Nah, I knew he'd show up sometime Ei. Now he has double -duty probably. Let's see how this all goes down.

Maybe this two female thing isn't working out so well for the little man.  Good thing Beauty's a strong Peregrine-looks like she's going to need that strength to get through this nesting season with a part-timer.  

2011 CRC EAGLET HAS A NAME

HUNTERSVILLE: Officials at Carolina Raptor Center announced today that the eaglet hatched by their nesting pair of American bald eagles, Savannah and Derek, will be called “Kinseyâ€� in honor of donors Jim and Deborah Secunda of Belmont.  The eaglet name will work for a male or a female bird, so the center decided to announce the naming before the eaglet’s sex is determined in two or three weeks.

 â€œWe were surprised to be offered the naming rights for CRC’s 2011 eaglet. We decided to name it after my mother’s maiden name, and we are excited we can honor her in this way,â€� said Jim Secunda. “We were so impressed with what we saw at Carolina Raptor Center when we visited a few weeks ago, that we knew we wanted to be more involved there. â€�

 â€œKinseyâ€� will be transferred to a hacking tower in a remote location in Mecklenburg County this week. CRC staffers will continue to feed the eaglet once a day as it gets used to its environment and prepares to be released into the wild. It will spend time flapping its wings to build up flight muscles and growing in the final feathers before the doors are opened and it fledges.  There are no current plans to place a tracking device on the eaglet.

Jim and Deborah Secunda are the lead donors in an operating support campaign, “Eaglets, Orphans and Kids,� that is slated to reach its first milestone on April 30, 2011, by hitting the 90-day $102,000 goal.

 The eaglet, “Kinsey,â€� is the surviving sibling of two eaglets born at Carolina Raptor Center on March 4. No cause of death has been determined for the deceased eaglet that lived almost 4 weeks and passed away early in the morning on Thursday, March 31.

Love this, Jeanne! Thanks!

I'm disappointed that he's still going over there.  Poor Beauty.

Poor Lady Pefa.

She was Beauty's mate first. I have a few words for him but I can't say them here.

I didn't know Quest had a scuffle with another female in Port Colborne last year. Wow, she really wanted that nest.

That was news to me too, Donna.

Great pictures, Paul!

Yaaaayyyy!

April 19 – Owlet no. 4 has cleaned-up well and does not appears as though he/she will benefit from additional medical treatment, so the plan is to return no. 4 to the nest tonight.

 

the only bird sitting up is the dead one

 

Oh she looks fabulous! 

She sure does!

I just watched the video about Quest and Kendal-it was great (although a little x-rated at times)!  Thanks, Carly!   

The Stone Owl laid her first egg this AM!!   

 

Is is a wonderful story!  I love the picture of Kendal flying in with takeout for Quest!  Too bad our own Rochester paper didn't cover the story.   Quest's legacy can be traced back here...come on D and C, give Quest's story some coverage!

I agree, Margaret!  Where is the local media about this great story?
