The substance affecting the seabirds has now been identified as polyisobutene (PIB), and the RSPB wants it banned.

Interesting-I wondered what it was.  It's disgraceful what's being dumped into the oceans!

Congratulations to Savannah and Derek on their brand new eaglet!

Not good pics, but the only glimpse I've had of the little one.

      

Thanks, Alison!  Now hoping the other egg hatches!

1st hatch, waiting for Savannah to get up to see it!!

   I knew yesterday they were on hatch watch! Can't wait to see it!

I just read that a 5th nest built by Dad Norfolk and his mate in NBG was removed by the USDA this AM.

Thought they had to stop after 3?? Heartbreaking!! This is so RIDICULOUS!!!!!

The permit allowed the USDA to remove 3 nests-so far 2 were removed on Oct. 4th and 1 on Dec. 8th, Jan. 11th and Feb. 9th. I feel so bad for these Eagles having built these but also having paintballs shot at them and whatever other means they're using to chase them off!

Beautiful picture!

I just read that the GHO laid its own egg today!

I know it won't but imagine if the bald eagle egg hatched!!!! Would it be an Eagle Owl?? 

I just said that to Bill!  What if that egg does hatch!?

  Aafke!

I love happy endings! Thanks! 

Very sad.
