Looks like B at nest now

Shooting at night is not a SPORT. I'm listening now, this is terrible! The poor Cranes! That's right the Maltese Govt. are OBLIVIOUS to this! Let's get em. Hopefully, this can change but it's going to take effort! I encourage everyone interested in saving these migrating birds to do what Bobbie said.

When you reach the site I mentioned, go to Contact at top right to include your message...

Thanks!

DONE!!! Thank you Bobbie!

Archers coming its just that his time table is later than what we are used to with Kaver. Both years he showed up around the same time (I remember being worried last year). I too think Mr T is cute so he needs to go and find a lady of his own. I really don't want him and Archer to fight. He could go up to the lady on the crane by the lake.

Yeah I said that to MAK, he can go see the Charlotte falcon, it's just getting him there. So many single gals and he picks Beauty.

Or to the lovely Lady Pefa down the road a bit!

Her man never came back either or were they never really a couple?

I so agree with you Bobbie, so much talent here. Only takes a few minutes to enter. 

I liked Scratch, so sorry Linda & Craig.

Maybe that's what happened to Archer too, same gene...or Callidora scared him too much last year, he's afraid to come back.  Still has another week and it seems Beauty is holding out until then, keeping T at bay. I have to admit, that MR T is a real cutie.

[I'm still thinking of Lucky! Thank you Carol!!]

Happy Birthday Donna!  Hope you had a wonderful day!

 

I'm still thinking of Lucky! Thank you Carol!!

[Um oh yes, of course! Ok, I'll be HAPPY if a bug flies over my car! Anyone with a bird named HAPPY?? LOL]

Lucky's a bird, not a bug!

Don and I were in Syracuse Saturday and looked for the Syracuse Peregrines.  We found Fancy right away on top of a building downtown, but she flew off when we blinked!  We drove around and found her again on a building at the corner of Washington and Warren.  She kept looking around and preening, and then Groucho flew into sight.  He was stirring up the local pigeons.  He flew behind the buildings and then soared so high we lost sight of him.  We watched Fancy for a while, hoping Groucho would return, but we didn't see him.

On our way out of town on Route 690 a peregrine flew over the car!  When I looked backed I saw what I think was Groucho heading for the buildings in the downtown area, maybe to rejoin Fancy.

How nice Suzanne, keep us posted. I'm lucky a bug flies over the car. LUCKY!!

Um oh yes, of course! Ok, I'll be HAPPY if a bug flies over my car! Anyone with a bird named HAPPY?? LOL

[Thank you Paul.]

Happy Birthday, Donna!

Thank you Paul.

OAK HARBOR, OH- Ohio's bald eagle nesting season is underway with at least two eagle pairs already incubating eggs, according to the Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR), Division of Wildlife.
 
An eagle pair in Huron County began sitting on eggs January 30. Wildlife biologists anticipate the Huron County eggs will hatch sometime on or around March 6. A second active nest has been reported in Ashtabula County.
Ohio's bald eagle population grew from only four nesting pairs along the southwestern Lake Erie shore 31 years ago, to 180 eagle nests in 2010. In 2010, 207 eaglets were produced.
The Division of Wildlife staff and a dedicated group of trained volunteers monitor existing nests during the season and continue to look for nests that may as yet be undiscovered.
 
Anyone who observes eagles building a new nest should contact the county wildlife officer, a wildlife district office, 1-800-WILDLIFE or wildohio.com. Individuals are reminded that state and federal laws protect bald eagles and their nest sites. Any type of disturbance around a nest could cause the birds to abandon the site or discourage them from using the nest in the future.
 
Bald eagles range over great distances until mature enough to breed at 3 to 4 years of age. They usually return to nest within 100 miles of where they were raised. Although eagles generally keep the same mate, if one of the pair should die the other will find another mate. An eagle's life span in the wild is about 15 to 20 years.
 
Bald eagles build huge nests in the tops of tall trees near water, often reusing the nest year after year. Nests may reach 10 feet in diameter and weigh as much as 2,000 pounds. Eagles lay two to three eggs once a year. The eggs hatch in about 35 days.
 
The young will fly within three months, but remain under the care of the adults for another seven to 10 weeks. Immature eagles are mottled brown in color and do not acquire their signature white head and tail feathers until age 5 or 6.
