January 03, 2014 By Salvatore Cardoni Since early December, more than two dozen bald eagles have turned up dead along the banks of the Great Salt Lake, and now wildlife officials in Utah have identified the killer: a rare wintertime outbreak of West Nile virus. The 27 dead eagles contracted the virus after preying on infected waterfowl called eared grebes, which stop at the lake during their annual migration from Canada to Mexico. An additional five bald eagles are responding to treatment for leg paralysis and body tremors at local rehabilitation centers, officials said. West Nile virus typically afflicts birds during warmer months, when the mosquitoes that carry it are active. But Utah had a very warm fall that extended the insects’ breeding season into late October. The birds do not pose a risk to humans, but officials cautioned that people should not handle sick or dead eagles. “People become infected with West Nile virus after being bitten by a mosquito that carries the virus,” JoDee Baker, epidemiologist with the Utah Department of Health, told \"NBC News.\" “Since the mosquitoes that transmit West Nile virus aren’t active in the winter, there’s no risk to the public’s health.\" According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, there were 2,318 confirmed cases of West Nile virus in the U.S. in 2013, with 105 deaths. After soaring back from near extinction in the 1960s, bald eagles were removed from the federal endangered species list in 2007, though they are still protected under the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service estimates more than 9,500 nesting pairs of bald eagles live in the contiguous U.S. Habitat destruction and the contamination of the birds' food source, largely as a consequence of the insecticide DDT, decimated the population half a century ago. Officials estimate that only 475 breeding pairs existed in 1963, down from 100,000 in 1782 when America’s Founding Fathers designated the bird as the national symbol. Officials are not worried that the virus will have long-term effects on the 750 to 1,200 bald eagles that migrate to Utah each winter to feed. “Even though it’s difficult to watch eagles die, the deaths that have and still might occur won’t affect the overall health of the bald eagle population that winters in Utah or the overall population in the United States,” said Leslie McFarlane, a Utah wildlife disease coordinator. http://www.takepart.com/article/2014/01/03/officials-identify-killer-27-bald-eagles-lets-just-say-youll-be-surprised?cmpid=tp-ad-outbrain-general","source":"http://bald-eagles-of-broward-county-florida.17.s1.nabble.com/Officials-Identify-Surprise-as-Killer-of-Eagles-in-Utah-td7573327.html","images":0},{"id":"7574417","topic":"7574417","order":1,"title":"MARCH 5: Male eagle on nest","author":"NewMexiKen","date":"2016-03-05T13:46:02.630000-05:00","nest":"Pembroke Pines BO-002","season":"2015–2016","text":"Al saw both eagles on the nest yesterday (MAR 4) and said one of them settled down rather deep in the nest. Others have noted their presence at the nest several times since the apparent loss of the eaglet and any eggs a few days after the storm on January 17 caused a branch to fall on the nest. This morning Mary Lou and I visited briefly from about 7:55 and watched for about 25 minutes before heading to lead the South Florida Audubon wetlands walk at the library. When we arrived there was an adult towards the left rear and rather deep in the nest, quite certainly the male (Pride, judging by the low forehead and gape which extended only about 1/2 way under his eye). He was tearing at prey and seemed to be eating, but there was no evidence that he was feeding any eaglets. He was not sitting as deep as would be expected during incubation. A second brood is said to be highly unlikely and one parent is not capable of incubating alone. The optimum time for raising young has passed-- by now the eaglets in south Florida are ready for flight. During the unsuccessful breeding season last year, Pride also continued to spend a lot of time on the nest, leading us to think that maybe Jewel had dumped some eggs late in the season. Of course both eaglets would normally be very active finding food for their hungry brood this time of year, and perhaps he is simply following the instinct to continue to guard the nest and bring in food. This interesting behavior bears careful watching and reporting, if anyone gets a chance during the next several days. How persistent is an adult's presence on the nest? How long will both adults continue to visit?","source":"http://bald-eagles-of-broward-county-florida.17.s1.nabble.com/MARCH-5-Male-eagle-on-nest-td7574417.html","images":3},{"id":"7574428","topic":"7574417","order":2,"title":"Re: MARCH 5: Male eagle on nest","author":"NewMexiKen","date":"2016-03-20T13:53:36.210000-04:00","nest":"Pembroke Pines BO-002","season":"2015–2016","text":"I have received some more information on the subject of the incidence of second broods in Florida's Bald Eagles. Bald Eagles rarely breed twice in a season, but this generalization may not apply to some Florida eagles. Reinier Munguia, the new Florida Audubon EagleWatch Coordinator, wrote on Facebook (March 11): This season we are experiencing a high rate of nesting failure. Many birds arrived early, laid eggs that later fail near the end of the incubation period. Others have very skinny eaglets and some have even jumped out of the nest early. These may be the result of \"El Niño\" related weather patterns which for us in Florida included lots of rain, windy conditions and drastic temperature changes in short periods of time. As result water levels are higher than normal which can cause a decline of the food accessible to the adults which in turn may increase the chick mortality due to competition, or simply due to lack of food. On the good side, many eagles are coming back this late to breed. In Polk County I have seen two nesting pairs going back to re-nest this week, which it may sound late but not really. In fact, our last eaglet last year fledged on the last week of June. That same pair failed in december and went back to incubate in April. Please keep on watching your nest, you may be surprised and don't forget to enter your data at auduboncitizenscience.org This information is key for us to make wise decisions on the future protection of the birds, or when dealing with issues that may affect our nesting eagles. = = = = Billi Wagner, of Indian River County, wrote (MAR 16): Sorry you have 2 years in a row of not producing fledglings. If you're wondering why he is still incubating, one nest here a few years ago had a male incubating for 2 months! I went back over and over and could not figure it out. I think Linda (was head of Eaglewatch in those days) explained to me that the original egg(s) were not viable, but the male can and will sit there even though they will never hatch. He does not give up easily. In subsequent years they have raised young, but failed to even lay eggs this season. I don't know about any other counties, but we are having a bad year in Indian River County The pair above and 2 other pairs didn't lay eggs, another nest's eaglet perished in the nest beginning of March (the parents didn't seem to feed it, but they raised THREE last season), and in another nest the eaglet(s) was/were predated (Great Horned probably).

It's the end of an eagle era. Ozzie, one-half of internet sensation couple Ozzie and Harriet, died Wednesday, according to the Center for the Rehabilitation of Wildlife on Sanibel Island, Fla. Ozzie and Harriet are thought to have first nested in Fort Myers, Fla., in the early 1990s. That timeframe would make Ozzie and Harriet 25 years old or older, and the average lifespan of an eagle in the wild is about 20 years. Hundreds of comments had been posted within minutes of the announcement. The hospital staff was not available for comment because \"Ozzie was beloved patient and this is a difficult time for staff and that spent countless hours caring for him.\" A second male moved into Ozzie's territory earlier this year and is apparently Harriet's new mate. Bald eagles typically mate for life but will mate with another eagle if their partner dies or is missing. Called by some eagle fans \"The Frequent Visitor,\" the younger eagle apparently fought with Ozzie, sending the older eagle to the hospital for a second time this year. Ozzie and Harriet have been watched by millions of viewers across the world in recent years, after a North Fort Myers family placed streaming video cameras near their nests. Eagle mating season typically starts here in October, with any living hatchlings fledging the next spring.

On the shoreline he spotted a red-necked stint, the first time this species has been seen and documented in the Sunshine State. “What a great find Viktor!” was the salute on limeybirder.wordpress.com. The red-necked stint is a tiny shorebird in the sandpiper family that breeds in Siberian Asia and parts of western Alaska. It migrates thousands of miles to winter in east India and Taiwan south through Australia and New Zealand. In the continental Untied States, the species has been spotted along the Pacific coast and in New England and New Jersey. And in July 2012, a red-necked stint caused a big stir when one was discovered by a national wildlife refuge biologist in Kansas. But never before had one been seen and documented anywhere near Florida. This bird in the Keys may have remained anonymous — perhaps to be seen only by beachgoers who had no idea what type of bird it was or the magnitude of its existence here — if not for the eagle eyes and knowledge of Ortman. He got up in the wee morning hours of July 16 to look for nighthawks and mangrove cuckoos. After driving to the end of Boca Chica Road, he walked about half a mile down a paved path that runs between the ocean shoreline and a runway at Naval Air Station Key West. On the shore across from a telephone poll that looks like a cross, he saw a tiny wading bird that stood out from the others because of its “brilliant red throat.” He knew immediately it was a red-necked stint. Years earlier he had seen the species many times while in Siberia to help a Russian team of ornithologists conduct survey work on breeding birds. After looking up information about the red-necked stint on his phone, Ortman learned just how big a discovery it would be to the birding world. “My initial reaction was to be really nervous that I had made a mistake,” he said. “At the same time, a biologist came by to survey loggerhead turtle nests. I asked the biologist to wait a second, and not walk by the bird and scare it away, so I could look at it a bit more closely.” As it turned out, the bird was not shy or skittish. It hung around, allowing Ortman to take its picture and to confirm it was indeed a red-necked stint. The species’ breeding plumage is reddish in color, distinguishing it from its North American relatives. Within hours, the “rare bird alert” was posted on several birding websites. Bird watchers from around Florida and even a retired couple from Iowa began flocking to the Keys to try to see the red-necked stint for themselves. They came armed with binoculars, scopes and cameras with long lenses. Many wore floppy hats to ward off the sun and try to stay cool in the 90 degree heat and humidity. Barbara Brown of Des Moines was getting laundry out of the dryer when her husband, Don, told her: “I’m going down to Key West. Want to come along?” They hopped on a plane the same day so that Don Brown could try to make the red-necked stint No. 734 on his life list of North American birds. Wes Biggs, who said he has the record for Florida birds seen at 477, made the trip from Orlando on Friday, two days after the initial spotting. After several hours of searching, he walked back to his car disappointed. “The guy who’s in second place [Paul Sykes] missed it yesterday,” Biggs said. “But the guy in third place picked him up. Damn him, Bob Wallace. I think he’s about 14 or 15 birds behind me now.” Biggs said Sykes drove down from Watkinsville, Ga., and just missed seeing the red-necked stint Thursday morning. “He told me he couldn’t stay another day because his grandson is in a big three-day swim meet in Gainesville, and if he doesn’t get there, his wife will kill him,” Biggs said. The last time there was this much buzz about a bird in the Keys was March 2007, when two retirees spotted a loggerhead kingbird at Fort Zachary Taylor Historic State Park. It was the first time that species had ever been seen in the United States. Birders from at least 25 states made the trek to Key West to see the loggerhead kingbird, which has a creamy underside, squared-off tail and dry rattle call. In the Keys, most “vagrants,” the terminology birders use for birds that are found outside their normal range, come from the Caribbean. That was the case with the loggerhead kingbird, believed to have flown 90-plus miles from Cuba. The red-necked stint, a type of sandpiper that’s about 6 1/2 inches long, was much farther off course, by thousands of miles. Usually, it’s a good navigator. In a 1996 article about red-necked stints in the Melbourne, Australia-based magazine The Age, ornithologist Dr. Clive Minton said: “Unfazed by mountains, sea or deserts, the birds fly with meticulous accuracy in terms of the direction and time. They always come back to exactly the same spot year after year.” Scientists say the red-necked stint uses the sun, the stars, the moon and possibly the earth’s magnetic field to navigate. But somehow, maybe due to stormy weather, birders say this one bird got lost. “He just probably got tangled up with the wrong crowd, even though his grandma told him not to do so,” said John Hintermiser, 71, who began watching birds when he was 7. Well-known bird guide Larry Manfredi of Homestead added: “He was hanging around with the wrong flock.” Manfredi said he saw the species, then called the roufus-necked stint, in 1994 at Attu Island. The westernmost of Alaska’s Aleutian Islands, it was invaded by the Japanese during World War II. “It was my 600th bird,” he said. But for hardcore birders, seeing a bird out of its normal range is a big deal. So he and his 13-year-old son Philip were among the 25 or so bird watchers who came to look for the bird on Friday. They also left disappointed that day. The bird failed to make an appearance again on Saturday, prompting many to think the bird had either left or died. “I had kind of given up hope of seeing it after three tries,” said Mark Hedden, a Key West-based international birding guide and syndicated birding columnist. But Sunday afternoon Hedden got a call from Manfredi that the bird was back. Both men sprung into action. Hedden said he arrived just in time —10 minutes before a large thunderstorm rolled in —to see the bird foraging in the seaweed line. “We humans think of it as stinky seaweed, but these guys think of it as the Olive Garden,” he said. “They eat the bugs and sea life that live in the seaweed.” Manfredi and his son gave up tickets for the Marlins-Giants baseball game to make the 252-mile roundtrip for the fourth time in four days. “It was a real nailbiter on the way down, knowing that the bird was still being seen,” Manfredi said. They hit heavy traffic, making the trip a long four hours. Both were worried that the storm had chased the bird away. But when they arrived, it was still there. “Persistence pays off,” Manfredi said. The bird also was back at the same location around 3:30 Monday. How long it will stick around, nobody knows.

One of the eagles was in the nest facing west for the entire time. Since I did not see the other eagle during this time period, I could not tell the sex of the eagle in the nest. There was absolutely no wind to speak of, but because of the recent rainfall, humidity was very high. I guess this fact, combined with the possibility of cached food in the nest, caused what seemed to be a high concentration of gnats pestering the eagle in the nest. This is my opinion because the eagle would not stop shaking its head from side to side.

It was a typical Wednesday at the National Eagle Repository, the only place where American Indians can legally obtain bald and golden eagles from the federal government for traditional ceremonies. Through a series of federal acts dating to the 1940s, bald and golden eagles have been fiercely protected. It is illegal to hunt the birds and also to collect feathers or eagle parts without the proper permit. And so, for more than 30 years, this United States Fish and Wildlife Service program has been shipping thousands of eagle carcasses and parts to American Indians, who view the animals as sacred. But a growing backlog of applications, and a slew of recent court battles over when American Indians can lawfully obtain eagles on their own, has raised questions about whether the repository is sufficient. Currently, tribal members seeking an immature golden eagle, the most coveted bird, must wait about four and a half years. Wait times for a bald eagle are two years. Despite the efforts by the Wildlife Service to ship animals as swiftly as possible, the waiting list has swelled to more than 6,000 applications. “More and more of our young people are going back to our spiritual way of life, and we can’t do our ceremonies without the eagles,” said Lee Plenty Wolf, a member of the Oglala Sioux tribe who lives in Fort Collins, Colo., and received a bald eagle on April 26 after waiting almost three years. Federal law, however, forbids anyone without a specialized permit who finds a dead eagle or eagle feathers from taking them. Each week on average, the repository receives dozens of dead eagles or parts sent from across the country by state and federal wildlife officers. Some have died naturally; others were roadkill or electrocuted by power lines. But with 4,500 requests coming in each year, the repository simply does not have enough eagles, said Ms. Atencio, who supervises the warehouse, in an old Army maintenance building. “It’s a supply and demand issue, and we need more supply,” she said. “It’s a double-edged sword. To fill all the requests in a timely manner means we need more dead birds.” Having to wait so long to use eagles in religious ceremonies has become a source of frustration for many tribes. “Eagles are sacred to us, so of course we are interested in eagle protection,” said Melissa Holds the Enemy, a lawyer for the Crow tribe in Montana. “But there is a huge disconnect that is not being addressed. Protecting eagles and accommodating Indian religious freedoms do not need to conflict with one another.” Driven by the delays, the Crow have been fashioning a plan to present to Fish and Wildlife officials that would allow tribal members with permits to keep dead eagles found on tribal land, Ms. Holds the Enemy said. Daniel M. Ashe, director of the Fish and Wildlife Service, said in an e-mail that the agency was especially sensitive to American Indians’ religious needs and recently streamlined the application process to reduce wait times. Mr. Ashe also cited a special program that has, in recent years, allowed five tribes to keep injured eagles that could not be released in the wild. The tribes are permitted to distribute naturally molted feathers for ceremonial use, but cannot kill the birds. “We understand the importance of eagles to the religious beliefs of tribal members, and we are committed to doing everything we can, within the boundaries of federal law and our mandate to ensure healthy eagle populations in the wild, to improve tribes’ access to eagles for religious purposes,” he said. Debate over the issue has also played out in courtrooms of late. In 2005, a Northern Arapaho man, Winslow Friday, was prosecuted for killing a bald eagle on tribal land. Mr. Friday’s lawyer, John Carlson, argued that the repository’s wait time was intolerably long and that when birds were sent to tribe members, they were often too badly burned or decomposed for use. A federal judge in Wyoming, William F. Downes, dismissed the charge against Mr. Friday. But the United States Court of Appeals for the 10th Circuit, in Denver, overturned the ruling. Mr. Friday eventually pleaded guilty in tribal court and paid a $2,500 fine. In March, the Fish and Wildlife Service granted the Northern Arapaho a permit to “take,” or kill, two bald eagles for religious purposes. The tribe, which initially applied for the permit more than two years ago, had filed a federal lawsuit in 2011 saying the process was taking too long. Applications for such permits are rare. On March 30, a lawyer for the Northern Arapaho filed an amended complaint in federal court in Cheyenne, Wyo., calling the permit “a sham” because it forced the tribe to obtain the eagles off its reservation, which left tribal members subject to prosecution under state law. According to Jerome Ford, assistant director of the Wildlife Service’s migratory bird program, a joint tribal statute between the Eastern Shoshone tribe and the Northern Arapaho, who share the Wind River Reservation, prohibits the taking of eagles on the actual reservation. The permit was “the only option that did not create a conflict” between the two tribes, he said. As that case continues, Fish and Wildlife officials planned to meet this summer with tribal governments to figure out ways to speed the process for receiving eagle feathers. “This is an issue across all tribal nations,” said Myron Pourier, who sits on the executive board for the Oglala Sioux tribe in South Dakota, which hopes to build its own eagle repository. “All of them are going through the same federal red tape when they shouldn’t be. Especially when this is a part of our way of life.”","source":"http://bald-eagles-of-broward-county-florida.17.s1.nabble.com/A-Repository-for-Eagles-Finds-Itself-In-Demand-td7530168.html","images":0},{"id":"5803839","topic":"5803839","order":1,"title":"Onset of incubation?

She seemed to be perhaps pushing or turning the egg(s) as when she went low in the nest again it was more of a centered/slightly right position. I don't know if they do this.....but her position on the nest moved. She repositioned at about half hour intervals. At about 11:30 she got up again and went to the right side of the nest....stood on the rim facing the center of the nest and \"pooped\" over the side into the woods. We thought she would lay back down but she surprised us and took off through the woods, landing on the favored perch to the left of the nest. She stayed there only long enough to turn around and then immediately flew back to the nest and went down so she was completely hidden again. We were hoping to see the nest exchange like last year when one eagle would fly in and the other take off. Four hours seemed like a long time for one to be on the nest without relief and I can't remember from last year the average time period for an incubation shift. We stayed until noon with no more views or activity. I have been saying \"she\" as in our photos the right tail feathers did not have the brown tip that the male had last year.

Below is a great article I think you should post to educate folks. This article was authored by the Iowa Department of Natural Resources. Phil Bald Eagle Nest Monitoring Etiquette For many Bald Eagle enthusiasts there is little more exciting than watching their favorite birds become parents and raise young. Seeing our national symbol go through the process of nesting is a thrilling and satisfying experience. These once endangered birds have been successful enough at raising eaglets to be removed from the Endangered Species list. That being said, Bald Eagles remain protected by the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act and the Migratory Bird Treaty Act. They are also, as a species, sensitive to human activity. Too much disturbance to nesting eagles can have a negative impact on nest success. The last thing any Bald Eagle lover would want is to unintentionally cause a nest to fail or to produce fewer young. Fortunately, there are precautions that you as a citizen scientist can take to limit the amount of stress you cause the birds that you are monitoring. Disturbance is defined as any activity that changes an eagle’s behavior. For example, if an eagle stops preening to study you then you have disturbed the eagle. Disturbances fall on a spectrum from minor (such as in the example above) to major (flushing from the nest). The impact of disturbance on nest success can also vary from minor to major, up to causing a nest to fail, and frequent disturbance can cause a cumulative effect, meaning that frequent minor disruptions can be as problematic as infrequent major disturbances. Most of the time an eagle’s behavior will tell you that he/she is uncomfortable long before the point of flushing, and learning these behavioral cues will help you know when your behavior is causing stress to the birds. The first sign of agitation to watch for is a simple change in eagle behavior, such as the example above. If a bird does not stop what he is doing as you approach, he is probably not bothered by you. If he does stop what he is doing but resumes his activity after giving you a once over, you are also probably not bothering him and so are safe to continue observing. If, however, the bird does not resume his task or becomes more agitated you should back away until the eagle becomes comfortable again. An eagle that is alarmed by your presence will progress from simply watching you to sitting up in an alert posture and may begin vocalizing. As the bird’s agitation increases it might start shifting in the nest/on its perch, raising its wings, leaning forward and preparing to fly and otherwise looking anxious until it finally flushes from the nest. Just like people, eagles have different comfort levels when it comes to disruption. Some birds seem unfazed by hikers walking within 100 feet of a nest while others are bothered to the point of flushing by any human activity within 1000 meters. Anecdotal observation seems to indicate that the eagles that choose to nest in close proximity to humans or areas with lots of human use are generally more tolerant of human activity while those birds that choose remote territories are more sensitive to disturbance. Nest stage also seems to affect how eagles respond to human activity. For example, eagles seem to have their lowest threshold for disturbance during courtship, pair formation and nest building. If we make the birds acutely uncomfortable during that critical period they are much more likely to give up on their site than they would be if disturbed when the eaglets are a few weeks old. Given these variations in behavior, there are some general guidelines for reducing disturbance that you can adjust based on the habits of each nesting pair. The United States Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) recommended that active nest sites not be approached beyond a distance of 330 feet. In addition, you should do your best to have some sort of screen or blind between you and the nest, as research shows that eagles are more likely to be bothered by an activity when it happens in full view. Of course, you as an observer need a clear view of the nest to gather accurate data about what the eagles are doing, so you’ll need to work out a balance between seeing the nest and staying out of sight. Sometimes a road will offer an ideal vantage point for viewing a nest. In general, if a pair knew about a human activity prior to moving in and still chose the site, they will be tolerant of that activity, and that certainly applies to road traffic. In addition, birds in general seem to be less bothered by people in a car than people outside of one, and so cars make excellent bird blinds. If there is a place along a road that provides both a safe place for you to park and a view of the nest, you probably have found a great observation point. If you prefer to use a spotting scope over binoculars to watch the nest, window mounts are a fairly inexpensive and practical way to use your scope from inside your car. In some situations you might be able to climb out of your car and stand with the car between you and the nest, which still creates a sight buffer between you and the birds while giving you more range of motion and perhaps an easier view of the nest. As before, however, be sure that you park in such a way as to provide no danger to yourself or any other motorists. If the nest is not visible from the road or is remote enough that no roads take you within viewing distance of the nest, you might want to consider scouting out a good place to view the nest prior to the nesting season, keeping the USFWS buffer distance of 330 feet in mind and taking into account how the landscape changes when the trees have leaves. Again, take your cues from the eagles and adjust your viewing spot accordingly. With prior planning, an understanding of eagle behavior and attention to those behavioral cues, you can have a successful and enjoyable nest monitoring experience. Things to keep in mind are: Sensitivity to disturbance varies amongst individuals and across regions. Learn about the eagles in your region and adjust these guidelines accordingly. As a rule nesting eagles will be more sensitive to disturbance early in the nesting process; during nest building and incubation; be especially careful to avoid disturbance during this time. Eagles seem to be most alarmed by disturbances they can see; provide a visual buffer between you and the birds. Cars make excellent blinds. Respect a distance buffer using 330 feet as a rough starting point. If the eagles in your region prefer a much larger physical distance from humans, learn what constitutes a comfortable distance for those birds. In all cases, use the birds’ behavior as your guide and adjust your distance accordingly.

But up in the treetops, it's a different matter. Bald eagles Elliott and Eloise have been par for the course at the Tennessee club for the past three and a half years, scoring highly with both local and global audiences thanks to a camera installed by their nest in a pine tree behind the 10th green. \"The eagles came in and started building a nest in December 2010,\" explains golf course superintendent Paul Carter. \"The first year they had two eaglets and both fledged successfully. We were just watching them from the ground not really knowing what was going on until about mid-May when two black heads popped up out of the nest.\"... (FULL STORY AND VIDEO HERE) ...In addition to measures that protect wildlife populations, Carter has overseen a program which has reduced the amount of mowing and water use.

Darned if that side of the nest isn't nearly always more hidden from camera biew by the pine needles from branches hanging down from above of from the side. I'll bet I had 60 photos from yesterday alone that demonstrated the eaglet almost completey exposed at or even above the rim of the nest, flapping its wings and throwing back its head and looking both east and west, but all were so superimposed with pine needles that they were either blurred or just covered up.

By documenting our observations here on the FORUM, we have added to the fund of knowledge about the new phenomenon of urban Bald Eagles. It will be important for us to determine just how long the fledglings stay at the nest. How many days after fledging do they return to sleep on the nest? When do they finally disappear, to wander to lands more or less far to the north? How does their behavior change toward each other, whether nestmates to each other or to parents, and between the adults? While the watching is now not as exciting, it is nevertheless interesting. Lest we lose sight of the importance of our role in protecting this nest, I suggest we gradually turn our efforts towards assuring that the eagles have a future in Pembroke Pines. Happily, in my opinion at least, Pembroke Pines is already a \"bird sanctuary\" of sorts. The new Nature Center at the West Pines Soccer Park is only a short distance to the east of the nest. You may have seen my photos of deer and Black-necked Stilts at that location. There is every reason to believe that the City will continue its track record. So far, the measures to protect the nest have been temporary: the plastic fence, the \"No Trespassing,\" \"No Parking\" and \"Eagle Nesting Area\" signs, the temporary chain link fence, the traffic cones, and the helpful police officers that let people know that violators can face punishment. Now is the time for us to unite to assure that more permanent safeguards are put in place. I believe a high priority should be given to protecting the nest against wild fire. We have seen the devastation caused by Melaleuca forest fires, even in the past couple of weeks. A fire could easily \"ladder\" up to the nest tree, destroying it in an instant. Therefore, I have created a new Web page devoted to a vision that ultimately could include a Pembroke Pines Bald Eagle sanctuary. Realistically, the first steps must be small.

Probably the most critical time for the eagles is the pre-flight stage. This occurs when the eaglets begin \"helicoptering\" and walking out on the branches at about 10 weeks of age. If startled or frightened at this time, they may fall to the ground before they have the ability to fly. Unless they are able to climb back up to the nest, they will starve or fall prey to predators, as the thick growth around the nest may impede the ability of the adults to fly to their aid. Since our eaglets are now a little over seven weeks old, we can expect them to be most vulnerable around the middle to the end of March. In past seasons they have fledged at about 11 weeks, which would be March 26. We can then expect the fledglings to return to the nest within a day or two to be fed, and continue to be dependent on food at the nest for about another 6-8 weeks as they gradually learn to feed themselves by taking increasingly long flights from the nest tree. FDOT has provided the revised Construction Schedule for Pines Blvd. It is available at this link (PDF): http://www.rosyfinch.com/PinesBlvdConstructionRevised.pdf To view the schedule you must enlarge the view considerably and then navigate to the pertinent areas where construction is delayed or restricted. Reference numbers are noted below. The long green bar extending from now until May 15th at the middle of the first page is, for the eagles, the most important feature of the schedule. The revision includes measures to avoid undue disturbance of the area in front of the eagle nest until May 15th. As a further precaution, the contractor will not stage construction equipment in the dead-end on the south side of the SW 209th Avenue intersection. Activity Id Numbers, first right hand column, P117, P118, P119,P119.2, P142, P230, P230.5 AND P223 are related to the construction work from station 44+00 to station 57+00 (restricted area). The start and end date for each activities are shown on columns 4 and 5.","source":"http://bald-eagles-of-broward-county-florida.17.s1.nabble.com/Pines-Boulevard-resurfacing-concerns-addressed-by-FDOT-td6077453.html","images":0},{"id":"7575204","topic":"7575204","order":1,"title":"Re: 01.27.2019 Rainy Day Sightings","author":"Stephanie5056","date":"2019-01-27T17:01:52-05:00","nest":"Quiet Waters / Deerfield","season":"","text":"I always watch from the Sawgrass.

Before I pulled up on the nest site, I saw what I believe to be the male fly in from the direction of the nest and land in the top of one of the cypress trees on the north side of the retention pond. I stopped to snap a couple of pictures and then pulled up to the nest. The female arrived at about the same time I did and started to feed the chick(s). I watched for about 8 minutes until the rain started to come down a little harder, so I packed up and had just gotten back in the car, when the male showed up. So I got the gear back out and grabbed a few more photos. He only hung around for about a minute before he flew off again. I also got to explore Quiet Waters Park a bit. I've never been in the park before, and I walked around for quite a while. I found this osprey having breakfast.

They said they had received a second call within minutes after mine from someone who gave them the exact location. Hellene never got back to me but at 2:30 PM she messaged Liza Morffiz and asked for my phone number. By then she was probably on her way to the nest. To her credit, Barbara in Deerfield BSO called me again at 2:43 PM just to follow up and let me know that the location was secured and some responders were on site.

As it so happened, there was a couple that had pulled off the highway and were irresponsibly standing directly under the nest taking photos (seriously agitating the adults) who were nearly struck. They were, however, able to report to the group that there was a single, newly hatched chick that had survived the fall. We were able to quickly get in touch with one of the park naturalists who was on his way out to the chick as we left (we could not get out there as we were on the other side of the boundary fence).","source":"http://bald-eagles-of-broward-county-florida.17.s1.nabble.com/JAN-23-Deerfield-Beach-Nest-has-fallen-down-td7574350.html","images":0},{"id":"7574368","topic":"7574350","order":6,"title":"Re: JAN 23: Deerfield Beach Nest has fallen down","author":"Speechykeane","date":"2016-01-25T18:33:58.666000-05:00","nest":"Quiet Waters / Deerfield","season":"","text":"Wow..
