Default Ozzie, Harriet and E6


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.

Thanks for the update. 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.

We have a pair down here in the scrub and that baby is flying now. I
saw mom, dad and the chick flying over the river today in the boat.
One adult was flying top cover at 500' or so while and the other two
were skimming the tree tops. Baby seems to be getting the hang of it.



According to the people who have the website and webcam that Wayne got
me hooked on, the baby eagles have a 50/50 chance of surviving in the
first year after leaving the nest.

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.
