The osprey, listed as a threatened species in New Jersey, was found in Verona with burned wing feathers earlier in the month. It was likely injured while perching on a smokestack from a methane burner, possibly at a nearby landfill.

   

Look!!!

Blood shed in domestic incident at Ozzie the eagle's nest!

   Poor Ozzie!   

[Sandy, the single hatch this year from the Toronto Sheraton Hotel nest site]

The nesting season has wound down and we are now watching as our young of the year make appearances at various locations on their way south. Sightings are rolling in with two notable ones. Both of these sightings come from the Tommy Thompson Raptor Banding Station at the Leslie Street Spit. Recently two female peregrines were drawn in to the nets; Ivy, who is a subadult female from the 101 Hudson Street nest in New Jersey and Sandy, the single hatch this year from the Toronto Sheraton Hotel nest site. Thank you so much to the banders at Tommy Thompson for the updates on these two lovely ladies! Both were in great shape with good weights. They have periodically been seen in the park so they have yet to move on.

Hi Sandy, you look beautiful!!   

Frederick's already been busy with delivery for four beaks

WINK News   Ozzie story

Looks like RM at 8:18 am

Next frame she was gone!

Just saw that.  He should have stayed away, I don't think this is going to end well.

I don't like this either!!   

[I know it's a different eagle, but it is a happy eagle story. OZZIE ... of Ozzie & Harriet Fame (Southwest Florida nest) has returned from his long absence. He had been released in late-July, but hadn't been seen since. Most had given up on his returning to Harriet, and she had seemed to take on a new male. Tonight, the game changed. Ozzie is back, and he chased the other male off several times, captured on video. Not only that, but Ozzie's identity has been confirmed by the anklet he was fitted with after rehab and before release. Lots of SEDs happening tonight. EAGLE ON]

For anyone concerned about Genesee still being home looking for food this time of year, here are two old posts I had done back when Big Frank (ie) came home looking for food and hung out with mom back in 2013.  One is dated today -2013 and the other September 24.2013.  At the time I was worried but look at her now!
