Carol Senechal, founder of Eagle On Alliance (EOA), was on AM790 WNIS this morning to discuss the Bald Eagle strike at the Norfolk International Airport. According to Carol, it was an adult that was killed. The airport refused to have a wildlife expert come in and try to identify if it was Dad Norfolk or DT (Dirty Tail). I'm sure they are trying to avoid the repercussions if their negligence caused the death of either Dad Norfolk or DT. I will say again that regardless of which Bald Eagle was killed, one of ours or a stranger, the airport needs to be heavily fined for the illegal take of a Bald Eagle. From what I understand, the Bald Eagle that was killed was a female, based upon measurements. Praying it was not DT... There is a thread on the Norfolk Eagles Forum about this incident for those of us that don't Facebook (me included). I so appreciate everyone that posts on the Forum. It really helps to keep me in the loop.
I got a good look at the eggs today at the Berry College Bald Eagle nest.
The Northeast Florida Bald Eagle nest looks a lot like the Southwest Florida nest. Rainy day for both. Here's the Northeast nest this evening:
And the Southwest nest:
Bald Eagle NX has checked in. I wish these maps indicated distance or that they would say in the verbiage how far she has gone since her last check-in. No idea how far she has traveled here...
