MŪSU LIGZDA ir briesmās! Neilgi pirms 18.00 piektdienas vakarā (24.03.2017) kļuva skaidrs, ka trio ligzdai uzbrūk svešs ērglis. Aizsargājot ligzdu, viens no mūsu trio cīnījās ārpus ligzdas un neatgriezās. Projekta dalībnieki Eds Brittons un Rasels Engelke izmeklēja visu teritoriju,diemžēl, nevarēja atrast ērgli. Ir divi atlikušie pieaugušie, kuri, šķiet, būtu Valor I un Valor II. Valor II sēdēja ligzdā visu nakti un Valor I nomainīja viņu šorīt. Divi pieaugušie bija kokos pie ligzdas, bet meklēšanas aktivitātes mežā viņiem radīja stresu, mēs ceram, ka viņi rūpējas par saviem mazuļiem, kā viņi to darīja pa nakti un šorīt. Mēs nevaram dot jums vairāk atbilžu un skaidrojumu par iespējamajiem rezultātiem. Daba var būt nežēlīga. Mēs saprotam tos, kas var vēlēties neskatīties notikumus ligzdā. Kamera ir izslēgta!

OUR NEST IS IN DISTRESS! Shortly before 6 PM Friday evening it became apparent that the Trio Nest was under attack from another eagle. In the course of protecting the nest one of our Trio engaged with the outside eagle. It gradually became apparent that one of our eagles did not return to the nest. Thanks to USFWS Savanna District Manager, Ed Britton and Assistant District Manager Russell Engelke for their efforts in searching the entire area to attempt to locate the eagle. Unfortuantely, they were not able to find the eagle. There are two remaining adults who appear to be Valor I and Valor II. Valor II sat on the nest all night and Valor I relieved him this morning. The two adults are in trees near the nest but the search activity in the woods caused them distress and perhaps their move to vantage points off nest. It is our hope that they will care for their young as they did overnight and this morning. We are in uncharted territory ourselves and cannot give you more anwers, explamations or possible outcomes. NATURE CAN BE CRUEL. We understand those who may wish to avert their eyes from the nest. Bonnie THE CAM HAS BEEN TURNED OFF!
