Ed Clark, WCV:
I had lunch with some of the Game Department guys who were in the boat... They said the other birds did great, from their vantage point..... We are very confident that all are fine. In fact, NX probably would have been fine, if we had just left her there, but we opted to err on the side of being sure.... as we have from Day One.

Official post...she was handled extra because they put a transmitter on her...
Ed Clark, WCV:
Good afternoon all..... I'm in the car, on the way back to WCV... I know the chat has exploded with speculation about NX.... She is FINE. She is NOT injured in any way. She got overheated with the extra handling, and since it was the middle of the day.... we decided not to push her further or harder today.... Her flight was strong and capable, and it took the whole team quite a while to catch her... You should see the team..... They were soaked.... We anticipate keeping her for a few more days, then when she's re-released, we'll do it early in the day, when the temps are 20 degrees cooler....

Whoa - someone who is attending the Eagle Release just flew in on a helicopter! No joke! These eagles ARE rockstars!  Found this on FB! WHAT!! I think it might have been Ed Clark who came by helicopter. The eaglets were late-they took a wrong turn & got lost. NX had to be returned to care. She wasn't injured-just hot, tired & stressed and couldn't get any altitude. |

Pefa is not a keyword for reasons previously given.
Carrie gets credit for the close ups of the eagle and bear taken with her new camera.
Excellent job Carrie! |

This is the schedule...btw, there are 2 other eaglets being released. They will go first since they have flown in the wild before, then the 3 NBG eaglets. Ed Clark said there will probably be about 15 minutes between birds...
A note about today’s broadcast:
8:00 a.m.: The five young Bald Eagles that will be released tomorrow will be caught. The catch-up crew (same as the weigh-in crew) will be starting with the three Norfolk birds and then will be catching the two eagles in the other flight pen. As each bird is caught, it will be taken down to the hospital to be “bumpered” and placed into a transport crate. The “bumpering” is something that’s done to keep the eagles’ wrist areas padded and protected during transport. The two eagles, #1714 and #1235, will be banded.
9:00 a.m.: Feed from the Wildlife Center cam to WVEC will stop.
11:00 a.m.: WVEC’s live streaming of the release will begin [same website address]. DGIF Biologist Steve Living will be narrating the release.
WVEC’s moderated discussion will continue throughout the remainder of the week.
And please join us …
Thursday, July 28, 9:00 a.m.: The Wildlife Center will begin streaming the Wildlife Center Animal Cam. Please look for the “animal cam” link on the front page of the Wildlife Center’s website at that time. A moderated discussion will also be launched at that point, though likely minimal discussion will take place on Thursday/Friday as the WVEC discussion wraps up.

Donna - Have you seen Shaky's close up of the eagle on Twitter (not forum topic)? He's definitely in Alaska.
Let's see if this works...from Shaky's twitter feed...  |
