Injured bald eagle thrilled rescue team with egg. Now South MS could get its own eagle cam By Martha Sanchez January 18, 2025 5:00 AM| A pair of bald eagles was spotted outside of the Sun Herald on Debuys Road in Gulfport on Tuesday, January 24, 2017. Watch one of them take flight and fly away perching in a nearby tree. By Amanda McCoy The discovery thrilled Missy Dubuisson and her colleagues at Wild at Heart Rescue. A bald eagle delivered to them with injuries had suddenly laid an egg. “I never would’ve thought in a million years this would happen to us,” said Dubuisson, founder and director of the rescue in Jackson County. “It’s exciting and nerve-wracking.” The egg began a rush of excitement and caution that, Dubuisson joked, has everyone “walking on eggshells over here.” It is the first bald eagle egg they have ever been responsible for. Every next step is governed by federal authorities because bald eagles are protected by law. The eagle, named Orin, arrived Jan. 13 at Wild at Heart Rescue, which is state and federally permitted to possess and rehabilitate wildlife. Orin was found in Poplarville, where Dubuisson believes she may have been hit by a car. She had a painful beak fracture and a wing injury. Both were treated by a veterinarian, and Orin went to the rescue for rehabilitation. A bald eagle named Orin was delivered to Wild at Heart Rescue in Jackson County. Then she laid an egg. Wild at Heart Rescue She laid the egg on Wednesday. Laura Mioton, the caregiver for Orin and another eagle, saw the egg first and told Dubuisson. “It’s like a Christmas morning thing,” Dubuisson said. Eagles usually lay eggs from December to February. When one mate commands the nest, the other searches for food. Orin may have seen some food, such as a rabbit, in the road when she got hurt. It is unclear where Orin’s mate is, but Dubuisson said he may still be in a nest, somewhere, waiting. There is no way for them to know. Orin and her egg are tightly protected, and no visitors are allowed for her safety. But Dubuisson plans to install a camera before the rescue puts Orin in her new enclosure in about a week. Dubuisson said the rescue will upload footage and updates to its Facebook page. Eventually, Dubuisson wants people to be able to tune in to a live camera. For now, Orin is calm. If she becomes restless, Dubuisson said the rescue will consult with federal authorities about how to protect the egg. The egg could hatch by mid-February. The rescue hopes to move Orin to a larger enclosure as she heals with her baby. A full release is a long way off. But one day, Dubuisson hopes to release Orin and the baby together. Now the rescue team is determined to keep Orin well-fed, warm, safe and calm. “Each day the egg is intact,” Dubuisson said, “it’s the greatest thing.” MS Martha Sanchez Sun Herald https://www.sunherald.com/news/local/counties/jackson-county/article298665658.html

I guess about 6 minutes.  I love those cattle.  Some few farms around here raise them.  Not many.
Darn Lost my time again for fooling around too long with extra coffee and talking on the phone with my Amish friend Samuel.  It was important though.  I am to get him and his one sister at the train station and take them to his uncles house.  We needed to finalize times.  It will be get them at 4:48 am on Wednesday the 22th.
Also, been spending a lot of time on GSB and Brownsville cams.  Taking shots and sending them to Debbie and to Mary.  I like to do that.  I am hoping they will log in someday and I won't have to.
Cal, sounds like you are doing good for keeping everyone warm.  Not hot, but warm.  That mule needs a release of pent up energy. LOL
Bye for now.  I can't keep up with football.  I thought Buffalo was done, and last night I heard they are playing again.  I am sure the Browns are done.  So I tend to not pay attention as much as if they were still in the hunt.  Go Chiefs!!!
 Bundle up. Now it is all the way up to 5 degrees outside.  Driveway was plowed in the night.  So moving the Caddy out has paid off already.  I will not have to shovel.
Bundle up EV1 GBU, Israel, Ukraine, and all the hostages.  3 women for 2000 terrorists wow!!!

Good Morning Beakers


I was supposed to have a 9am doc appointment, but received an email saying the office was having a delayed opening for 10am, due to the snow last night.  I am all rescheduled for this Wednesday. 

Phyl - Brrr on your temps this morning, but your morning pics make me think of sunny warm days to come.

tsk - Oh no, not only I am sure you are sick of it, but also that is frightening in the middle of the night!

Puff - I do that seat belt thingy when I am at the Wildlife Refuge.  I do the driving thru the refuge, while Jeff walks, but I also like to look out the windows with the binoculars or camera.  I cannot stand to listen to the seat belt constantly ding...ding...ding, so locking it in place keeps that from happening. Just be careful since you are not in a seat belt, hope you don't have to go too far!

clynn - Wow, the tree of life! Love your morning squirrel pic. 

tig and kb - Stay safe, warm and inside!

Lani - That cake is a puzzle!  ;D  But, I loved the splashed looking artwork of it.

karen;D no Battle of the Beltway! 

I wish I could find the post that I saw on FB yesterday, but it was from a wildlife rehab that rescued an injured eagle that had a beak problem and after they got it to the facility, the eagle laid an egg!

Found it....

Currently -2 and heading to a whopping 8 degrees today.

BL  Boy, Tank is so lucky his home has been spared and that you have a place to stay while assisting.  God bless your efforts and stay safe.

LANI   ((((Aly)))   Nasty trick for Oregon to play!  Don't blame her.  She is destined for something better.  :-*   Now that goodnight pup knows what side his bread is buttered on  LOL

CLYNN   Look at that squirrel in the hummer feeder  :o :o :o    WOW  That baobab tree is a new one for me. Think of what the world was like thousands of years ago and who might have walked past that!

PUFF    I've not tried that seat belt trick but it makes sense it should work.  Hope you don't have far to go.  Steering tho Hmmmmm

Well at midnight last night was awakened by the chirping of our upstairs smoke detector.  All new ones 2 years ago guaranteed for 10 years   In Nov of last year the basement one was replaced.  Now two months later another one.  Will call electrician this AM.  So got the ladder out , unscrewed it off the plate and had to google again how to "unlock" the battery box.    ::)   This is such a frustrating problem in this house.  I'm so sick of this.
