And, back at NBG, Dad has been seen in the company of an adult and a sub-adult Bald Eagle.  The sub-adult "dirty" bird (not completely white head yet) landed in the original nest!

NX Update:

September 22: NX has settled in on the banks of the Little Wicomico River in Northumberland County. The stand of trees she is favoring borders fields rather than heavy human-occupied territory, and she has a small inlet nearby in which to fish.



We think it is time to take a look at where her journey has taken her over the last 23 days. She is currently 62 miles from her release location in Charles City, Virginia. In her travels she has visited seven counties, crossed one major river and numerous smaller rivers and streams, been known to frequent areas other tracked eagles have been to, and may have crossed paths with her sister Azalea.

NX Journey So Far


As you can see in the picture above she is very close to Accomack County — where our most recent bald eagle patient was rescued!

We're back just in time for an NX update!

September 26: NX is still enjoying the same stand of trees on the Little Wicomico River in Northumberland County, Virginia. She has crossed the river a few times to visit nearby piers, but otherwise is quite content to remain where she has been for the past week.

Tracking NX

Where is she now?

October 1: NX was able to check in today. Since we heard from her last, she has ventured further inland on the Little Wicomico River to a place called Hansons Cove. It is a heavily wooded area, and her tracks show her flying back and forth to trees on either side of the cove. Her last known position shows that she has returned to her a preferred tree in a more populated zone of the river.
NX spent a few days exploring Hansons Cove on the Little Wicomico River.

September 30: NX did not “phone home” today. On September 28, she was still in the same place along the Little Wicomico River. She may be out of cell phone range, and will check in again when she is back in an area with coverage.

Where is she now?

October 6: After five days without a check-in, NX came back into cell range and today her backpack was able to transmit the details of where she has been. On October 2, at around 11:15am, NX left Hanson’s Cove on the Little Wicomico River in Northumberland, Virginia, and flew roughly 2 miles further north to Vir-Mar Beach, in Virginia’s Northern Neck region. She spent two nights there and during the days explored most of the length of the river before returning to her current home base on the Little Wicomico on October 4.

Chris on the Norfolk forum posted this video of Dad & his new lady arriving...

This is really dark… Sunset was at 6:44PM and this video was taken at 6:51. But they came in together and were chattering. Then they chattered some around the nest. One left (which I missed) and then the other one left. This was my first time meeting the new lady and it was exciting! (0:51):

Forgot to say...check out the great photos posted in the Photographers Nest thread there.  

I'm not posting direct links to the photos because there have been some photos stolen from there and they've asked that we not copy or post them elsewhere.  I cannot believe people can be that rotten to steal someone's hard work.
