![]() Thanks a lot Wayne. You got me addicted to watching the drama with the eagle nest down your way. :-) I check it once or twice a day to see how the little E6 offspring is doing. He/she "branched" on March 8th. Branching is when they flap their wings and hop out of the nest for the first time to a branch close to the nest. "Fledging" (taking off and flying for the first time) usually occurs 2-3 weeks after the first "branching". Ozzie and Harriet (the parents) have been sharing the tasks of teaching, maintaining the nest and hunting for food to feed E6. Ozzie is the primary hunter. Harriet prunes E6, feeds him/her the food that Ozzie delivers and concentrates on nest keeping. Yesterday Ozzie disappeared. It appears he was injured somehow and recovered by a non-profit organization called CROW that treats, cares for and rehabilitates injured birds. Ozzie has been identified as the one CROW recovered and determined he has a broken wing and will require a few weeks of rehab. So, now the drama is on to see if Harriet picks up the slack for the hunting and food delivery tasks for E6. |

I read on the news that an injured eagle had been found but didn't know it was Ozzie. Hope he makes a good recovery. It's facinating to watch thie whole nesting, hatching and child rearing routine. My guess is that Harriet will do just fine as long as nothing happens to her. She'll be on her own however since eagles don't seem to socialize outside their family circle. |

Here in cornfield county we don't have any bald eagles but the area is loaded with Hawks and owls. Really a treat to listen to the hoot owls in the woods at night.
