I think he should have checked his notes before speaking this time...or he was misquoted...Craig Koppie is truly an expert. Mariah & Kaver hatched & fledged 5 successfully 4 times...2003, 2004, 2005, 2008.

Wow!  Thanks, Ei.  Four times?  Amazing!

Oh, poor sweetie.   Again, I am glad an effort was made to save him or her.  

Interesting to read that the person quoted in the article knows of only three five egg clutches where all five eggs hatched successfully from 1990 through 2014.  I've heard tell of one in Rochester in 2008.  Is he just speaking of Wilmington, or is what happened here in 2008 that rare?

Nice! 

Hmmm...MAK's morning watch report shows (with a photo) that Beauty poohed again at around 7 AM, and it was "lengthy." I hope it was just something she ate yesterday.     

She was pretty stuffed when she settled for the night last night.

She sure was...quite a neck pillow! 

Good to hear!

You poohed on my eggs...I ain't getting up...ever again...

Whoa, looks like she gave him a really nasty look when he finally left.   

Love those arrival shots!

Oh, that is SO COOL!

Awesome!   

Puts things in perspective well.  Thanks, Ei.

YAY!!  Thanks, Kris!!

Nice!   

Oh!  And there are two hatchlings too!  I wonder if somebody teaches a course on Edgar Allan Poe at Wellesley.  This nest could come in handy with that.    Thanks, Donna. 

Early switch today!

Wow!  Trouble sleeping, Dot.ca?

Oh my!  I wish success to them all!   

O-o-o-o-h, very sad.     It's good to know that everyone tried their best, though, and that the other removed eyas is doing well.
