the bird shopping and never called a rehabber for advice.

Thanks, T40. I haven't read the first link you posted here yet, but I did read the 2nd one, and it is interesting that one of the theories (just a theory, mind you) about why the GBH population has declined so dramatically along the Maine coast is the possibility of predation by Bald Eagles. I would wonder then if there was a large increase in the population of the GBH there back when the Bald Eagle population declined so dramatically due to the results of pesticide use. We know the Bald Eagle population is rising dramatically in many places recently as it has so successfully rebounded from near extinction. I would think there would be a change in the eco-balancing from that increase in raptor population. Just thinking out loud. LOL... :D

Thank you so much for posting this, glogdog!!! I have followed this California Condor recovery program for a while now - it is one big story. I cried tears of joy reading this wonderful news of 35-year old AC-4's release to fly free again for the first time after 30 years of captivity and after producing 30 Condor offspring that were ultimately released to the wild. AC-4 was captured in 1985 when he was about 5 years old and was one of the last 23 California Condors still alive in the entire world (that total of 23 birds included all wild and captive California Condors still alive at that time!), and played a major role in helping to keep his species alive today... so far... Oh my gosh, I so hope he finds a mate and nests this year!!! I hope he stays safe and flies free for many years to come!!! They can live to be 60-years old. I hope everyone will read about this and help these birds survive. I'm so happy for this good news, and would have loved to have witnessed AC-4 soaring away, high and free, on his majestic 9-foot wingspan! :-* :-* :-*

Very interesting story, T40! Just goes to show you how strong the urge to procreate is in Bald Eagles! They somehow persevere, and keep going on and on year after year, despite repeated failures and losses. This is an amazing BE family history! Sad, too, about the many known electrocutions related to this Eagle family history, and noteworthy in light of the Decorah Eagles' history of fledgling electrocutions. I don't know if I could bring myself to watch them this year, knowing the history, and the ominous reporting on the owls there this year... almost told as a foreboding. But I will hope for them to have success here this year.

Thanks for the link to the story on the eagle trio, T40. I've been seeing photos of that trio for awhile now on Facebook but not really any additional info except location and that it is 2 males and 1 female. I know it's not unheard of to have a trio but I believe it's rare. The only one I've read anything about was the one several years ago of 2 females and 1 male on Santa Catalina Island, CA. I tried to find more info. about your trio, T40, but couldn't and I also could not access the webcam. So, I was thrilled to see your link and learn more about this trio. What an amazing story and what tragedy they've endured but still kept living their lives and carrying on. I hope we learn how this season works out for them.
-
ginger, I had also read before about the interesting development of the CA Bald Eagle trio of 2 females/1 male that you mentioned. It's interesting to read T40's post about the BE trio of 2 males/1 female. Doesn't sound like the 2nd male in T40's post helped much other than with nest-building, from what I read.

The UK loves its songbirds and some have placed the blame for their steep decline on the sparrowhawk and other raptors. Not true! Loss of habitat is the culprit, as it is in most other parts of the world.
Opinion - Raptor predation not to blame for wild birds' decline
http://www.westernmorningnews.co.uk/Opinion-Raptor-predation-blame-wild-birds-decline/story-28461909-detail/story.html
This leaflet is supported by 18 voluntary bodies and addresses concerns about the impact of predation by birds of prey (raptors) on songbirds. It explains that the principal cause of songbird declines is more likely to be the intensive use of land for agriculture than predation by sparrowhawks. It suggests policies and practices which are needed to reverse songbird declines.

Game wardens follow vultures to illegal game kill site, then track hunters. This is the last story on the page (but the others are worth reading) and provides a perfect example of why scavengers like vultures are poisoned by illegal hunters.

T40, I was VERY excited to read this entire article! I am so proud of the very tiny rural town of Walnut Cove, NC, which is not far from my old stomping grounds. They are "doing the right thing in the right way." I love that they are also bringing the schoolchildren into ther efforts to educate the businesses owners and citizens about the vultures. I'm so glad they are seeing success from their efforts after contacting knowledgeable people and following their recommendations.
Way to go, Walnut Cove!!! Sooooo many other towns could do better by following Walnut Cove's lead!

Saving California condors - How citizen scientists and biologists are working together to help the endangered birds
http://scienceline.org/2016/01/saving-california-condors/
Attention, citizen scientists! The California condors need your help!
The California condor is a critically endangered species and the population is suffering from the effects of lead poisoning. By tracking the location and social behavior of the animals we can better detect early warning signs of the illness.

T40, I hope you don't mind that I'm going to share this post of yours in the Forum's thread for the Operation Migration Whooping Cranes. at:
http://www.raptorresource.org/forum/index.php/topic,2047.msg454330.html#msg454330
I am beyond angry about this! I don't care how young this person is who shot and killed these 2 Whooping Cranes, he better get an active prison term out of it as far as I'm concerned... The story says the max he can get is 6 months, and I hope he gets sentenced to a good portion of that, and has to serve it. Someone has to start having the guts to enforce such laws! What good are these laws without enforcement?

Wow! T40, that story is truly cray-cray!!! I can't believe criminal charges haven't been brought yet! Though I noted there is a criminal investigation in progress. That's really too bad the company suffered so much malicious financial, physical property, and electronic/file/storage damage, but you have to wonder about any company hiring someone to run the whole financial side of a business and apparently not doing a thorough background check, or even verify the work/responsibilities represented by the person hired... At least from that news report it sounds to me like there was a major lapse in that regard. Bet that company uses a different process when they hire in the future!!!

Sad news - article is about the common murres, most found emaciated with death due to starvation from lack of food, which are mostly a type of fish that lives in a narrow temperature range and probably not found in high enough numbers this year due to the water being too warm for those fish... said problem first noticed starting this past August and 100,000 common murres estimated died since then from starvation, and also said in this most recent count of dead murres that had washed ashore there on the tide in Whittier, a beach town along Prince William Sound, that the scientists "found close to 8,000 birds on a 1-mile long beach."

'Wildlife criminal' goes to jail for smuggling falcon eggs
http://www.theguardian.com/environment/2010/aug/19/wildlife-criminal-jail-smuggling-eggs
Quote: Judge Christopher Hodson said: "I quote the words of a lord justice of appeal (Lord Justice Sedley) when he says, 'environmental crime, if established, strikes not only at a locality and its population but in some measure to the planet and its future'. I adopt these words to express the gravity of what you did. A substantial term of imprisonment needs to be imposed to punish you and deter others."

This handout photo taken on February 4, 2016 and released by the Philippine Eagle Foundation on February 8, 2016 shows a newly hatched, rare monkey-eating eagle at the Philippine Eagle Foundation's conservation breeding programme in Davao in the southern Philippines. The success of captive breeding of rare monkey-eating eagles in the southern Philippines has left the breeding facility scrambling for space, officials said February 8. Another eaglet was hatched last week, the second in barely three months, helping the giant bird's fight against extinction. PHOTO: AFP

LOL T40! I love this about the male Bowerbird! :D
PBS recently aired another episode of the "Nature" series that, I think, also featured this tricky behavior exhibited by the male Bowerbird. If it wasn't that bird, it was some tricky behavior by another bird, equally entertaining, used to "get his girl" to fall for him. ;) It was a really good episode, and included other animals that go to great lengths to use tricks for the same reason. :D What a hoot. ;)
That complete PBS Nature episode can currently be viewed online, (but NOTE*** it says that the video expires Feb. 28, 2016!!!) at:

baz - Yes, it was the bowerbird, but they left out the part about painting the inside red, which I thought was a very neat "trick." Thanks for the link; I enjoyed the episode.

Wildlife Officials Investigate Recent Bald Eagle Deaths
I have heard this theory before, namely that laws protecting bald eagles are contributing to their own deaths. I don't buy it. There's a much "tamer" version of the theory that's actually more in keeping with the original observations; bald eagles really do seem more accustomed to people now than in the past. There are all kinds of factors and limitations contributing to this observation, with nothing as nearly black-and-white as this article puts forward.

Internet bird nest revelations
http://arstechnica.com/science/2016/03/the-ugly-truth-behind-those-cute-baby-bird-internet-memes/
Yankee - I had posted a similar article in the "science" thread today, but there the author's of the research said the baby birds were tossed out of the nest because the adults had laid more eggs than they could raise. Hmmm. After reading it, I thought one of the best things the birds were doing for the alligators was attracting raccoons and wondered why that wasn't even mentioned. Too lazy to read the research paper, so I'll never know! ;)

S.2637 - A bill to amend the Migratory Bird Treaty Act to clarify the treatment of authentic Alaska Native articles of handicraft containing nonedible migratory bird parts, and for other purposes.
https://www.congress.gov/bill/114th-congress/senate-bill/2637
Now we know!! >:(
Here's the stated purpose of the bill. Keep in mind, it's talking about bald eagle (and other migratory birds') beaks, talons and feathers.
"To amend the Migratory Bird Treaty Act to exempt certain Alaskan Native articles from prohibitions against sale of items containing nonedible migratory bird parts, and for other purposes." (Emphasis added.)
And here's the text of the bill: https://www.congress.gov/bill/114th-congress/senate-bill/2637/text
Finally, here's the "offending" paragraph:
"(2) CLARIFICATION FOR CERTAIN AUTHENTIC ALASKA NATIVE ARTICLES OF HANDICRAFT.-Subject to paragraph (3) and notwithstanding any other provision of this Act, nothing in this Act prohibits the possession, offering for sale, sale, offering to barter, barter, offering to purchase, purchase, delivery for shipment, shipment, causing to be shipped or delivered for transportation, transport, causing to be transported, carrying, causing to be carried, or receiving for shipment, transportation, or carriage of any authentic Alaska Native article of handicraft on the basis that the authentic Alaska Native article of handicraft contains a nonedible migratory bird part." (Emphasis added.)

Speak up for swans at the Wisconsin Conservation Congress Spring Hearings
The topics of lead tackle and ammunition are on the agenda for Wisconsin's annual statewide Conservation Congress spring meetings. The meetings will take place in all 72 counties of the state on Monday, April 11, 2016, at 7:00 p.m. Each year, the events offer a chance for citizens to provide input on proposed changes to fish and wildlife regulations, elect Conservation Congress delegates, and introduce citizen resolutions.
The public input guides recommendations the Conservation Congress makes to the Natural Resources Board, based on voting results at the county meetings. The public is asked to vote on a number of questions.
Two of this year's questions have direct connections to lead poisoning in wildlife:
#22 - Require non-toxic shot on all DNR-managed lands;
#23 - Require non-toxic fishing tackle under 0.5 oz in weight.

At least six times in recent weeks, people have launched drones and harassed migrating geese at Middle Creek Wildlife Management Area.
...
The Game Commission also recently responded to a report of a drone flying close to the popular Eagle Cam nest near Hanover, York County. The drone and its operator were gone when game wardens showed up.

Thanks . I reposted your link in the Hanover nestcam thread so maybe Pat1640 can keep an eye out. I also reported the video to YouTube. Made me furious.

At least six times in recent weeks, people have launched drones and harassed migrating geese at Middle Creek Wildlife Management Area.
...
The Game Commission also recently responded to a report of a drone flying close to the popular Eagle Cam nest near Hanover, York County. The drone and its operator were gone when game wardens showed up.

Thanks . I reposted your link in the Hanover nestcam thread so maybe Pat1640 can keep an eye out. I also reported the video to YouTube. Made me furious.

Thora the Bald Eagle from SOAR (Saving Our Avian Resources), who was named in honor of a man named Thor who died in Afghanistan, weighs about 10lbs and is approximately 5 years old. She is being treated for lead poisoning after ingesting leadshot from a deceased animal. The beautiful bird was on display during the Bald Eagle Watch at the Jester Park Lodge. Attendees could also use spotting scopes set up around Saylorville Lake to observe bald eagles in the natural setting and learn about our national symbol, view a Red-Tailed Hawk up close, and watch two rehabilitated Barred Owls released back into the wild.(Photo: Lee Navin / Special to The Des Moines Register)

At least six times in recent weeks, people have launched drones and harassed migrating geese at Middle Creek Wildlife Management Area.
...
The Game Commission also recently responded to a report of a drone flying close to the popular Eagle Cam nest near Hanover, York County. The drone and its operator were gone when game wardens showed up.

Thanks . I reposted your link in the Hanover nestcam thread so maybe Pat1640 can keep an eye out. I also reported the video to YouTube. Made me furious.

There's no information on this bill yet, except the fact that it exists and its title.
S.2637 - A bill to amend the Migratory Bird Treaty Act to clarify the treatment of authentic Alaska Native articles of handicraft containing nonedible migratory bird parts, and for other purposes.
https://www.congress.gov/bill/114th-congress/senate-bill/2637
Now we know!! >:(
Here's the stated purpose of the bill. Keep in mind, it's talking about bald eagle (and other migratory birds') beaks, talons and feathers.
"To amend the Migratory Bird Treaty Act to exempt certain Alaskan Native articles from prohibitions against sale of items containing nonedible migratory bird parts, and for other purposes." (Emphasis added.)
And here's the text of the bill: https://www.congress.gov/bill/114th-congress/senate-bill/2637/text
Finally, here's the "offending" paragraph:
"(2) CLARIFICATION FOR CERTAIN AUTHENTIC ALASKA NATIVE ARTICLES OF HANDICRAFT.-Subject to paragraph (3) and notwithstanding any other provision of this Act, nothing in this Act prohibits the possession, offering for sale, sale, offering to barter, barter, offering to purchase, purchase, delivery for shipment, shipment, causing to be shipped or delivered for transportation, transport, causing to be transported, carrying, causing to be carried, or receiving for shipment, transportation, or carriage of any authentic Alaska Native article of handicraft on the basis that the authentic Alaska Native article of handicraft contains a nonedible migratory bird part." (Emphasis added.)
Update: A Proposed Rule by the Fish and Wildlife Service on 06/17/2016 (evidently Congress thought this would be a great idea >:()
Migratory Bird Subsistence Harvest in Alaska; Use of Inedible Bird Parts in Authentic Alaska Native Handicrafts for Sale
https://www.federalregister.gov/articles/2016/06/17/2016-14411/migratory-bird-subsistence-harvest-in-alaska-use-of-inedible-bird-parts-in-authentic-alaska-native?utm_campaign=subscription+mailing+list&utm_medium=email&utm_source=federalregister.gov

I've consolidated all the posts about the "eagle killer," cyanobacteria growing on hydrilla. Eagle exposure can occur from being in contact with water where it grows or by eating waterfowl, such as coots, that have eaten the hydrilla. The 1st article is a good "CSI" account of how it was found and where the scientific name comes from.

Well, this is very scary news. Infected coots are killing bald eagles. :-\

"Iowa waterways are a disgrace." So says a Des Moines Register editorial with regard to toxic blue-green algae blooms. Florida had issued a similar warning in early summer about bald eagles being killed after eating coots that had ingested the same cyanobacteria. Evidently, eagles can directly ingest the toxic bacteria just by fishing or drinking from contaminated waterways.

Re: New developments in the field of science
? Reply #133 on: October 19, 2015, 11:34:46 AM ?
Update: Basically, nothing has changed but the warnings still apply because coots are now returning to lakes where they will overwinter. While blue-green algae blooms are up in Iowa, there's no specific info on the cyanobacterium responsible for eagle deaths.

From the "Audubon Advisory" for July, 2016: http://www.audubonaction.org/site/MessageViewer?em_id=67785.0&pgwrap=n
Your Actions at Work
Comments to Oppose 30-Year Permits to Kill Eagles
When the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) proposed new rules which would grant wind companies 30-year permits to kill Bald and Golden Eagles, Audubon, backed by our grassroots supporters like you, responded forcefully. In addition to our own detailed technical comments, more than 24,900 people sent public comments to the agency to oppose 30-year permits. Thank you for sending comments. Participating in the public review process is one of the most powerful tools we have to influence sound conservation policies, and to make a stand against ill-conceived proposals. Read more about why Audubon opposes 30-year permits at Audubon.org.

Audubon and Other Groups Call for Strengthening the Migratory Bird Treaty Act
Audubon's CEO David Yarnold and top leaders from nine other major environmental organizations called on the Obama administration to move forward with rules to update and strengthen the Migratory Bird Treaty Act. In a letter, the organizations asked that new rules be finalized soon to address the needless deaths of birds from threats such as power lines and oil waste pits.
The Migratory Bird Treaty Act protects nearly all of the species that nest and migrate through the United States. The law, which passed nearly 100 years ago, helped successfully end the wanton killing of birds from the plume trade and unregulated hunting. Modern-day threats, however, are still killing millions of birds, but they can be prevented. To do so, the MBTA needs to be updated for the 21st century to allow the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to address these threats, known as "incidental take".
In the letter, the organizations asked President Obama to proceed with this crucial rulemaking. Last year, the Fish and Wildlife Service issued a Notice of Intent to begin considering changes to the MBTA. With limited time remaining in this administration, it is important that these rules be proposed for public review and comment in the near term.

West Nile virus takes its toll on center's birds of prey (subscription required >:( )
http://www.heraldtimesonline.com/life/outdoors/west-nile-virus-takes-its-toll-on-center-s-birds/article_49afb787-895a-5766-b91d-66167d340552.html
From the rehabber's FB page:
Indiana Raptor Center
July 5 at 1:14am ?
We are admitting patients at a record breaking pace as are several other rehab centers in the region- we are never able to explain these things unless it occurs during and because of West Nile Virus season- which does not hit until August.
Still receiving babies in early July! This screech owlet came in this morning from Terre Haute- via angel Karen who meets us in Spencer for the relay.
He is suffering from a nasty leg break at the lower end of his tibia. The fracture is nearly in the joint so it is not possible to use steel pins to surgically repair the break.
It is most frustrating to splint little feathery legs without making a big mess out of a little bird. His spirits are very high though as he downed a large chopped mouse as soon as the last piece of tape was place on his leg! He has been give meds for pain, sleep and swelling... To the vet in the morning- wish him well!

National Audubon Society: Watch this adorable Piping Plover video
Piping Plovers take refuge under a parent for warmth and security. But sometimes it can get crowded under there!
https://www.facebook.com/NationalAudubonSociety/videos/10153854601584007/
How many Piping Plover chicks can fit under a parent plover?
These adorable little families are a delight to watch sprinting across the sand, foraging for worms and chasing the waves. Tiny - and cute - as they are, Piping Plovers are vulnerable to the effects of their fellow beachcombers, humans.
So if you're heading to the beach, be sure to share the shore with plovers and other birds by:
1. Leaving no trace. Remove all trash and recycle whenever possible.
2. Disposing of fishing line properly.
3. Keeping dogs on leashes and obeying local laws regarding dogs.
4. Respecting protected areas and signs.

Thanks for posting this article. My favorite quote is "There are four nests in the Chesapeake Bay area with four babies each."
Would love to see 4 Eaglets on a nest cam next season. Until then, will have to be happy with the 4 on the nest in a youtube video.

Global Methomyl Market Outlook 2016-2021: Table of Contents

"Methomyl is a carbamate insecticide used to control foliage and soil-borne insect pests on a variety of food and feed crops. Methomyl is used mostly in agriculture, and is currently registered for use on field vegetables like lettuce, orchard crops like oranges, and on turf (sod farms only). Some agricultural uses are being canceled or reduced during 2015. The only non-agriculture use of methomyl is as fly bait product, which is not a restricted use."

Facebook Page of SOAR - Saving Our Avian Resources - August 20, 2016
Here is a little video of SOAR's work with the Iowa DNR and the Osprey Reintroduction Project that was completed this year. Many thanks to our dedicated volunteer Vic who takes care of the osprey every year that they are placed at Swan Lake State Park which is run by Carroll County Conservation Board. It is hoped that these endearing birds will imprint on Iowa and come back to nest. Also thanks to Vic for pictures of the birds as they made their first outings into the world. You will see the first bird take flight, and fly like it has flown every day of it's life.
2016 Osprey Reintroduction with Release
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7iLHxjqQGTI&feature=youtu.be
YouTube Comments - Published on Aug 20, 2016
SOAR assisted the Iowa DNR with reintroduction of osprey into the state. In July, SOAR volunteers and DNR staff went to Minnesota and with the help of Minnesota Power staff, collected osprey from active, healthy nests. Birds were taken care of, examined, and vaccinated by SOAR. Birds were placed in hack towers in Clear Lake and at Swan Lake State Park. In the video, the tower doors open at Swan Lake and the first bird does not hesitate to soar into the sky. The birds hang around and are fed daily by Vic, a SOAR volunteer, until they start their way to Central America for the winter. Thank you Vic for all of your work keeping these birds fed! Learn more about SOAR's involvement with osprey reintroduction here:

West Nile virus takes its toll on center's birds of prey (subscription required >:( )
http://www.heraldtimesonline.com/life/outdoors/west-nile-virus-takes-its-toll-on-center-s-birds/article_49afb787-895a-5766-b91d-66167d340552.html
From the rehabber's FB page:
Indiana Raptor Center
July 5 at 1:14am ?
We are admitting patients at a record breaking pace as are several other rehab centers in the region- we are never able to explain these things unless it occurs during and because of West Nile Virus season- which does not hit until August.
Still receiving babies in early July! This screech owlet came in this morning from Terre Haute- via angel Karen who meets us in Spencer for the relay.
He is suffering from a nasty leg break at the lower end of his tibia. The fracture is nearly in the joint so it is not possible to use steel pins to surgically repair the break.
It is most frustrating to splint little feathery legs without making a big mess out of a little bird. His spirits are very high though as he downed a large chopped mouse as soon as the last piece of tape was place on his leg! He has been give meds for pain, sleep and swelling... To the vet in the morning- wish him well!

The following is copied from Forum's "Birds in the News" thread where T40cfr403 posted yesterday the news of the shooting and killing of two Whooping Cranes in Texas.
T40's post can be found in that thread at:
http://www.raptorresource.org/forum/index.php/topic,2027.msg453624.html#msg453624
Below is a quote of T40's post along with my reply posted in that same thread.
Texas man charged with killing endangered whooping cranes

T40, I hope you don't mind that I'm going to share this post of yours in the Forum's thread for the Operation Migration Whooping Cranes. I am beyond angry about this! I don't care how young this person is who shot and killed these 2 Whooping Cranes, he better get an active prison term out of it as far as I'm concerned... The story says the max he can get is 6 months, and I hope he gets sentenced to a good portion of that, and has to serve it. Someone has to start having the guts to enforce such laws! What good are these laws without enforcement?

Update: Mini-documentary of Challenger's day!
Video: Challenger Soars at Jackson Dinsdale Art Center Dedication Ceremony - August 20, 2016
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CAfyzkK5Fok&feature=em-subs_digest
Published on Aug 22, 2016
On August 20th, 2016, the American Eagle Foundation had the honor of flying Challenger the Eagle at the Jackson Dinsdale Art Center dedication ceremony at Hastings College in Nebraska. This art center was built in honor of a very special young man who passed away in 2014 while studying in the art program. Our hearts go out to the family and friends of Jackson Dinsdale we thank them for allowing us to be a part of the legacy of this school.
During the second half of the video, we've included some fun B-roll from our travels...including riding on a private jet, graciously provided by the generous and kind Dinsdale family who didn't want to AEF driving 12+ hours to and from airports, and giving a school program to Barr Elementary school in Grand Island, Nebraska.

These types of actions are prohibited by other laws and regulations such as the Migratory Bird Treaty Act (see 16 U.S.C. 703; 50 CFR part 21), the Endangered Species Act (ESA), and the Marine Mammal Protection Act (MMPA). The FAA emphasizes that in addition to satisfying the provisions of this rule, remote pilots of a small UAS will remain subject to all applicable laws, including environmental and wildlife laws."

Uniting Against Organized Wildlife Crime
http://voices.nationalgeographic.com/2016/09/15/uniting-against-organized-wildlife-crime/
Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES) - World Wildlife Conference
https://cites.org/cop17
The CITES Appendices
https://cites.org/eng/app/index.php
Appendices I, II and III - valid from 10 March 2016
https://cites.org/eng/app/appendices.php
Appendix I lists species that are the most endangered among CITES-listed animals and plants. They are threatened with extinction and CITES prohibits international trade in specimens of these species except when the purpose of the import is not commercial.
Appendix II lists species that are not necessarily now threatened with extinction but that may become so unless trade is closely controlled. It also includes so-called "look-alike species."
Appendix III is a list of species included at the request of a Party that already regulates trade in the species and that needs the cooperation of other countries to prevent unsustainable or illegal exploitation.

VDOT crews rescue injured peregrine falcon

It's back. The U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service has proposed a revised version of the 30-year eagle take permit for wind energy installations. The original proposal was overturned in August, 2015, as a result of a lawsuit filed against USFWS by the American Bird Conservancy (ABC).
There were many, many stories published yesterday and today on the subject. This is one of the better examples from the national media.
New Wind Energy Permits Would Raise Kill Limit of Bald Eagles But Still Boost Conservation, Officials Say - http://abcnews.go.com/US/wind-energy-permits-raise-kill-limit-bald-eagles/story?id=38881089
And this is one of the better examples from a business perspective.
FWS retools plans for 30-year permits to kill eagles (includes reminder that the rule also pertains to power lines) - http://www.eenews.net/stories/1060036724
This is the USFWS press release.

Poster Session Abstract on Lead:
Blood Lead Levels of Fall Migrant Golden Eagles (Aquila
chrysaetos) Captured in Montana

Lead has long been documented as a serious environmental
hazard to eagles and other predatory, opportunistic, and
scavenging avian species. However, the degree to which
lead poisoning is prevalent in eagle populations is not well
understood. We analyzed blood from 178 Golden Eagles
captured on fall migration in Montana from 2006 to 2012
to determine blood lead levels (BLL). Of these, 58% (n =
103) of eagles had elevated BLL (> 10 μg/dl), 10% (n =
17) were exposed at a level considered clinical (> 60 μg/
dl), and 4% (n = 7) had BLL considered lethal (> 120 μg/
dl). Golden Eagles captured on carrion had higher BLL than
those captured using live bait, suggesting differences in BLL
may be due to variations in feeding habits among individuals.
Our findings suggest that migrant golden eagles in western
North America are susceptible to lead poisoning during fall
migration and furthermore, that scavenging behavior may
lead to this problem.

Oklahoma celebrity owl found shot to death, game wardens investigating (this is Mrs. Tiger). I was surprised to see this story on my local news this morning since it's not a local story. I've watched this cam a few times. It's a cam of GHOs nesting in a flower box in Oklahoma City.

Oh, no!!!! This made me cry - I've watched that cam, too, especially the entire first year. Most times I like birds more than people. This is one of those times. >:( :'(

From RRP's FB page 11/4/16:
Raptor Resource Project added 5 new photos
2 hrs
We got some great news from the bird banding lab last week! Two falcons from Xcel Energy sites were spotted many miles from their places of origin.
Falcon Mel hatched at Xcel's Prairie Island plant near Hastings, MN. She was the youngest of an unusually large five-falcon clutch and was maybe 15 days old at banding as compared to her 19-22 day old siblings. An article about the banding can be read here: http://bit.ly/2e8AQ2f. Her band was reported by Alberto Charles, a raptor rehabber near Cancun, Quintana Roo, Mexico, roughly 1700 miles from her birthplace!
Falcon Roberta (named after Robert Anderson) hatched at Xcel's Riverside plant in NE Minneapolis. She was spotted near Capleville, TN, by Michael Linz and is about 700 miles from home. I'll post juvenile photos of her when we get them.
Thanks to all of you who report bands to the Bird Banding Lab! If you see a band and want to report it, visit https://www.pwrc.usgs.gov/BBL/bblretrv/
Falcon Mel at rehab in Cancun.

Another photo of Mel. Note the juvenile plumage. Falcons don't gain adult plumage until they are around two years old.

GM T40 C(_) .. why are they shocked . just doing what comes nature . a Birdie has to eat :o
-
k4nil and Porridge - The "Daily Mail" really goes for sensational headlines. I smiled when I saw it and wondered just how "shocked" onlookers might really be. Not so much. :D A few years of eagle watching has cured me of the "horror." I now look forward to those teaching moments when Mom and Dad show the little ones how to defeather and then watching the mice sneak off with a feather or two for their own nest. :D Circle of life . . .

Bald, Golden Eagle Protection and Permitting: https://www.fws.gov/cno/conservation/MigratoryBirds/EaglePermits.html
(https://www.fws.gov/cno/conservation/MigratoryBirds/eagleperch.jpg)
Friday, September 11, 2009, Part II, Department of the Interior, Fish and Wildlife Service, 50 CFR Parts 13 and 22,
Eagle Permits; Take Necessary To Protect Interests in Particular Localities; Final Rules
https://www.fws.gov/northeast/EcologicalServices/pdf/FinalDisturbanceRule9Sept2009.pdf
EIS for Eagle Take Permits for the Chokecherry Sierra Madre Phase I Project
https://www.fws.gov/mountain-prairie/wind/ChokecherrySierraMadre/index.php
(https://www.fws.gov/mountain-prairie/wind/ChokecherrySierraMadre/images/Map-CCSM.jpg)
Selected Highlights:
"The estimated annual take for the 120-meter-diameter turbine would be 2 bald eagles and 14 golden eagles. The estimated annual take for the 103-meter-diameter turbine would be 1 bald eagle and 10 golden eagles."
The permit "would cover disturbance take of 2 bald eagles at one nest and 8 golden
eagles at four nests on an annual basis until project construction is completed. Disturbance
take would include injury to eagles at these nests, any reduction of productivity at these
nests, or abandonment of these nests."
"...the number of power pole retrofits that would be needed to offset the take of golden eagles
from the CCSM Phase I Project would be between 1,492 and 3,778, depending on the turbine
blade diameter and the number of years for which the retrofit would prevent loss of eagles."
"Passerines are expected to experience the highest fatality rates,
but raptors, waterbirds, and waterfowl may also experience high rates of collision fatalities.
The continuation of impacts from habitat loss, alteration, and fragmentation from
construction would persist for the long-term. Raptors, passerines, and some shorebirds are
particularly susceptible to the indirect and habitat-based impacts of habitat loss,
fragmentation, displacement, and disruption. Special status bird species would experience
impacts similar to those on more common species, but these impacts could be amplified due
to smaller populations, stringent habitat requirements, and restricted ranges."
"Power pole retrofits are a credible, quantifiable, and USFWS-approved form of
compensatory mitigation. However, we would consider other forms of mitigation if their
benefits to golden eagles were proven credible and quantifiable, and could achieve no-net-loss of golden eagles."
"Impacts on birds (other than eagles) could include injury or fatality from collision with wind
turbines, overhead power lines, meteorological or communication towers, buildings, or
vehicles, as well as electrocution by power lines. Habitat loss, degradation, fragmentation,
disturbance, and displacement could also occur as a result of construction and operation of
wind facilities, which could result in various detrimental impacts on the bird community.
Many of the impacts could be compounded by the cumulative impacts from past, present, and
reasonably foreseeable future development in addition to other land uses and regional - or global-scale environmental changes."
"Based on our Final EA for the eagle take permit rule, the combined take threshold for the Rocky Mountain and Rocky Mountains and Plains is 44 bald eagles. The estimated take of 3.4 bald eagles per year leaves 40.6 bald eagles per year that
could still be taken from Region 6."
"Based on our Final EA for the eagle take permit rule, the combined take threshold for golden eagles is zero; therefore, any predicted golden eagle take would need to be mitigated."

Bald Eagle Rescued from Ice Tests Positive for Lead Poisoning
http://whotv.com/2016/12/20/bald-eagle-rescued-from-ice-tests-positive-for-lead-poisoning/
SOAR - Saving Our Avian Resources
December 19
19 Dec 2016 "Euclid" bald eagle admit~ Lead poisoning is wasteful of our resources! ~
SOAR volunteer Deb had a busy day today, unfortunately. Deb transported to SOAR this bald eagle, a trumpeter swan, a great horned owl, and we think, a juvenile red-shouldered hawk. We are awaiting positive ID on the hawk.
This adult female bald eagle was rescued from the Des Moines River ice in Des Moines near Euclid Avenue today. When you watch the video, you can see the symptoms of lead poisoning. This eagle's blood lead level on our diagnostic equipment registered "HI." HI means her blood lead level is greater than 0.65 ppm. Read more about rehabilitating when lead is involved here: http://soarraptors.org/rehabilitating-birds-with-lead-exposure/
This eagle is thin at 8 pounds. Late this afternoon, Kay gave her some high calorie fluids as her system is not ready for solid food. She was given her first injection of chelation medication to address the lead in her body.
Thank you to the Animal Rescue League of Iowa for getting her off the ice and to an Iowa DNR law enforcement officer that took her to Deb!
I don't have many details on the swan, owl, or hawk... sorry.

~ Euclid Update 21 Dec 2016 ~
This girl is still with us this morning. She has better balance and is able to hold her head up. Chelation continues. She had high-calorie fluids and a few bites of meat this morning. We are far from out of the woods.
On Euclid's original post and shares elsewhere, several had questions. Read this post on our website to learn about the impacts of lead. http://soarraptors.org/2016/12/impacts-of-lead/

4 hrs
~ Euclid bald eagle update 27 December 2016 ~
On the afternoon of the 26th her blood lead level was checked again... and while still high is at least detectable by our diagnostic equipment. Her BLL is 0.496 ppm. We will continue with the chelation injections for another week. While the drop in her blood lead level is good, we are not out of the woods yet.

If You Accidentally Break the Law, Are You a Criminal?
This article is about criminal intent and irrelevant to the story they cite about a rescued woodpecker. All states need Good Samaritan laws to protect wildlife rescuers against criminal prosecution under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act. I'm not too sure this woodpecker rescuer meets the necessary criteria though - she took the bird shopping and never called a rehabber for advice.

On the other hand, there are these criminals who should have the book thrown at them!

I just read this in the Iowa City Press Citizen. I'm just sick. :'(
Iowa conservation officers are looking for the poacher who shot a bald eagle and removed its head and talons.
A hiker discovered the bird's carcass on Wednesday in Yellow Banks County Park near the Des Moines River on the city's southeast side, according to a news release from the Iowa Department of Natural Resources.
But warm weather and the state of the body has made it difficult to estimate when the eagle died.
?We don?t have much to go on so we need some help. If anyone saw or heard shots in this area during the first two weeks of the year, we would like to know about it,? said State Conservation Officer Nate Anderson.
Anderson said people can use the Turn in Poachers website at www.iowadnr.gov/tip or by calling the hotline at 1-800-532-2020. Information can be left anonymously.
The DNR is holding a press conference at 12:30. Check back with The Des Moines Register for updates.
Bald eagles are a state and federally protected species since 1940 under the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act. Violators can receive a maximum fine of $5,000 or one year imprisonment with $10,000 or not more than two years in prison for a second conviction, according to U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. Felony convictions carry a maximum fine of $250,000 or two years of imprisonment. The fine doubles for an organization.
Rewards are provided for information leading to arrest and conviction for violating the act.

Hunters say non-toxic ammo hard to find as 7th lead-poisoned eagle found
http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/nova-scotia/bald-eagles-lead-ammo-hunters-cobequid-wildife-rehabilitation-1.4025999
Quotes:
"You'd be hard-pressed to walk into a department store today and put your hand on a box of non-lead ammunition..."
"...getting a consistent supply from manufacturers of non-lead bullets on his shelves in a calibre his customers are looking for is difficult."
"You need to know what you're looking for, you need to know the brand and what it's called. There is no major advertising campaign on the go right now..."
"...a wider ban on lead ammunition, including bullets, would fix the demand side of the problem and make the production of non-lead ammunition more cost-effective for manufacturers."
(https://i.cbc.ca/1.4026191.1489597349!/fileImage/httpImage/image.JPG_gen/derivatives/original_620/dave-mackay-lead-ammo.JPG)
Even when it is available, there's nothing on the more expensive package to indicate the ammunition is a non-lead product. (Colleen Jones/CBC)

Raptor from Borders shot in Yorkshire
The Herald27 Mar 2017
A YOUNG Scottish hen harrier found dead in the north of England last year was shot, according to a post-mortem examination.
The male bird, named Rowan, hatched at Langholm in the Borders, and was fitted with a satellite transmitter.
It was found dead in Ravenstonedale, in the Yorkshire Dales National Park, in October. A post-mortem examination by the Zoological Society of London, including a radiograph of the bird's fractured leg, has now revealed the injuries were "entirely consistent with it having been shot".
Rowan was tagged as part of a joint venture between Natural England and the Hawk and Owl Trust and his data showed he left Scotland and flew to the south coast of Kent, the first from the Langholm project to do so. He returned north in October.
The protected raptor's carcass was located after it was noticed it had stopped moving, and police were informed.

It was not very long ago that eagles, osprey, peregrine falcons and other raptors were a rare sight in Iowa. One of the people who worked hard to bring these species back from the brink is Pat Schlarbaum. In this Talk of Iowa with Charity Nebbe, hear from Schlarbaum as he retires from a thirty-three year career with the Iowa Department of Natural Resources. Also joining the conversation is Bruce Ehresman who has worked with Schlarbaum on many of his projects.
At around 14 min into the program they begin talking about the return of peregrine falcons to Iowa and Bob Anderson is mentioned.

Rare Clip - Eagle feeding Baby Hawk and Baby Eagle at same time
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K31a6gsxGgM&feature=youtu.be
https://twitter.com/Sassephoto/status/871496172724080640
Published on Jun 5, 2017
"This is a nest occupied by 3 eaglets and 1 baby hawk, the eaglets are about 10 weeks old, the baby hawk about 4 weeks old. Amazingly the hawk is doing well with its 3 huge siblings! How did the hawk get into the nest? According to David Hancock, Eagle Biologist, likely mama hawk was involved in a fight with an eagle, lost, brought to the nest and laid an egg as it died. Since there were already eggs in the nest, the eagles incubated all eggs and treat the baby hawk as an eagle!"

Since there were already eggs in the nest, the eagles incubated all eggs and treat the baby hawk as an eagle!"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rurXi3nDcD4
Update: Just watched the live-streamed update. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rurXi3nDcD4
Briefly, hawklet is doing great after fledging and has made it back to the nest to be fed. Eaglets have another 10 days before they fledge and then about 5 days after that, the parents leave the nest to start their migration.
Everyone who lives in the area has adopted the hawklet and they all have the phone number of ARK Wildlife. The idea is that the hawklet could be captured and ARK would take over feeding and training, like teaching the hawklet how to catch small mammals.
Interesting interview with David Hancock. Christian Sasse will be back at the nest on July 5th or 6th and the hawklet might still be in the area.

"This is a nest occupied by 3 eaglets and 1 baby hawk, the eaglets are about 10 weeks old, the baby hawk about 4 weeks old. Amazingly the hawk is doing well with its 3 huge siblings! How did the hawk get into the nest? According to David Hancock, Eagle Biologist, likely mama hawk was involved in a fight with an eagle, lost, brought to the nest and laid an egg as it died. Since there were already eggs in the nest, the eagles incubated all eggs and treat the baby hawk as an eagle!"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rurXi3nDcD4
Update: Just watched the live-streamed update. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rurXi3nDcD4
Briefly, hawklet is doing great after fledging and has made it back to the nest to be fed. Eaglets have another 10 days before they fledge and then about 5 days after that, the parents leave the nest to start their migration.
Everyone who lives in the area has adopted the hawklet and they all have the phone number of ARK Wildlife. The idea is that the hawklet could be captured and ARK would take over feeding and training, like teaching the hawklet how to catch small mammals.
Interesting interview with David Hancock. Christian Sasse will be back at the nest on July 5th or 6th and the hawklet might still be in the area.

"This is a nest occupied by 3 eaglets and 1 baby hawk, the eaglets are about 10 weeks old, the baby hawk about 4 weeks old. Amazingly the hawk is doing well with its 3 huge siblings! How did the hawk get into the nest? According to David Hancock, Eagle Biologist, likely mama hawk was involved in a fight with an eagle, lost, brought to the nest and laid an egg as it died. Since there were already eggs in the nest, the eagles incubated all eggs and treat the baby hawk as an eagle!"

Update: Exciting Update - Hawk fledged at Eagle nest, Sidney BC (live YouTube broadcast)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rurXi3nDcD4
Update: Just watched the live-streamed update. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rurXi3nDcD4
Briefly, hawklet is doing great after fledging and has made it back to the nest to be fed. Eaglets have another 10 days before they fledge and then about 5 days after that, the parents leave the nest to start their migration.
Everyone who lives in the area has adopted the hawklet and they all have the phone number of ARK Wildlife. The idea is that the hawklet could be captured and ARK would take over feeding and training, like teaching the hawklet how to catch small mammals.
Interesting interview with David Hancock. Christian Sasse will be back at the nest on July 5th or 6th and the hawklet might still be in the area.

A hawk flew into a taxi cab as Hurricane Harvey barreled towards Texas.
August 26, 2017 - William Bruso was picking up supplies when he found the bird 'looking scared' as the animal sat with its wings tucked close to its side sitting in the car's passenger seat.
He named it Harvey the Hurricane Hawk and said: 'He just kind of hopped on in and doesn't want to leave. He seems to be scared. He doesn't know what's going on.'
Bruso brought the hawk home with him and continued to post videos with his new friend, but handed the bird over to the Texas Wildlife Rescue Center on Saturday.

House lawmakers weigh lifting gun restrictions
http://www.staradvertiser.com/2017/09/30/nyt/house-lawmakers-weigh-lifting-gun-restrictions/
Quote: "On a broad basis, the 144-page bill seeks to loosen restrictions on hunting and shooting on public lands. It would, for example, reverse an Obama administration ban on lead tackle and ammunition from most federal lands; amend the Migratory Bird Treaty Act to allow shooting of birds over unharvested cropland; ease fishing restrictions in marine sanctuaries; remove Endangered Species Act protections for Great Lakes gray wolves; and ban the purchase of new wetland and bird habitat."

Quote: "Eliminates Regulations that Impede Outdoor Sporting Activities: Permanently exempts
ammunition and fishing tackle from EPA regulation under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) and
prevents the regulation of ammunition and fishing tackle based on lead count. These regulations would
drastically increase the price of ammunition and fishing tackle which would significantly deter outdoor
sporting activities. There are no reasonable alternatives to traditional ammunition or fishing tackle."

House lawmakers weigh lifting gun restrictions
http://www.staradvertiser.com/2017/09/30/nyt/house-lawmakers-weigh-lifting-gun-restrictions/
Quote: "On a broad basis, the 144-page bill seeks to loosen restrictions on hunting and shooting on public lands. It would, for example, reverse an Obama administration ban on lead tackle and ammunition from most federal lands; amend the Migratory Bird Treaty Act to allow shooting of birds over unharvested cropland; ease fishing restrictions in marine sanctuaries; remove Endangered Species Act protections for Great Lakes gray wolves; and ban the purchase of new wetland and bird habitat."

S.1941 - A bill to amend the Migratory Bird Treaty Act to clarify the treatment of authentic Alaska Native articles of handicraft containing nonedible migratory bird parts, and for other purposes.
https://www.congress.gov/bill/115th-congress/senate-bill/1941?r=17
Note: The original bill was passed a few years ago, I believe, and several amendments have been proposed since then, including March, 2016. Hated it when it was first proposed because it allows crafts made with bald eagle parts to be sold and wasn't too particular about how the eagle "parts" were acquired.

S.1941 - A bill to amend the Migratory Bird Treaty Act to clarify the treatment of authentic Alaska Native articles of handicraft containing nonedible migratory bird parts, and for other purposes.
https://www.congress.gov/bill/115th-congress/senate-bill/1941?r=17
Note: The original bill was passed a few years ago, I believe, and several amendments have been proposed since then, including March, 2016. Hated it when it was first proposed because it allows crafts made with bald eagle parts to be sold and wasn't too particular about how the eagle "parts" were acquired.

S.1941 - A bill to amend the Migratory Bird Treaty Act to clarify the treatment of authentic Alaska Native articles of handicraft containing nonedible migratory bird parts, and for other purposes.
https://www.congress.gov/bill/115th-congress/senate-bill/1941?r=17
Note: The original bill was passed a few years ago, I believe, and several amendments have been proposed since then, including March, 2016. Hated it when it was first proposed because it allows crafts made with bald eagle parts to be sold and wasn't too particular about how the eagle "parts" were acquired.
More: H.R.4069 - To amend the Migratory Bird Treaty Act to clarify the treatment of authentic Alaska Native articles of handicraft containing nonedible migratory bird parts, and for other purposes.
https://www.congress.gov/bill/115th-congress/house-bill/4069/text?r=1

I've always wondered: why don't chickens look down when they scratch?

Quote: "As birds can see ultraviolet light, that means that when a bird looks at another bird, they don't see what we see.
In fact, a study of 312 bird species in 142 families showed that all bird families have ultraviolet feathers. Even more interestingly, male and female birds that look the same to us look very different under ultraviolet light - so birds can often tell another bird's gender when we can't."

'On life support:' Research shows common pesticides starve, disorient birds
http://nationalpost.com/pmn/news-pmn/canada-news-pmn/on-life-support-research-shows-common-pesticides-starve-disorient-birds
(https://nationalpostcom.files.wordpress.com/2017/11/cpt148-the-canadian-press.jpg)
A white crested sparrow is seen in this undated handout photo. Research suggests that two of Canada's most commonly used pesticides cause migrating songbirds to lose both weight and their sense of direction. THE CANADIAN PRESS/HO, University of Saskatchewan *MANDATORY CREDIT*
Paper: Imidacloprid and chlorpyrifos insecticides impair migratory ability in a seed-eating songbird
https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-017-15446-x.epdf
Quotes:
"These results suggest that wild songbirds consuming the equivalent of just four imidacloprid-treated canola seeds or eight chlorpyrifos granules per day over 3 days could suffer impaired condition, migration delays and improper migratory direction, which could lead to increased risk of mortality or lost breeding opportunity."
"Declines in migratory bird populations have been linked to a range of complex factors, including the large-scale application of agricultural pesticides."
"Birds that utilize agricultural landscapes may be exposed to insecticides through consumption of treated seeds, granules, or sprayed soils and prey items. Small migratory songbirds that regularly use farmland habitats as a stopover and refuelling source may be particularly susceptible to exposure and the negative effects of neurotoxic insecticides."
"Organophosphates and neonicotinoids have effects on survival, as well as sublethal neurophysiological and behavioural effects in birds, including impaired thermoregulation and food consumption."

'On life support:' Research shows common pesticides starve, disorient birds

(https://nationalpostcom.files.wordpress.com/2017/11/cpt148-the-canadian-press.jpg)
A white crested sparrow is seen in this undated handout photo. Research suggests that two of Canada's most commonly used pesticides cause migrating songbirds to lose both weight and their sense of direction. THE CANADIAN PRESS/HO, University of Saskatchewan *MANDATORY CREDIT*
Paper: Imidacloprid and chlorpyrifos insecticides impair migratory ability in a seed-eating songbird
https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-017-15446-x.epdf
Quotes:
"These results suggest that wild songbirds consuming the equivalent of just four imidacloprid-treated canola seeds or eight chlorpyrifos granules per day over 3 days could suffer impaired condition, migration delays and improper migratory direction, which could lead to increased risk of mortality or lost breeding opportunity."
"Declines in migratory bird populations have been linked to a range of complex factors, including the large-scale application of agricultural pesticides."
"Birds that utilize agricultural landscapes may be exposed to insecticides through consumption of treated seeds, granules, or sprayed soils and prey items. Small migratory songbirds that regularly use farmland habitats as a stopover and refuelling source may be particularly susceptible to exposure and the negative effects of neurotoxic insecticides."
"Organophosphates and neonicotinoids have effects on survival, as well as sublethal neurophysiological and behavioural effects in birds, including impaired thermoregulation and food consumption."

The USFWS's mitigation planning goal is to improve (i.e., a net gain) or, at minimum, to maintain (i.e., no net loss) the current status of affected resources. This document announces the Service's intent to solicit additional input regarding whether to retain or remove net conservation gain as a mitigation planning goal within our mitigation policies (e.g., eagle take permits, wind/solar farm site planning, listing wildlife under the Endangered Species Act, etc.).
The current regulation contains the "net conservation" goal and was promulgated during the Obama administration. In March 2017, the Trump administration revoked Obama's memorandum (that resulted in the Service-wide mitigation policy and its net conservation goal) to better balance conservation strategies and policies with job creation for American families. USFSW is basically proposing to eliminate the net conservation gain goal. Your comments are needed! See the link below for details.
U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Requests Public Input on Mitigation Policies
U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is requesting public comment on portions of its Mitigation Policy and Endangered Species Act Compensatory Mitigation Policy, specifically on the policies' mitigation planning goals, to help ensure that the policies are consistent, effective, and transparent. These policies provide direction to Service employees on how to develop mitigation recommendations to offset the impacts of development activities on species or their habitats. Based on comments received, the Service will decide whether and how to revise the policies.
View the Federal Register notice (below) for more information and to submit comments. Comments must be received on or before January 5, 2018.

From RRP's FB page:
Raptor Resource Project
11/30/17
Bird kills, no 30-year take permit required! An amendment from the House Committee on Natural Resources to House Energy Bill H.R. 4239 effectively guts the Migratory Bird Treaty Act by absolving oil and gas companies from responsibility for bird deaths in oil pits, on power lines, and from other energy-related infrastructure, including wind power projects. Remember how upset everyone was about the 30-year turbine-related take proposal? This is much worse. Phone your representative and add your voice to Audubon and the American Bird Conservancy's protests. For links and more information, check the blog: http://bit.ly/2njVQb0. Please respond and share widely!
I included this picture of Bob with Four who, like D14, D12, and Indy, was electrocuted by a power line. He would be livid.

Quote: "The Ojai Raptor Center, a wildlife rehabilitation facility north of Ventura that specializes in birds of prey, released 14 birds shortly before the mandatory evacuation order came with the approach of the Thomas Fire this week, director Kimberly Stroud told CNN.
'We just turned them loose,' she said. 'Their best possibility of survival is to be released and fly away.'"

Winter weather affects birds, too (interesting)
http://www.heraldcourier.com/community/winter-weather-affects-birds-too/article_322a861e-d9cd-11e7-9061-bf0fcb71edf3.html
(https://bloximages.newyork1.vip.townnews.com/heraldcourier.com/content/tncms/assets/v3/editorial/b/cf/bcfcdd14-d9cd-11e7-89b2-c7ce98005254/5a26b61d4395b.image.jpg)
Winter weather with its snow and ice can often have a major impact on birds. For instance, if inclement weather forces a common loon to land on a small body of water, such as a pond, the bird may not be able to take flight again. Loons need to run for a long distance over the water's surface in order to take flight.

Boulder photographer Dana Bove captured images of a breeding pair of bald eagles in their nest near Stearns Lake in Boulder County. The eagles are the focus of a lawsuit filed Wednesday against the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the Department of Interior asking a federal judge to block a permit issued last week to allow new housing to be built north of Flatiron Crossing mall in Broomfield.

Boulder photographer Dana Bove captured images of a breeding pair of bald eagles in their nest near Stearns Lake in Boulder County. The eagles are the focus of a lawsuit filed Wednesday against the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the Department of Interior asking a federal judge to block a permit issued last week to allow new housing to be built north of Flatiron Crossing mall in Broomfield.

A mated pair of bald eagles in trees about a half mile west of their nest in the Bulrush Wetlands Park in Frederick in December 2017. In the background are the beginnings of a structure used to contain noise from oil and gas operations that were permitted 50 to 60 meters from wildlife habitat just north of Colorado 52 near Weld County Road 5.

http://www.timescall.com/longmont-local-news/ci_31656138/researches-want-more-protections-from-drilling-bald-eagles
Quote: "In his research, Bove said he has found that there are 10 times fewer nesting bald eagles in Colorado than in coastal states. He said there have been no new successful bald eagle nests in Boulder County or western Weld County since 2014, which he believes shows that habitat loss is rampant."

'Roads are good for eagles in another way. Bare roads hold a bit more heat than the surrounding snow-covered woods or fields. "You don't need to have much temperature difference to get a thermal - rising air current - over a road, even if it's 20 below. That holds them aloft. It's very convenient. They can be circling above highways looking for road kill."'

Northwest Iowa bald eagles rehabilitating from lead poisoning after rescues

A bald eagle, nicknamed "Warrior" because it was recovered using a Warrior snowmobile, is rehabilitating from lead poisoning at Saving Our Avian Resources in Manning, Iowa. The eagle was recovered by Alex Lynott after being found on the ice of the Big Sioux River near Hudson, South Dakota. It's the fourth eagle she has taken part in rescuing in the past two weeks, and the third that is likely to have sustained significant lead poisoning.

A bald eagle found on the side of a highway near Ashton, Iowa, on March 8 was found to have high levels of lead in its blood, along with nerve damage. After receiving treatment at SOAR in Manning, Iowa, the bird had to be euthanized.

It's a record I'm not proud of. Three Bald Eagle rescues in less than two weeks. Two have come back with off the chart levels of lead in their blood and the third has a very ugly wing break with a small amount of lead in her system as well.
SIOUX COUNTY. Warrior, the Eagle from near Hudson on the Big Sioux River, continues to fight for his life and battle vision issues. His blood lead levels were off the charts and he was suffering severe seizures and convulsions. He's being treated and has shown some improvement, the seizures have stopped, but his vision limits him.
PLYMOUTH COUNTY. The female Remsen Bald Eagle has a very nasty radius and ulna fracture. Her lead levels came back at 0.092ppm which is low enough that it's not the main concern. However, this level should read 0.00ppm EVERY eagle admit. Kay wrapped her wing up and now she will recover in her own crate. A veterinarian will be taking a look at and realigning her bones under anesthesia.
LYON COUNTY. Last night was one heck of an adventure on the Rock River near Doon. Thank goodness for the Doon Boys, Travis Jansen, Ryan LeLoux, and Jacob LeLoux, for calling in the Eagle they came across while riding the river. They were amazing help capturing this giant female and were extremely patient while navigating Sarah Davelaar, Troy Davelaar, and myself to a specific spot on the Rock River, at night, in a blizzard. I had to knock on homeowner's doors asking if I was in the right place, only to be invited in and offered something to drink while I explain my mission. I love the Midwest! I promised one family with two little boys that if we caught the Eagle, we'd return so they could see it. This giant female, 11lbs 14oz, was left grounded, because of LEAD POISONING. Kay walked me through the steps of testing Bald Eagles' lead levels only to have results that were again, off the charts like Warrior. Only, this case breaks my heart even worse... This giant female is in Iowa putting on weight, only so she can return to Canada and lay eggs. She can't very well continue her journey with a poison in her body and she will not be meeting her mate at their nesting site this year to raise young together. I gave the Doon Boys my prediction of lead poisoning and expressed the importance of COPPER AMMUNITION. It's so *explicit* easy!!!
If you see these fine young Doon-Boys, thank them and ask them about the rescue!
We did return to the house with the younger boys and received a very generous "thank you" card for rescuing the Eagle. What amazing and fine young men!
Kay once admitted a Bald Eagle from the Mississippi River that had NINE #6 shot BB's in its digestive tract after it consumed a dead pheasant that had been shot with TOXIC ammunition.
The moral of the story is the same as always, SWITCH AMMUNITION. GET THE LEAD OUT. USE COPPER SLUGS AND NONTOXIC SHOT. BEFORE I LOSE MY MIND. THIS IS NOT A POLITICAL ISSUE.

Bald eagles nest in Cleveland for first time in a century (map)

(http://image.cleveland.com/home/cleve-media/width600/img/plain_dealer_metro/photo/cuyahoga-bald-eagle-nest-029aeb56cec9186d.jpg)
Fifty years after the Cuyahoga River fire, a bald eagle rests in its nest Tuesday on the Cuyahoga riverbank, the first nest in Cleveland in more than a century. The nest was constructed by an eagle pair this winter in a cottonwood tree in the Ohio & Erie Canal Reservation and amid Cleveland's gritty industrial valley. It is about one mile south of Harvard Ave. and close to the Jennings Freeway. Until trees leaf out this spring, the nest is visible from the Ohio & Erie Canal Towpath. As of Tuesday, the pair had not produced eggs yet. (Karen Lakus/Cleveland Metroparks)(Karen Lakus)

Federally threatened plovers nest on open sand along Oregon's beaches. "Nests, and especially chicks, are well-camouflaged," according to Oregon State Parks. "During nesting season, human disturbances can flush adult plovers away from their nests as they attempt to defend their young from the perceived predator. Left alone too long, eggs or chicks can die from exposure, predators or people." (Photo by Adam Kotaich)

https://phys.org/news/2018-03-bird-populations-french-countryside-collapsing.html?utm_source=nwletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=daily-nwletter
Quote: "The culprit, researchers speculate, is the intensive use of pesticides on vast tracts of monoculture crops, especially wheat and corn. The problem is not that birds are being poisoned, but that the insects on which they depend for food have disappeared."

PHOTO BY GARRY BRANDENBURG A Bald Eagle goes about its duty of keeping its eagle eggs warm in this nest adjacent to the Iowa River. This nest is an addition to other known, active and inactive, eagle nests in Marshall County. It is thought that at least eight, maybe a few more, active eagle nests can be verified locally. The success of Bald Eagles is an amazing comeback from critical conditions only three decades ago. It does take time for any species to recover. It helps that this bird can and does adapt given favorable opportunity.

From SOAR's FB page (the video features the Decorah eagles!)
SOAR - Saving Our Avian Resources shared HEART the Wild's video.

HEART the Wild
3 hrs
Five years ago, my hands were scrubbing Bald Eagle poop off of enclosure walls for Saving Our Avian Resources. I barely knew Kay then as a young college student trying to find myself. Now, my hands are rescuing Bald Eagles for her and, at times, assisting her with Bald Eagle treatments. In two days, my hands will be holding a shaking microphone as I introduce my mentor to my very own hometown. Today, I was privileged to be in the same news segment as her. Scrubbing Bald Eagle poop to now fighting alongside Kay and those of SOAR against lead ammunition. Wow. I get chills thinking about the future.

Peregrine falcons maneuver best when dive-bombing at more than 300 kilometers per hour (very interesting & with a video because, you know, math!)
http://www.sciencemag.org/news/2018/04/peregrine-falcons-maneuver-best-when-dive-bombing-more-300-kilometers-hour?utm_campaign=news_daily_2018-04-12&et_rid=213094054&et_cid=1969675
Paper: Physics-based simulations of aerial attacks by peregrine falcons reveal that stooping at high speed maximizes catch success against agile prey
http://journals.plos.org/ploscompbiol/article?id=10.1371/journal.pcbi.1006044
(http://journals.plos.org/ploscompbiol/article/figure/image?size=large&id=10.1371/journal.pcbi.1006044.g003)
Flight performance graphs in the flight simulator for the peregrine falcon (dark blue) and the common starling (light blue).
The double arrows denote the direction of acceleration displayed in the graph. The starling is able to outmaneuver the falcon at a given airspeed, if there exists a region under the curve of the starling that is not overlapping with that of the falcon. (a) Level acceleration versus air speed: level flight with the requirement that lift equals weight. Dashed lines denote the speed wherein torque forces constrain the maximum acceleration (mechanical constraints). Top level flight speed is reached at the point where level acceleration is zero. (b) Vertical dive acceleration (including gravity) versus air speed. At the end of the dashed lines, flapping is substituted by gliding with retracted wings in order to maximize vertical acceleration. (c) Load factor versus air speed. The load factor is defined as lift divided by weight. The maximum load factor does not scale quadratically with forward speed due to constraints in torque forces [11]. Instead, wings are retracted optimally to increase maximum load. (d) Roll acceleration versus air speed. Roll acceleration determines the speed with which the bird can redirect its lift and is calculated by estimating the whole-body inertia around the roll-axis and the maximum net torque production [11]. (e) Turning radius is calculated as the square of air speed divided by the maximum normal acceleration.

SOAR needs mice to feed all the raptor patients admitted due to gnats.
From SOAR's FB page:
SOAR - Saving Our Avian Resources
May 29 at 4:08pm
~ We do not like heat and gnats ~
From 22 May to 1:30p 29 May... 22 hatch-year (HY) 2018 raptors admitted from across central Iowa! It was noted by rescuers that several of the young birds had gnats on them at rescue! These hatchlings are dehydrated and thin to emaciated.
2 HY18 great horned owls
13 HY18 screech owls
3 HY18 barred owls
1 HY18 bald eagle
This unusual heat and humidity (and not always strong winds) have contributed to a bump-up in the gnat population. These gnats seem to be especially attracted to birds, and young birds are easily impacted. We've read reports of young chickens dying in the last week... and then there is the loss of the two eaglets at the Decorah North Nest. We suspect our admits bailed from the nest...
On a side note, we humans are bothered very little by these gnats and the SOAR team's collection of mammals don't seem to be greatly bothered either (dogs, horses, mule, cats).

Thirteen (13) more hatch-year raptors were admitted since the post mid-day on 29 May. Since 22 May that is 35 hatch-year raptors admitted. Have a good picture of bite marks from the black flies (AKA buffalo gnats) and will try to post that soon with more info...
Right now I need to check on everyone here and get evening chores done! ~Linette

~ Now we need mice! ~
Kay texted this pic (yes, not the best quality, but...) this morning and said, "Getting more rats in the freezer to feed patients is extremely helpful!" Thank you to everyone that helped put rats in raptor tummies.
The hatch-year raptor count at SOAR keeps growing and since just 22 May alone (i.e. there were hatch-year birds admitted before then) we have 2 great horned owls, 7 red-tailed hawks, 1 kestrel, 18 screech owls, 2 eagles, and 5 barred owls. I also know that more not in this count are being transported to SOAR tomorrow and this weekend... YIKES!
Do you know that a screech owl and a kestrel can eat one mouse a day? The owls and hawks can each eat 4-5 mice each day! While we have food on hand... this is an unexpected surge in our numbers!
Our preferred supplier is RodentPro and this company has a flat-rate shipping of $29 per box... so it's a better deal to "fill the box." 600 large dark mice fill one box and that totals to $479! From the rat / grocery request and then the order I placed (to be shipped next week) I have $43 left and then another 'grocery' donation of $50 came in after that order to get us started toward a box of mice!
I know we ask much of our friends and supporters, but this need is here, now. Can you help us feed these hatch-year birds? PayPal with a note that your donation is for "groceries" or you can purchase a gift certificate from: http://www.rodentpro.com/catalog_certs.asp
I'll take care of the ordering! Thank you friends.

Kay texted this pic (yes, not the best quality, but...) this morning and said, "Getting more rats in the freezer to feed patients is extremely helpful!" Thank you to everyone that helped put rats in raptor tummies.
The hatch-year raptor count at SOAR keeps growing and since just 22 May alone (i.e. there were hatch-year birds admitted before then) we have 2 great horned owls, 7 red-tailed hawks, 1 kestrel, 18 screech owls, 2 eagles, and 5 barred owls. I also know that more not in this count are being transported to SOAR tomorrow and this weekend... YIKES!
Do you know that a screech owl and a kestrel can eat one mouse a day? The owls and hawks can each eat 4-5 mice each day! While we have food on hand... this is an unexpected surge in our numbers!
Our preferred supplier is RodentPro and this company has a flat-rate shipping of $29 per box... so it's a better deal to "fill the box." 600 large dark mice fill one box and that totals to $479! From the rat / grocery request and then the order I placed (to be shipped next week) I have $43 left and then another 'grocery' donation of $50 came in after that order to get us started toward a box of mice!
I know we ask much of our friends and supporters, but this need is here, now. Can you help us feed these hatch-year birds? PayPal with a note that your donation is for "groceries" or you can purchase a gift certificate from: http://www.rodentpro.com/catalog_certs.asp
I'll take care of the ordering! Thank you friends.

Al Cecere retires from American Eagle Foundation
https://www.wbir.com/video/news/local/five-at-four/al-cecere-retires-from-american-eagle-foundation/51-8124242
From Al's FB page:
Al Cecere
May 10
After 37 years of helping to save, protect and recover America's eagles and other birds of prey, I am now retired from the day to day activities of the American Eagle Foundation, which I was led to found in 1985, as well as the national Save The Eagle Campaign in 1983.
A lot of past blood, sweat, sacrifice and tears to say the least. But worth every minute.
I may possibly continue to serve on the AEF's Board of Directors, but, if not, I wish the American Eagle Foundation's Board and staff much success for the future. I am no longer President.
The past 37 years has certainly been a wonderful life with many special memories and opportunities.
Thankyou dear God and those who have supported
my efforts and struggles for so many precious years and allowing me the blessed opportunity to reach for the stars.
I just turned 70.
There is always a time for everything under the Sun
and God's Plan for our life.
God bless.
Al Cecere
Yesterday at 1:20pm
I received a wonderful retirement gift/surprise by Fed Ex today. Thank you very much to all my volunteer Cam Moderator friends with the North East Florida Eagle Nest. I love the new custom chair/bench you had made for me. It's very special and nicely crafted and carved. All of you are so thoughtful and kind. I will certainly enjoy the Mountain View sitting upon it whenever I can...maybe even when I'm writing my book (lol). Creating and developing the various on-line nest cams for all of you and millions of others to enjoy was one of my most favorite and inspiring projects to envision, initiate, plan and develop for public education purposes. Now I can enjoy the cams myself more often, as much as you all do.
Love and best wishes,
Al

Lost at Sea: Why the Birds You Don't See Are Fading Away
https://www.nationalgeographic.com/magazine/2018/07/seabird-crisis-conservation-birds-oceans/?beta=true
(https://www.nationalgeographic.com/content/dam/magazine/rights-exempt/2018/07/seabird-crisis/seabird-crisis-loss-sea-ocean-10.adapt.676.1.jpg?beta=true)
In Peru's Lobos de Afuera Islands, a century of loss from guano harvesting, overfishing, and-recently-climate change lies between a 1907 photograph of a Peruvian pelican breeding colony and the landscape of littered bones on the same spot in 2017. Starvation, coupled with El Ni?o rains, likely killed most of the chicks in the preceding breeding season.

A snail kite in Rotenberger Wildlife Management Area Wednesday, June 27, 2018. "Rotenberger has been one of the best areas for snail kite nesting this year," said Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission Snail Kite Conservation Coordinator Tyler Beck. "Droughts aren't great for snail kite nesting, and we had a pretty bad drought last year. We went into this season with much more water. This area has been helped out with some habitat restoration work, a wildfire that we had last year, and then all the rain we had." (Bruce R. Bennett / The Palm Beach Post)

Category: Professional
Photographer: Cindy Goeddel
Species: Mallard and bobcat
Location: Yellowstone National Park
Story Behind the Shot: Goeddel huddled in a snow pit for nearly five hours on a zero-degree day to get this dramatic photo. When a bobcat spotted a drake Mallard downstream, it used a bison trail through the deep snow to stalk unseen along the Madison River to within striking distance. For nine interminable minutes the predator watched the duck swimming in circles, seemingly waiting for the right moment to make its move. Finally, when the Mallard's head was down, the cat leapt. After nearly a minute-long struggle in the water, the bobcat carried away its prey.

Whooping Crane shootings - what we know and why it matters

(https://www.savingcranes.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/number_of_whooping_crane_shooting_cases_600.jpg)
The number of Whooping Crane shootings has increased since reintroduction efforts began in the 1990s. Detectability of shooting incidents is likely higher in the reintroduced populations since they are more heavily monitored than the Aransas-Wood Buffalo population. Explanation of abbreviations: LNMP = Louisiana Non-Migratory Population, FNMP = Florida Non-Migratory Population, EMP = Eastern Migratory Population, AWBP = Aransas-Wood Buffalo Population.

Note: This article startled me, so I researched it over a couple of hours. While it sounds sleazy and like an abuse of the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act, this facility apparently obtained the eagle exhibition pictured in the article legally. Of course I don't know if they obtained an exhibition permit, how long they had to wait (the FWS estimates a 2-year wait for Native Americans to receive a whole bird from the National Eagle Repository), or just how this New Jersey representative assisted them in "securing an American Bald Eagle from the National Wildlife Property Repository," which is not the same entity but in the same location as the National Eagle Repository. I suppose it's possible the Property Repository had a confiscated, stuffed eagle lying around and "donated" or loaned it to the facility. The facility also seems to meet the definitions of a facility eligible to receive a whole eagle body, even though a Google search brings up lots of images of the place being used for weddings and not education. I don't think the arboretum received the eagle from the National Eagle Repository or jumped over others waiting in line for a whole eagle body. But I was certainly surprised to learn that someone other than a Native American could possess a bald eagle body! ~T40

The Eagle has eaten
A large meal increases the weight of Eagle
Just as a pilot must track and balance weight on an airplane, so do birds. Their flight is dependent on a healthy weight and incredible physical fitness. It does not take much weight to throw off their optimal weight and balance for flight.
Extra weight creates added difficulty to resume flight and return to cover
A large meal can weigh down a bird considerably. Not only does the added weight from a big meal make flying harder, it also lessens their incentive for flight. Already satiated, their will and attitude to work for food drops.
The Eagle has launched
Please slow down as a large, heavy Eagle needs time and distance to get off the road
If you see birds, even smaller ones in the road, it is a good idea to slow down. If there are many birds eating roadkill, it may not be possible to see an eagle among them until it is too late.
Unlike smaller birds, Eagles cannot dart away from vehicles.
For those in urban areas, you may be used to just driving along with birds in front of you in the road because most smaller ones are able to get out of the way. Small birds with small wing spans can flap away quickly. A Eagle and some other larger birds cannot. While driving in wildlife areas, please keep an eye out for objects in the road and slow down in order to better evaluate the situation and act accordingly.

In this Saturday, Nov. 10, 2018 photo, Renkey Humtsoi, 48, hunter-turned-conservationist, rows a boat as he keeps a vigil over roosting Amur Falcons at Doyang reservoir near Pangti village, in the northeastern Indian state of Nagaland.

Many species of birds fly long distances to avoid the cold weather and poor food availability in the higher latitudes in winter. They fly towards the equator and spend the winter in warmer climates. On the approach of summer, they fly back to the countries they came from, to make use of the longer days there to get access to food and breed. So bird migration is seasonal and India too sees huge numbers arrive every year.

Saving a remote island's birds--by getting rid of its mice
https://www.nationalgeographic.com/animals/2018/12/eradicating-mice-to-save-birds-on-remote-marion-island/
(https://www.nationalgeographic.com/content/dam/animals/2018/12/albatross-marion-island/01-albatross-nesting-marion-peschak.adapt.133.1.jpg)
A scalped gray-headed albatross chick on sub-Antarctic Marion Island gruesomely conveys the threat seabirds face from invasive species. For reasons not entirely understood, mice brought to the island by sealers 200 years ago have begun feeding on birds at night. With no instinctual fear of this new danger, a bird will sit passively while mice nibble into its flesh, until it succumbs days later.

Turning back the pages: Headlines from 25 and 50 years ago
https://www.dl-online.com/community/history/4542799-turning-back-pages-headlines-25-and-50-years-ago
50 Years Ago
"Editorial Short-Shorts: With man apparently determined to destroy nearly all forms of wildlife, an encouraging report came from the Interior Department the other day when it took the trumpeter swan off its list of rare and endangered species... An energetic effort is being made to build up the whooping crane population and we sincerely hope that the whooper doesn't meet the fate of the passenger pigeon, dodo bird, etc. In view of these events, it;s the opinion of this writer that state and national officials will soon be forced into closing seasons on ducks, pheasants, etc., or face the fact that future generations will never know the thrill of seeing these birds in their native habitat."

From our friends at PEF!
Philippine Eagle Foundation (Official)

This is Pag-asa and his keeper Manong Eddie. These two have been together for so long, in fact, ever since Pag-asa was hatched in 1992! He's seen Pag-asa in every stage of his life, from a struggling chick to an adult producing his first eaglet. Pag-asa's first and only offspring to date is also a product of Cooperative Artificial Insemination much like himself.
CAI is a long and tricky process. Manong Eddie had to try many times before Pag-asa could produce enough semen for insemination. Aside from Manong Eddie constantly bonding with Pag-asa in his enclosure and offering him nesting materials to stimulate him to copulate, he also needed to collect semen at the right time when the female eagle under his care is ready for insemination.
Breeding Philippine Eagles in captivity is a long and difficult journey but is an important part in conserving the species. Pag-asa's existence is a constant reminder that it CAN and should be done in order to give this rare and majestic species a fighting chance for survival.
Donate to www.philippineeaglefoundation.org/saving-eagles-campaign to support our captive breeding efforts!

Bald eagle rescued from tree, treated, rehabbed & released in Tampa Bay.
https://www.facebook.com/pg/Owls-Nest-Sanctuary-for-Wildlife-320875748102069/posts/
Owl's Nest Sanctuary for Wildlife
Sunday night (Jan. 6) we received a call about two bald eagles that had been in a territory battle and while spinning down fell into a tree and were now stuck. Several of our experienced eagle rescuers were dispatched and when they arrived both birds were still hanging upside down about 15 feet high in the tree.
Understanding eagle behavior and the situation overhead we knew that there was a strong possibility that once we made our first move the situation would evolve quickly as the eagles would switch from being focused on each other to being focused on us. Ready to act and tasks assigned the team moved in and immediately the eagles released one another which allowed one to drop just beneath the branch of the tree and strongly soar off. The top eagle however was injured and unable to free itself. Our team continued to move and promptly climbed up to carefully net and remove the injured male. That night we triage and stabilized him. This involved cleaning multiple puncture wounds and providing pain management and antibiotics to prevent infection.
The next morning he made a trip to Busch Gardens Tampa Bay to see the vets. They sutured his deeper wounds and ran x-rays. It was determined that his pain was not only the result of the punctures but also extensive bruising.
He is being transferred to Nature World Wildlife Rescue where he will be able to recuperate in one of their conditioning enclosures for a few days before he is released.
---------------------------------------------
A week ago we responded to the report of two bald eagles stuck in a tree. Once our rescuers responded they found the two eagles latched together and hanging upside down in the tree 15 feet up. As they began to climb the eagles released each other. The bottom eagle dropped down just beneath the canopy and strongly flew off in the distance. The male on top had actually become snared in the tree and would not have been able free himself. Once rescuers were able to get him down they examined him and discovered four puncher wounds in his chest. That night he was treated and stabilized by the team at Owl's Nest Sanctuary for Wildlife. The next day he visited the vets at Busch Gardens Tampa Bay where he received a full exam and stitches. Owl's Nest then transferred him to Nature World Wildlife Rescue in Homosassa where he spent a few days recuperating in their flight conditioning cages. Yesterday the eagle made its journey back to Owl's Nest who were able to take it back to Plant City for release. Here are the images and video from the release.

A sticky situation: Austin Wildlife Rescue sends warning on glue traps after rescuing owl

Austin Wildlife Rescue
January 20
This Barred Owl arrived at our intake center stuck on a glue trap. He was chasing a mouse that got stuck on the trap and ended up with his feathers stuck as well. We were able to free him of the glue trap and have been using Dawn baths to get the excess glue off.
Please keep in mind that glue traps are never a good option! They result in animals' pain and suffering and do not solve your problem. There are other more humane options, please call us if you need suggestions!

If you don't have access to The New York Times, here's a quote!
"At this very minute, all across the web, hundreds of thousands of people are watching wildlife cameras trained on eagles' nests. Since 2007, a pair of bald eagles in Decorah, Iowa, has reliably produced three eggs a year and raised their eaglets under the watchful eyes of anyone with a modem -- more than 370 million viewers so far. When tragedy struck last year -- the male disappeared without a trace, leaving the female to raise their chicks alone -- the Raptor Resource Project, which maintains the camera, held a Facebook memorial service for the beloved bird. (The female has taken a new mate this year and is laying eggs again.)"

A tenacious bald eagle in Frederick illustrates wildlife's fight to survive along Colorado's increasingly developed Front Range
https://www.denverpost.com/2019/03/10/colorado-bald-eagles-wildlife-habitat/
(https://i1.wp.com/www.denverpost.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/BALD-EAGLES_1HR4072.jpg?fit=1040&ssl=1)
A bald eagle takes off from its perch as a new housing development creeps closer to the cottonwood trees where its nest is tucked away on Boulder County open space on Feb. 26, 2019, in Broomfield. Federal law protects eagles, but as human development encroaches on nests along the Front Range, wildlife experts say local land use decision-making will be key to their survival. The pair of bald eagles nest year round.

A train rolls by a sign that warns passersby to stay out of open space where a pair of bald eagles are nesting in a large cottonwood tree, seen in between the cars of the train, on Boulder County open space on Feb. 20, 2019, in Broomfield. Increased development of land is putting pressure on the bald eagle, which is a protected species in the United States, and other wildlife.

For Jasper Doest, part of the appeal of photographing Bob's life with his cousin was images like these, where a bright pink American Flamingo sticks out of a mundane human situation like a sore thumb. "I don?t really like to take images where nature is being made fun of," he says. "It's really funny to see a flamingo in a car, of course, but there's a deeper meaning in those images."

Ospreys have made their homes on many platforms around the Three Lakes region in Grand County, but it was Kent Roorda whose admiration of the creatures led him to set up a high-definition live feed to capture the birds' activity that the public rarely sees. The birds currently have three eggs waiting to hatch, expected sometime around June 1. There are two ospreys, a male and female, who occupy the nest, stationed on a platform constructed by Roorda at his home near Grand Lake.

Raptor Resource Project
10 mins
Thanks from RRP Director John Howe!
It's time to reflect on the past several weeks and the series of events that happened after our eaglets left their nests early. Now that all three eaglets have been found and are getting the care they need, we wanted to thank the people who generously donated their time and effort to make the rescue of D32, D33, and DN9 possible.
We'd like to start with a big "Thank you!" to followers and fans for the support, assistance, and positive energy that kept volunteers going during a very stressful and critical time. To the rescue team - we can't thank you enough for generously donating your time and effort to make the rescue of all three eaglets possible. Without your help coordinating activities, watching, searching, recovering, and providing transportation, the eaglets would never have gotten where they needed to go. And we want to give a very special thanks to William Hahn and Andrew Olson, the young Decorah fisherman who found D32 while walking and fishing the creek, and to Garin Minser, the Iowa State student who helped William and Andrew get D32 to the hatchery. In addition to William, Andrew, and Garin, the rescue and care teams included:

From SOAR's website:
Determining Gender in Bald Eagles
By SOAR - Linette, 19 June 2019
As part of ongoing data collection looking at bald eagles and lead exposure in birds admitted to wildlife rehabilitators in Iowa, SOAR started collecting beak depth measurements. A research paper from Garcelon et al (Journal of Wildlife Management 49(3):1985) is the basis for SOAR to use beak depth measurement for a gender determination. The Garcelon paper discussed 12 different measurements taken on bald eagles, but that beak depth showed no overlap in values between the sexes. This is the least invasive way to determine gender. A metric dial caliper is used and the measurement is taken from the top of the upper beak (maxilla) next to the cere to the bottom point on the lower beak (mandible). The paper describes it: "from the dorsal aspect of the maxilla adjacent to the cere, to the ventralmost portion of the mandible." The measurement is expressed in centimeters (cm).

In the bald eagles measured in the Garcelon et al study, male bald eagles had a beak depth range of 3.0 cm to 3.349 cm, while the female bald eagle beak depth ranged from 3.35 cm to 3.6 cm. All the eagles in the study were North Central United States and Canada and should be transferable to bald eagles in Iowa.
Also remember that female bald eagles will weigh more than males and that northern bald eagles are larger than those from the southern U.S.

Watch Live: Grand Lake cam captures majestic ospreys waiting for chicks to hatch

(https://cdn.skyhinews.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/9/2019/06/osprey-cam-feature-image.jpg)
Ospreys have made their homes on many platforms around the Three Lakes region in Grand County, but it was Kent Roorda whose admiration of the creatures led him to set up a high-definition live feed to capture the birds' activity that the public rarely sees. The birds currently have three eggs waiting to hatch, expected sometime around June 1. There are two ospreys, a male and female, who occupy the nest, stationed on a platform constructed by Roorda at his home near Grand Lake.
Update: Grand Lake osprey eggs featured on webcam fail to hatch

Hundreds of thousands of sandhill cranes stop along the Platte River in the midwestern U.S. to rest and refuel on their annual migrations. They often travel at night, so the ACAS system's aim is to help cranes and other birds see power lines and other human structures in the dark, enabling them to safely reach their destinations.

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.

I couldn't find a general discussion on birds, so am posting this here.
Three times in the last week I've been outside very early in the morning, getting ready to leave for appointments for biopsies, 2 MRIs, and a specialist visit. Each time four beautiful Sandhill Cranes were between 6 & 8 ft. away from me, checking the grass for a morning breakfast of worms, but most of the time just standing there. They didn't move away from me (all the other times I've seen them they are strolling, not stopping), and they certainly put a smile on my face & uplifted my spirits & it was such a gift for them to be there. Birds definitely have a healing power to them.
I didn't want to disturb them by taking out my phone to take photos, so this isn't my picture - it's one that someone else in the neighborhood took at an earlier date.

Update: Locals feared dead eagle was shot, but necropsy solves mystery, Calif. officials say

A recent investigation into a bald eagle's death showed that sometimes, not everything is as it seems at first glance.
Since 2017, a pair of bald eagles has nested near Curtner Elementary School in Milpitas. Over the last few months, the nesting pair was observed raising two offspring. The family of raptors were watched by the kids at school and the local community, and have generated quite a bit of social media chatter from local citizens. On July 13, one of the two eaglets was found dead near the nest with an obvious wound in the body cavity, generating speculation that it was poached.
Our Law Enforcement Division's Santa Clara County squad began the investigation and determined there were no reported gunshots in the area. They then sought assistance from the UC Santa Cruz Marine Lab and CDFW's Wildlife Investigations Lab to determine the circumstances of the raptor's death. The UC Santa Cruz lab X-rayed the bird to look for metal bullet fragments; none were detected. The bird was then transferred to the Wildlife Investigations Lab where a full necropsy was completed. Evidence showed that the eagle died by electrocution.
It appears the juvenile eagle was nearly -- but not fully -- developed, and inadvertently flew into a power line. Although unfortunate, such events happen on rare occasions. Consultation with wildlife officers who have conducted similar investigations of raptor deaths, combined with the experience of our lab personnel, helped confirm the telltale entry and exit wounds of a fatal electrocution, thus concluding an investigation that generated intense local public interest. We appreciate the great teamwork that helped solve this mystery.

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.

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.

~ Moving on up! ~
The four hatch-year bald eagles in the 20x60' flight pen have mastered taking food items out of the water, flying, turning, and landing. Next up in their rehabilitation process is to build stamina and social skills.
To accomplish these next tasks, D33, DN9, Allamakee, and Calmar have all moved to the 100' flight pen! As part of the moving process, weights and beak depth measurements were taken again (since they could still be growing!). Both females (D33 and DN9) weigh in at 10 pounds and have a tish more depth to their beaks. There was no change noted for the two males.
The photo shows all four of them up on the far back perch. They are sitting under a skylight panel so they look washed out. Plus close-up photos of three of the four. Somehow Allamakee didn't get his photo taken.
D32 is still rooming with Decorah. He spends much of his time on the padded perch looking out the window and only is seen on the ground for food and a bath. He continues to stretch out that right leg and move the toes. How long will D32 stay in this flight pen? The more he can gently use his right leg and foot, the better. D32 is only 12 weeks post-surgery. That's really not a very long time and is too soon to put flight pressure on that leg. Think of a human who had surgery to stabilize a broken bone, they wouldn't be running 12 weeks post-surgery.

The bobolink is also known as the "rice bird" for its tendency to feed on cultivated grains such as rice. Even the bird's scientific name, oryzivorus, means "rice eating" and refers to this bird's appetite for many of the same grains consumed by humans. This small songbird also undertakes yearly migration flights equaling more than 12,400 miles.

Since my friends and relatives know I follow eagles (literally and figuratively!), they'll send me things that they think will interest me related to eagles. My cousin in Conn. just sent me the two attached pics, which of course made me have to look up info about them. ;D
"Harpy Eagles are among the world's largest and most powerful eagles. Their rear talons are about 3-4 inches long ? the same size as a grizzly bear's claws!"
"The Philippine eagle, also known as the monkey-eating eagle or great Philippine eagle, is an eagle of the family Accipitridae endemic to forests in the Philippines."
This info made me curious as to which eagle was the biggest, and this is what I found:
The World's Largest Eagles:
Haast's Eagle, 300 cm (118 inches)
Steller's Sea Eagle, 250 cm (98.4 inches) ...
White-tailed Eagle, 244 cm (96 inches) ...
Australian Wedge-Tailed Eagle, 230 cm (7.55 inches) ...
Golden Eagle, 220 cm (7.23 inches) ...
Philippine Eagle, 220 cm (86.6 inches) ...
Harpy Eagle, 200 cm (78.7 inches) ...
Martial Eagle, 193 cm (75.8 inches) ...
I wondered why the bald eagle wasn't on the list, so I looked that up also:
"A sea eagle, it has two known subspecies and forms a species pair with the white-tailed eagle."
So if I'm understanding this correctly, the bald eagle would be up near the top of this list by Stellar's Sea Eagle and the White Tailed Eagle.

Thanks, NW. The numbers you quoted are wingspans, which I learned from reading the article the figures came from: https://www.worldatlas.com/articles/the-largest-eagles-in-the-world.html. Wingspan isn't the primary measurement to consider when determining the "largest," because wingspan depends on the eagles' habitats. Well, everything depends on their habitats...
Before reading the source of the info, I was guessing Steller's as #1, maybe tied with Harpy and/or Philippine, and not considering Haast's at all.
That source says the Philippine eagle is the "largest and heaviest known eagle." Haast's eagle is ranked #1 because it was the largest ever known, but is now extinct. It's a little hard to gauge the source's accuracy since they don't define what "large" means. But aren't they all spectacular?!

Thanks for that info T40! I wonder why they still have an extinct eagle on the list? And thanks for noting that those were the wingspans. I was in a hurry with my boss in the office and only had time to post what I was able to. I had seen a video on the Philippine eagle a while back and remembered that their diet consisted of monkeys. Beautiful eagles. And the Harpy eagle looks fearsome!

A young red-eyed vireo peeks out from the foliage. Red-eyed vireos don't get the distinctive red eyes until after their first winter. Though small songbirds such as the vireos and warblers are migrating through the region, this one's clumsy flying raised the possibility it was hatched in the area -- red-eyed vireos are a common nesting species in the Upper Peninsula and Wisconsin.

7 practically prehistoric animals you won't believe still exist
https://www.breakingnews.ie/discover/7-practically-prehistoric-animals-you-wont-believe-still-exist-949531.html
Okay, if that doesn't give me nightmares, nothing will! LOL
The Shoebill in particular gave me the heebie-jeebies! Reminded me of a scene from one of the Jurassic Park movies where pterodactyls are attacking someone, and one of them turns to look at the other rescuers - it was a look that said "You're next!"
Unbelievable that they all survived to this day when everything else in the world has changed! Thanks for the info T40!

Northern Ontario angler has close encounter with a bald eagle
https://northernontario.ctvnews.ca/northern-ontario-angler-has-close-encounter-with-a-bald-eagle-1.4592481
Angler Kevin Labrosse sacrificed his walleye to a bald eagle after it swooped down as he was reeling it in. (Supplied)
Seeing as how the eagle was wider than the boat they were in, and it had already swooped his head once, I can definitely see why he would willingly sacrifice his prize catch to the eagle. And, of course, the pencil pushers in the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry just HAD to include this comment:
"If the eagle was injured as a result of the activity, it could be considered a violation of the Fish and Wildlife Conservation Act, 1997 (FWCA) - unlawfully hunting an eagle (as hunting includes harassing and this could be considered harassment). The use of a fish that was suitable for human consumption could be considered an infraction under the FWCA; it is an offence to abandon fish that you have caught, or permit the fish to become unsuitable for human consumption."
I would say an eagle landing on your head would be considered harassment more than giving up your fish so it leaves you alone! And what about 'catch and release' , which is the only way I fish? That could be considered abandoning a fish that I've caught. Or are they referring to just leaving them on the bank to die rather than throwing them back in or keeping for consumption?
In any case, thanks for passing on this, and all the other posts that I'll be checking out on my lunch hour, T40! You certainly find the most interesting bird news and facts! :)

I wonder if it was a barred or GH owl that attacked Mom on the nest this past season? Left a nasty bruise on the right side of her beak for quite a while.

https://www.modbee.com/news/local/article235160257.html
How sad, but at least she's in a good place for rehab and care. They said they don't know if it's West Nile Virus or possibly lead poisoning. If it's lead or some other type of poisoning, it's a good sign that she's able to keep mice down now. But they said that by the time an injured bird is brought to them, it's usually in so bad of shape that when it recovers they are not able to be released back into the wild. They mentioned the first and last time they were able to release one was back in 1993.

A brown pelican, who's become quite popular in Glace Bay after being blown off course by Hurricane Dorian earlier this month, catches some fish thrown at him by workers at Ka'le Bay Fish Plant. Local wildlife experts believe the pelican will leave once the weather gets colder however, wildlife rehabilitation staff at Pelican Harbour Seabird Station in Florida say this might not be the case if he is young and there are no other pelicans to follow. - Nikki Sullivan

T40, thanks so much for all the research you do to enable us to read these fascinating articles. I've been out of commission for a while, and am just now getting back into the swing of things. I especially liked your post concerning the birds in central Indiana, where I live. I've been to Eagle Creek Park many times over the years and have enjoyed the variety of birds there. I have a GBH living close to me that I see in the creek that runs behind my subdivision. I've even been able to take a short video of it, but not too close as it spooks easily. As I walk the trail behind my subdivision, I've almost 'run' into it!
Some of your posts made me laugh, others made me cry. The climate change ones really affect me, as I'm sure it does many others. Hope you keep up the good work of informing us about birds around the world - it's much appreciated!

From RRP's FB page:
Raptor Resource Project
Just now
Minnesota friends and followers! The Friends of Scenic and Natural Areas petitioned the Minnesota DNR to prohibit the use of lead ammo and fishing tackle in Minnesota's Scenic and Natural Areas.
The DNR needs to hear from Minnesotans on this issue, especially those who hunt and fish! The deadline to receive comments is November 2nd. You can email them with a letter, but I also encourage you to send a good old US Postal service mail. Representing an organization? Put it on your letterhead! Follow this link for the original petition and mailing information: https://www.snafriends.org/non-toxic-ammunition-tackle-petitio?fbclid=IwAR16UzJvWYZyChVscGlb-LA5gJtDfE7KZIKYyjJbyYz1eiLXyocMMhydq4A. To read more about the effort and who supports it, click here: http://www.startribune.com/minnesota-is-asked-to-ban-lead-in-ammo-fishing-tackle/562293012/?fbclid=IwAR3BNvwsyofLAEo5mg1-NvknERt-1M98q8Dig1nKTt7OPbrZkaSfVl4rgrk.
Here is the letter we sent: https://raptorresource.org/pdf/letterofsupport.pdf?fbclid=IwAR04LBLAiHbMOw879_1ZOFI50Gk_CujHFSNQu2-GQtHRa9SkmsqNhuJh7SQ.
You, our friends and followers, know that lead is bad for bald eagles and other birds. I encourage Minnesota peeps to do some reading about lead's impact on birds in our state before writing. A few links:
Tranel, Molly A.. "Impacts of Lead Ammunition on Wildlife, the Environment, and Human Health--a Literature Review and Implications for Minnesota." (2009): https://www.peregrinefund.org/subsites/conference-lead/PDF/0307%20Tranel.pdf?fbclid=IwAR1lFQ0_rcfCKNgPD9a7xtagHQnrR_FQkqSq5Ns8_YZwfP8rRV8j3dFQH18

Whether or not you live in Minnesota, you can help by hunting and fishing lead-free, networking with others who are concerned about lead, and helping to get the word out about non-toxic alternatives. SOAR and the Raptor Center have been real leaders on this issue. More links:

Spectacular footage shows eagle's eye-view of the damage that climate change appears to be doing to glaciers in the Alps
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-7540419/Footage-shows-eagles-eye-view-climate-change-damage-Alps.html
What a spectacular (and sad) video! With overwhelming visual proof of dramatic changes to the earth's landscapes, how could anyone still think climate change is a hoax? Many years ago I read that the largest glaciers in Glacier National Park were disappearing at an alarming rate. It was accompanied by 'before' and 'after' pictures, scanning over 30 years. This was before the phrases 'climate change' and 'global warming' were even thought of, and I remember how upset I was at seeing that. And when I went a whole Summer without seeing a single honey bee in any of the flower beds that surround my home, I was truly scared. Since then, thankfully, the honey bees are getting back to healthy populations, but would not have without mans' intervention. That's what it will take to turn this ship around - enough people realizing we only have one planet, and preserving it is worth any cost.
Thank you, T40, for bringing these issues to the forefront.

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.

T40, wonderful articles, as usual! The takeaway seems to be, humans can be a bird's best friend or worst enemy. I'd like to think there are more of the former than the latter. Thank you for researching these and sharing with all of us!

In the Amazon, day trips that include wildlife interactions are increasingly popular, though they pose welfare and conservation concerns, advocates say. Here, tourists crowd in on a pink river dolphin outside Manaus, Brazil. The dolphin's scratches are a result of battling with other dolphins for baitfish.

The Harpy Eagle: Terrifying Apex Predator or Creepy Halloween Costume?
https://animals.howstuffworks.com/birds/harpy-eagle.htm
The harpy eagle (Harpia harpyja) is the largest eagle in the world. Would you mess with this guy? Wikimedia Commons (CC By-SA 3.0)
I followed the link above and read that they only produce one chick every 3 years, but then I clicked on the picture in that article where a man is sitting next to the eagle, and that article said they reproduce every 2 years. Either way, it's not quick enough to keep up with the deforestation and deliberate killings by ranchers, caused by lack of information. It would be a tragedy to see this unique and powerful eagle become extinct someday - perhaps sooner than later.
Thanks for this post, T40!

How interesting! The article said: "Bald eagles are the Glaucous-winged gulls? biggest nemesis and predator, eating eggs, chicks and adults."
I don't know if the gulls we see on the flyway cam are Glaucous-winged or not, but they seem to coexist alright with the bald eagles there.

NW - So glad you enjoyed the video. Gorgeous raptor with startlingly blue eyes. Have you seen "Bird of Prey?" Here's the trailer for it. The film is available on Amazon or iTunes to rent or buy. It'll change your life.
Trailer: http://birdofpreymovie.com/
I don't know what you know so I'm just going to plunge in: Neil Rettig (Bird of Prey filmmaker) is an RRP Board member and his wife, Dr. Laura Johnson, took care of D32 that first day and night after he was discovered. Neil and Laura lost their Harpy eagle, Cal, to blackflies a year ago. They had presented Cal at one of the ATFs and Neil was 1 of only 2 people in the U.S. permitted to have a Harpy eagle. The Philippine and Harpy eagles are the most spectacular raptors, IMHO. And, yes, I've watched the Harpy v. Philippine eagle video and had recently posted it in the Philippine Eagle thread. ;)

A lone redhead drake at center loafs with what appears to be mostly ring-necked ducks at Crystal Lake in Iron Mountain. While most of these seemed to be settling in for a nap, the number of waterfowl coming through the region should pick up pace now that conditions are turning colder, migration experts said. The lake had Canada geese, mallard, wood ducks and coots as well, along with what appeared to be a few scaup. (Theresa Proudfit/Daily News photo)

A New Bill Aims to Counter the Rollback of a Bedrock Bird Law
https://www.audubon.org/news/a-new-bill-aims-counter-rollback-bedrock-bird-law?ms=policy-adv-email-ea-x-engagement_20200116_advisory&utm_source=ea&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=engagement_20200116_advisory&emci=e9b85e62-7138-ea11-a1cc-2818784d084f&emdi=7d9513bc-f839-ea11-a1cc-2818784d084f&ceid=7455
In winter, especially, birds seek open water such as the trout hatchery's retention pond. Tragically, open pits of wastewater and oil are often, mistakenly chosen by birds which is usually a lethal decision. The new MBTA bill would restore protections for wildlife against hazards like this and I urge you to do all you can to ensure the bill's passage. Thank you!

Dave Kutz of the Iowa DNR counted eagles one recent morning below the Coralville Lake dam, where a large flock of more than 50 were hunting. This DNR technician based at Hawkeye Wildlife Management Area then spent the day travelling both sides of the Iowa River in Johnson County to complete his section of the DNR's annual statewide eagle survey. He found twice as many eagles on his route compared to a normal year. (Photo: Dick Hakes/Special to the Press-Citizen)

Anne Hare, a Teton Raptor Center volunteer, opens a crate to release a soon-to-be 31-year-old-male bald eagle that crashed through the window of a Hoback home on Jan. 28.

Quoting 'To Kill a Mockingbird,' judge strikes down Trump administration rollback of historic law protecting birds

A federal judge in New York has invalidated rule changes by the Trump administration that allowed individuals and corporations to kill scores of birds as long as they could prove they did not intentionally set out to do so.
In a blistering ruling that cited Harper Lee?s ?To Kill a Mockingbird,? U.S. District Judge Valerie E. Caproni ripped the administration?s interpretation of ?takings? and ?killings? of birds under the century-old Migratory Bird Treaty Act as applying only if the animals are specifically targeted.
Tuesday?s ruling was the latest legal setback for the Trump administration as it has systematically tried to weaken or nullify scores of federal environmental protections. In her decision, Caproni said the administration had gone too far.
?There is nothing in the text of the MBTA that suggests that in order to fall within its prohibition, activity must be directed specifically at birds,? wrote Caproni, who was nominated to the Southern District of New York by President Obama in 2012. ?Nor does the statute prohibit only intentionally killing migratory birds. And it certainly does not say that only ?some? kills are prohibited.?
The changes made by the Trump administration largely benefited oil companies, which have paid most of the fines for violating the act, according to an analysis by the National Audubon Society.
In the administration?s view, even BP, the company responsible for the 2010 Deepwater Horizon oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico that led to the deaths of an estimated 1 million birds, would not be liable for punishment under the law. A landowner who destroys endangered owl nests without checking before building a barn or an oil company that fails to cover a tar pit that birds could dive into and be killed could not be held responsible as they have for decades.
Caproni determined that allowing the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service police to enforce the act only if officials could prove intent was a violation of the federal Administrative Procedure Act and vacated the changes. In striking down the rule change, she admonished the Interior Department with a passage from ?To Kill a Mockingbird.?
?It is not only a sin to kill a mockingbird, it is also a crime,? Caproni wrote. ?That has been the letter of the law for the past century. But if the Department of the Interior has its way, many mockingbirds and other migratory birds that delight people and support ecosystems throughout the country will be killed without legal consequence.?
Eight state attorneys general challenged the administration when it weakened the act two years ago. Led by then-New York Attorney General Barbara Underwood, the coalition included the top attorneys in Maryland, New Jersey, Illinois, Massachusetts, Oregon, California and New Mexico.
The court joined their lawsuit with another challenge filed by the National Audubon Society and numerous other conservation groups, including the Center for Biological Diversity.
?This is a huge victory for birds and it comes at a critical time ? science tells us that we?ve lost 3 billion birds in less than a human lifetime and that two-thirds of North American birds are at risk of extinction due to climate change,? Sarah Greenberger, interim chief conservation officer for the National Audubon Society, said in a statement.
Interior Department spokesman Conner Swanson defended the rule change. ?Today?s opinion undermines a common sense interpretation of the law and runs contrary to recent efforts, shared across the political spectrum, to decriminalize unintentional conduct,? he wrote in an email.

The Trump administration has suffered numerous defeats in its effort to scuttle long-standing environmental protections, calling them onerous requirements that were harming industry and development.
In February, a federal judge in Idaho voided nearly 1 million acres of oil and gas leases on federal lands in the West, echoing an earlier decision in saying the Trump administration was ?arbitrary and capricious? in the way that it limited public input on those leases.
In the weeks leading up to the Migratory Bird Treaty Act rule change in 2018, the administration lost three court cases in three consecutive days. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit ruled in 2018 that the Environmental Protection Agency?s move to delay new chemical and safety requirements was ?arbitrary and capricious.?
A day before, a judge on the U.S. District Court in South Carolina reinstated a rule in 26 states limiting the dredging and filling of streams and waterways on the grounds that the EPA had not solicited sufficient public input. Before that, a judge on the U.S. District Court of Montana ordered the State Department to conduct a more extensive environmental impact statement of the Keystone XL?s proposed route through Nebraska.
The 1918 Migratory Bird Treaty Act was enacted after several species of common birds became extinct. The administration?s action reversed decades of efforts by Republican and Democratic administrations to protect the animals as they navigate the globe. The law covers such disparate birds as eagles, red knots, Canada geese and vultures.
Oil companies were the greatest beneficiaries of the new interpretation, according to an analysis by the Audubon Society. They were responsible for 90 percent of incidental takes prosecuted under the act, resulting in fines of $6,500 per violation. Two disastrous oil spills, the BP Deepwater Horizon spill off Louisiana in 2010 and the Exxon Valdez oil tanker wreck off Alaska in 1989, accounted for 97 percent of the fines, according to the Audubon Society.
In striking down the Interior Department?s rule change, Caproni deferred to how Congress framed the law. ?It shall be unlawful to hunt, take, capture, kill, attempt to take, capture or kill ? by any means whatever ? at any time or in any manner, any migratory bird, included in the terms of the convention between the United States and Great Britain for the protection of migratory birds,? it said.
Caproni granted a motion by the state attorneys and conservationists to vacate the Interior Department?s decision. Attorneys for the Interior Department sought to delay the court?s remedy for undermining the will of Congress when it enacted the Migratory Bird Treaty Act and amended it throughout the years. The judge dismissed that attempt.
?Interior presents no indication that vacating the Opinion will disrupt enforcement or other agency efforts,? she wrote.
?The court?s decision is a ringing victory for conservationists who have fought to sustain the historical interpretation of the Migratory Bird Treaty Act to protect migratory birds from industrial harms,? Jamie Rappaport Clark, the president and chief executive of Defenders of Wildlife, said in a statement.
Clark called the federal action a wrongheaded move that ?would have left the fate of more than 1,000 species of birds in the hands of industry.?

My new hobby is: I have become a remote wildlife watcher.
Quote: "You can watch this pair of white-bellied sea-eagles raising chicks at the Newington Armory in Sydney Olympic Park on Sea-EagleCAM. You see them strutting around, feeding the babies, and it kind of makes you feel as though you're not locked inside. Somehow being contained indoors and restricted to your internet connection, it seems like your interaction with the world is so sped up and hyperactive. You're jumping around online, checking this, emailing that person. It all feels so dementedly accelerated and I'm getting a lot of comfort out of watching slow things. At least I know there's an eagle that's done nothing all day but get fish and eat them. It's nice to see somebody living a well-proportioned life."

Sunday August 30 I photographed a STELLER?S SEA EAGLE at mile post 43 of the Denali highway (just west of MacLaren River). It circled overhead going from north to south across the highway. When first spotted it was north west of the highway sitting on a spruce tree not far from a caribou carcass.

Rockefeller Center Christmas tree owl set free

"The tiny brown-and-white speckled Saw-whet that inadvertently traveled from Oneonta to Manhattan aboard this year?s Rockefeller Christmas tree was released back into its natural habitat on Tuesday night.
Workers with the Ravensbeard Wildlife Center in Saugerties, where Rockefeller has been convalescing, released the bird at dusk into a vast upstate open space with plenty of conifers for the owl to seek safety in.
The wildlife center shared footage of the release, showing the owl flee from a woman?s hand onto a nearby tree, before taking off again.
Workers discovered the feathered creature clinging for her life to the 75-foot-tall Norway spruce shortly after the tree was trucked into Manhattan on Nov. 14.
Adorable photos of the tiny bird wrapped in an orange sweater soon went viral on social media as the heartwarming tale 2020 needed.But wildlife experts previously told The Post that she would have endured a hellish journey to the big city and is lucky to have survived."

Retired NHS consultant Phil Bennett was highly praised for his amazing shot of a peregrine falcon chick taking a bird whilst its parent looked on. He said: 'The peregrines nested just a mile or so from where I live in Scarborough and after the relaxing of the lockdown restrictions I'd be up with the sun and out to watch the peregrines hunting for breakfast, to watch the young grow and fledge, and learn to hunt'

Wright County Conservation Board
ATTENTION WRIGHT COUNTY RESIDENTS AND OUTDOOR ENTHUSIASTS......On Sunday, Dec. 6th, 2020, we received a call on a dead BALD EAGLE. The location of the eagle and the proximity to the river bridge suggested that someone had shot the eagle and killed it. The bridge spans the Iowa river and is adjacent to the GROOM WILDLIFE AREA, south of Rowan or NW of Dows. Xrays showed two holes in the head of the eagle. Approximate diameter of a .22 caliber rifle round. The condition of the eagle was such that it was possibly shot on Sat, Dec 5th from the bridge. If you or you know someone that has pertinent information regarding this heinous behavior, please contact the Iowa DNR TIP HOTLINE at 1-800-532-2020 or contact the local sherriff's office or conservation board office. We appreciate any all tips that would help solve this crime.
**********UPDATED INFORMATION**********
In addition to the TIP HOTLINE possible reward money, a private citizen has pledged $100 reward for information that leads to the conviction of the person or persons responsible for this crime.
********REWARD IS NOW OVER $2,000.00******
This reward money would be in addition to any received from a crimestoppers call. We will not collect any pledge money from individuals until we have a confession and/ or conviction in this case. Thanks to all who have pledged so far for reward money.
*******MORE UPDATED INFORMATION ********
WOW.....WE ARE HUMBLED WITH THE RESPONSES AND OFFERS FOR REWARD MONEY. WE ARE CURRENTLY TRYING TO FIGURE OUT A WAY TO DO THIS THAT IS THE RIGHT WAY. OUR BIGGEST ISSUE IS, AS A GOVERNMENT AGENCY, CAN WE LEGALLY HAVE A VENMO OR PAYPAL AND IF SO WHAT AND HOW WILL THAT WORK FOR AUDIT PURPOSES. #2...WE DON'T WANT TO ACCEPT MONIES AND MAYBE SIT ON OR WORSE YET NEVER PAY IT OUT, SO THEN HOW DO WE GET REFUNDS BACK TO THOSE WHO DONATED.
SO HAVING SAID THAT, WE ARE KEEPING A RUNNING PLEDGE SHEET AND HOPEFULLY WE CAN HAVE SOMETHING SET UP IN A DAY OR SO......THANKS FOR YOUR CONCERNS AND SUPPORT AND WE WILL UPDATE AS WE GET THIS FIGURED OUT.
******PLEDGED REWARD MONIES ARE NOW OVER $3,000.00*******
SOMEONE OUT THERE KNOWS SOMETHING ABOUT THIS CASE, DO THE RIGHT THING AND COME FORWARD SO WE CAN HAVE RESOLUTION TO THIS SENSELESS KILLING OF THE BALD EAGLE. YOU CAN REMAIN ANNONYMOUS...........THE OFFICE NUMBER FOR THE WRIGHT COUNTY CONSERVATION BOARD IS 515-532-3185.
***********PLEDGED REWARD IS NOW OVER $4,400.00*************
WE THOUGHT WE HAD A LEAD BUT DIDN'T PAN OUT.

From the cyanobacterium to the bald eagle—toxin transmission through the food chain.
A. hydrillicola, growing in colonies on aquatic vegetation, produces the neurotoxin AETX. Waterbirds, tadpoles, aquatic turtles, snails, and fish consume this contaminated vegetation and develop VM. Predators develop VM when they consume animals that have been grazing on A. hydrillicola–covered plants.

“#TransferBreedingEaglesNow”
Why do we need to relocate our breeding Philippine eagle pairs from the Philippine Eagle Center in Malagos to the Eden Tourism Reservation Area in Barangay Eden, Davao City?
https://www.philippineeaglefoundation.org/transfer-breeding-eagles-now
Over the past 35 years, the landscape around the PEC has changed so much that the threats to the captive breeding Philippine eagles are now at our doorstep.
Commercial and game farms have mushroomed in the area surrounding the PEC. Along with this, human activities increased. Avian flu continues to be one of the salient threats and such farms are breeding grounds for these diseases. Activities in adjacent farm lots such as hauling, land clearing, or the sound of chainsaws cause distress to the Philippine eagles. With all these changes, the woodland buffer that once served as a shield from such threats, has thinned out.
With the breeding season here, our Philippine eagles, especially the natural pairs, are vulnerable to disturbances. The noise from the activities in the adjacent farm lot divert their attention from breeding to fixating on the source of the disturbance instead. If this continues, we essentially lose potential hatchlings that could be released into the wild.
Hiyas and Magiting are in their 4th year but have yet to produce a fertile egg. Maslog and Mayumi are being paired. However promising the turn out may be, their breeding behaviors are susceptible to interruptions. While Ariela and MVP Matatag were able to produce a chick last year, we need to improve on successfully rearing their young to be fit for release in the forest. But the PEC is no longer viable for this.
We are currently working with the Davao City Government to move our breeding eagles to a public owned land in Brgy Eden, Toril. Based on a feasibility study we conducted on the area, it is viable for a breeding facility with an ideal altitude and forest cover which are on a par with the eagle’s natural habitat. However, the Usufruct Agreement with the City Government allowing us to use 13.46 ha of the 105-ha property, has yet to be released despite our plea for the emergency transfer of the eagles.
Equally important to securing the location, is generating the resources needed to get the work done. Please pitch in to this endeavor and together, let’s make this happen now. Supporting this campaign will lead to producing Philippine eagles that we can release in the forest in the future.
Please indicate that your donation is for this campaign by putting “#TransferBreedingEaglesNow” on the transaction notes.
Thank you,
The Philippine Eagle Foundation

Three eaglets — D34, D35 and D36 — look around from their nest overlooking a Decorah fish hatchery in this undated photo by the Raptor Resource Project in Decorah.

Usually bald eagles lay only one to three eggs per season, but one volunteer observed one Iowa nest with four eaglets. (Raptor Resource Project)
