I couldn't get it to work for me either. Sad  I also wish them a safe life's journey!

WHAT!!

I think it might have been Ed Clark who came by helicopter. 

The eaglets were late-they took a wrong turn & got lost.

NX had to be returned to care.  She wasn't injured-just hot, tired & stressed and couldn't get any altitude.

Poor baby.  Hope she'll be OK from all this hoopla.  Sad

Official post...she was handled extra because they put a transmitter on her...
   
Ed Clark, WCV:
Good afternoon all..... I'm in the car, on the way back to WCV... I know the chat has exploded with speculation about NX.... She is FINE. She is NOT injured in any way. She got overheated with the extra handling, and since it was the middle of the day.... we decided not to push her further or harder today.... Her flight was strong and capable, and it took the whole team quite a while to catch her... You should see the team..... They were soaked.... We anticipate keeping her for a few more days, then when she's re-released, we'll do it early in the day, when the temps are 20 degrees cooler....

Ed Clark, WCV:
I had lunch with some of the Game Department guys who were in the boat... They said the other birds did great, from their vantage point..... We are very confident that all are fine. In fact, NX probably would have been fine, if we had just left her there, but we opted to err on the side of being sure.... as we have from Day One.
