Sauces Bald Eagles - Channel Islands
Sept. 11, 2024 8:4 4 AM
Camera time: Sept. 11, 2024 6:44 PDT

Looks like  Audacity




The Sauces Canyon nest, located at the top of a 40-foot Monterey cypress tree, has been active since 2008. Jak (male) and Audacity (female) have been breeding here together since 2014. See the entire nesting history at: https://www.iws.org/sauces-nest-history .

Again, another sad heartbreaking season for this wonderful pair of bald eagles. This nest captured my heart . I pray that one day it will return  it's former prosperity.


2024 NEST EVENTS:

First Clutch
2/2: First egg laid around 15:10.
2/16: Camera back online and still one egg. Expected hatch 3/10-3/22.
We don't know if this is the original egg or not....or how many eggs may have been laid, so it could be later.

3/16: Egg broken. 💔 No apparent cause.

Second Clutch

4/11: First egg around 18:20:40. This is the first time a Channel Islands’ eagle is known to have laid a second clutch after incubating a first clutch for more than 2-3 weeks.

4/12: Egg broken by 10:25. 💔

4/15: Second egg laid around 15:03. Broken immediately. 💔

4/18: Third egg laid and broken immediately around 16:02. 💔

4/21: Forth egg laid at 18:06. Broken by 19:09. 💔

4/26: Fifth egg laid and broken immediately at 17:09. 💔

Amy Roberts posts these pics from Eagan MN last night. South and across the river from me, so not Northern MN...the Northern Lights have been active for weeks here now.
I manage to miss them all but for photos as it's past my bedtime and I'm not willing to stay up for them. I have seen them before with my naked eye...Cool of course.

Have a Great Day, Eagles4

Oh I need some emotional support today ..It's been a week tomorrow without walking Ollie man nor letting him run in the back yard...run is not really the correct word. More like sprint round and round chasing chipmunks and squirrels sometimes off the top of the yard...

He's seemingly fine now after almost a week of rimadyl...suppose to wait a WHOLE another week!...today is too hot. Tomorrow as well....but, after that me feels me wanting to "save" the poor guy who has been real cheeky being a couch potato, but I know he's bored out of his mind.

We don't let him play inside with ball either as it gets the "zoomies" started.

Poor guy....oh I'm so tempted to at least start short walks back up when it cools down in a few days.

What say you all? He has a total of 14 days of rimadyl, hence the bed rest for that long. Done on the 25th.

Do docs really know? esp when they only surmised what was wrong with him.

[kbshcb]

this is astonishing!

There are only about 700 Whooping Cranes in existence in the entire world.  They are one of the rarest birds in all of North America. There must be something extra-special about Minnesota that this Whooping Crane I photographed two days ago, on September 15th, is the very same one I first saw here and had the honor of photographing in June when a farmer friend who knows my passion for birds told me he had an almost 5 foot tall white bird in one of his fields.  The International Crane Foundation knows her whereabouts because of the cellular transmitter on her legs.  She was born last year in Wisconsin, spent the winter in Indiana, made a brief visit to a Chicago suburbs, went back to Horicon Marsh in Wisconsin, then followed the curve of the Wisconsin River into NE Iowa, and then into Minnesota where I've now had the astronomically almost impossible odds of witnessing her two times now over the span of 3 months.  Her assigned number by the ICF is 16-23, and they named her "Animal."  I affectionately call her, "Her Majesty."  Every time I have seen her, she has been in the company of Sandhill Cranes.  Here they are flying together over a partially harvested Minnesota cornfield for silage.  What a gift that Her Majesty has called Minnesota her home for the entire summer.— in Minnesota.

The average weight for a 230-day old male toroa is 9.5 kg. BOK fed her chick after weighing today.

Royal Albatross ~ CHICK FIGHT AT TOP FLAT! TFT Defends His Territory After BOK Arrives Home! 9.16.24
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gaNO6ZecUtI

Sep 15, 2024  #TAIAROA #royalcam #albatross
Early in the morning, we see TFT at his nest and another neighbor chick over to the left . TF announces his presence by running & flapping into view! TF heads over to TFT who is sleeping and looks around. TFT wakes up & clacks at TF for disturbing him. TF doesn't feel much like socializing so he turns around & heads back to his nest.

An hour later, BOK arrives close to TF and he comes over to her. She gives him a quick little clack warning, then heads over to TFT to begin a feeding. The other neighbor chick sees BOK and he runs to her to try and get a feeding but TFT snaps at him and defends his territory and feeding with BOK. Chick fight at Top Flat! TFT is boss and he sends the message to the other chick to scram and it does go beneath the hill.

TFT gets a feeding from BOK and TF comes over and is a gentleman as he watches the feeding from a respectable distance. When BOK is finished, she heads over to the neighbor chick who is at the far left and begins to preen its head. TFT is frustrated for BOK ending the feeding and to see all these other chicks around so he starts in with TF & clacks at him. TF turns and goes back to his nest. Then TFT goes over to BOK and the other chick and he has another chick fight with it - sending the neighbor away from his territory. TFT is the boss! Thank you for watching!

PHYL  Squirrel tickling mouse nose     I remember mystery island from the first go around - so eerie  365
Seems we've been saying this from the beginning - Something in the environment is causing the eggs to break - something the eagles are eating.  Hopefully some investigation is ongoing?  Looking back at the history - only a few have hatched and fledged for years now.

LISA   Boys heading back a day early - Seems Tim was so sick last night - suspicious food poisoning.  We shall see.  I have not spoken with him.

KB  I vote for a short walk on a short leash- maybe two times on cooler days.   Thanks for post Bryce's piece - How exciting for him.
I so want to get to the international Crane Foundation one day.

Thanks, tsk...that's what I'm thinking as well. Depression seems to have sat in him today...that can't be good either....short walks in the cooler days ahead. I'll observe him closely of course.
