Nice video!  Thanks for posting, Ei! NX looked hot when they were holding her.  Hope she's doing OK and will be released soon.

From the chat...

07/28/11 Cary: …. my pics of a juvie at 5:30 pm yesterday, a couple thous. feet down-river from the release field. There is a purple band, but it is unreadable. Each of you can pretend it is whoever your fav is. Whoever it is looks pretty happy surveying it's new beginnings

Thanks for posting, Ei!  Has there been any reason given as to why they're keeping NX caged for so long after she was found to be unhurt from the first release?

It turns out she wasn't quite ready for release after all.  They said when they found her grounded she wasn't behaving like an angry juvie but more like a scared baby, cowering and even making "baby" squeek sounds.  They say it wasn't apparent with her siblings because they were all in a routine.  Once she was in the flight pen with a different eagle it was obvious she wasn't quite mature enough.  They think she would have been OK but better to be on the safe side. They think another week to 10 days will give her enough time.  Azalea the transmitter bird from 2009 was the same way-hung around the nest begging for food until mid-August.  Then suddenly a light bulb went off for her & she was on her way.  She's still successfully going back & forth between VA & NC.

I remember that with Azalea.  Is NX the one who suffered a foot/leg injury and that's why she's behind?
