I know-I hope they are OK too.

Both Pale Male and Opera Star, the 3rd fledgling, were both seen yesterday and are doing well. Zena hasn't been seen lately but they say she's been laying low since the kids fledged and that it's not unusual. I remember Lima did the same thing last year

That's good news, thanx

Odd that the 3rd didn't get any poison or mom. Glad they are doing well, thanks.

Everyone was surprised that only 2 were affected-just the luck of the draw. It's said that Pale Male tends to prefer a pigeon diet so probably why he's been around for 21 yrs!

Some folks have been inquiring about Pale Male's fledglings we are currently treating for poisoning. The first one that came in on Sunday has shown much improvement . It has been acting and appearing normal , self feeding aggressively and has become more active each day. We will redo bloodwork after this weekend to check all the levels and make a decision. The second has not recovered nearly as well as its sibling yet . It still appears lethargic at times , eyes closed during the day and head tucked under its wings . It still gets cut up meals twice a day with its medication as it doesn't eat with gusto like we would like to see . It was out there about 5 days longer than its sibling without medication to reverse the effects so has some catching up to do. We will report any changes here as soon as we have anything to report. Thank you all for the support we have received from various contacts we know and many we did not before this time concerned about these yougsters and the rest of our wildlife community as well.

Thanks-I've been wondering how they're doing.  Hopefully, the second one will also show improvement with time.

I hope they both make it!

The 2 palemale offspring are doing better and are now outside in a flight cage. The first one rescued is much improved and alert and flying well while its sibling , the second one is still not quite right appearing lethargic and sleepy at times. It was about 5 days longer in the park without medication so hopefully just needs some more time to catch up.

Zena, Pale Male's mate, has been missing for 2 weeks and Lincoln Karim fears that she is dead.  The last time she was seen, she was watching her sick baby in a nearby tree.  2 of PM's babies are at WINORR suffering from secondary rodenticide poisoning and PM's life could be in jeopardy as he's been seen the past few days eating rats from the same area where the rat poison is being used.  Please consider signing the petition that Lincoln has posted on his website to see if the deaths of these Hawks from secondary rodenticide poisoning can be stopped:
