08.05 mammīte piegādā kaut kāda dzīvnieka paliekas, mazais nepacietīgs

Is this a joke! This is the most invasive banding I ever saw!
Fran Everett: Es personiski redzu šo ballītes atmosfēru kā traucējošu.Tammie Albrecht
I normally don’t put my two cents in on stuff like this...but a few things to consider. First and foremost the eaglet never looked stressed & I’m sure the handlers know what to look for. This baby was actually calm considering. Secondly (& this is just how I feel being a rehabber) I feel like there were way too many people there on sight. When we release a raptor we have a very limited amount of people there and are all asked to be as quiet as possible. Third...(I’m also a photographer) I would have brought my long lens...70-200mm so I wouldn’t be right in the eaglets face. Having said this though...the photos of the eaglet are important, but probably not all the photo ops. Usually when we release and the finder wants a picture a rehabber will hold the hawk and take a picture with the person so only one person is handling the bird. I’m all for the pictures with the people who have helped like electric company and the finder...but not to pass around to everyone;) And of course I will never believe in petting a wild animal...that’s just me...never!
Last but not least, Mamma took baby back no problem so that’s all I am happy about;)
Patty Kerr: ES piekrītu. Es nekad neesmu redzējusi, ka gredzenošanas process notiktu šādi. Esmu satriekta. Tas jau ir traumatiski, ka ērglis ir apsēsts un pēc tam nodots citiem, pretīgi. Viņiem ir jāmācās no cilvēkiem, kuri ērgļus gredzeno Katalīnā. Īsti profesionāļi, kas visu izdarīja klusi un precīzi.Fran Everett
Tammie Albrecht thank you for your perspective. I personally found the party atmosphere disturbing.
Fran Everett: Daži ir par daudz. Tikai vienam, varbūt diviem ir jārīkojas cāli. Turēt rokās un glāstīt, lai fotografētu, šķiet daudz. Šodien tur bija daudz cilvēku. Jo īpaši tāpēc, ka mums saka, ka mums nav jāzin, kur atrodas ligzda, jo pārāk daudz cilvēku ap ligzdu nenāk par labu ērgļiem.Patty Kerr
I agree. I have never seen a banding process handled this way. This poor eagle should never have been passed around to anybody and everybody for pictures. I am appalled. It's already traumatic for the eagle to be banded and then to be passed around to others, disgusting. They need to learn from the individuals who banded the eagles in Catalina. True professionals who did everything quietly and precisely.

Debra Tvedt Ashley a few is too many. Only one , perhaps two need to handled chick. Holding and petting for a photo op seems a bit much. There were alot of people there today. Especially since we are told that we cannot know where the nest is as too many people around the nest is not good for the eagles.
Šis ir video, kurā redzams tēviņa pēdējā vizīte uz ligzu. Uzņemts 26.04.22. plkst. 16:35. Viņš neizskatās ievainots vai slims, tikai slēpjas ar noķerto ziemeļu līdaku, pēc tam to nogādāja ligzdā.This is the video of the last sighting of the male on the nest. Taken 4/26/22 at 4:35 pm. He does not appear injured or ill, just hiding with the northern pike he caught, then delivered to the nest.

Intruders
I was very surprised that Nancy was letting the eagle on her branch yesterday and thought why isn’t she chasing it off which raised some questions for me. Is this a new mate? Is this a normal behavior? Is it because Harry isn’t there to help her chase it? I decided to do a little research on the topic.
Nest intrusions is what researchers use and they define it as “when one eagle forcibly interrupts the domestic tranquility of the resident pair of birds.” In this case with Harry being gone it is interrupting Nancy’s peace and routine of raising her chick. She is having to be protector, provider and care taker to the E1.
Nancy is not going to mind the intruder so much and will tolerate as she is on the look out for a potential new mate since eagles are social birds. But Nancy can swing the opposite way and chase away after she has sized up the intruder and warning vocalizations are not working. Nancy did stay close to E1 as she has put so much time and energy into raising. That is her main goal to keep E1 safe.
While the intruder was on the branch. Nancy did not chase him off (I am guessing a him), she sized him up. Kept a watchful eye, not making eye contact and Nancy was okay as long as the intruder stayed on the branch she was okay with it (According to observations and statistics and eagle can get within 1.5 ft before they don’t like it). Why fight when you don’t have too and risk injury so her chick would be unprotective? We also know that the area is full of intruders. Hawks, other eagles, geese, owls, racoons. Nancy is use to interruptions especially at the beginning of the season defending her nest.
Nest intrusions have been increasing by eagles as the population is making a recovery. Sometimes resulting in death of the partner, injury, chick loss. There are even reported case where the partner has been ran off and the adult switches over to the new partner. Who helps raise the chicks.
Eagles who do not have a territory yet like our young visitor are called floaters. These are eagles that are too young to produce a family or does not have a territory yet. They are more gutsy than adult eagles getting close to the nest. I expect Nancy to continue with the warnings calls and maybe adopt an aggressive posture and flying around the nest to keep the floater away. A juvenile intruder is motivated to possible acquire the nest area. Where an adult of breeding age wants the partner and area.
