Locations for Camellia and KE,

There are new locations for Camellia and KE. Camellia has actually gone a little distance from his last location. KE seems to have a one-track mind. MagInAlex went looking for KE, but came up empty. Better luckl!

The Baton Rouge Zoo's Bald Eagle is still on the loose. They have gotten over 100 calls, but still need help if you are in the area and spot him. Call 225 775 3877 if you see an eagle in the area.

A Bald Eagle covered in a sticky, tarry substance has been admitted to the Wildlife Center of Virginia. Bald Eagle #13-1740 has had several (successive) baths and will likely need another round of successive baths to remove all of the subsance. The bird is also emaciated. I imagine it will need some time to recover.

There is a new book out. "Bald Eagle Nest: A story of survival in photos" by Kate Davis documents with pictures and anecdotes a nest that fledged four chicks. There is also a 'play' button at the above link where you can listen to a half hour interview where Kate recounts the year she spent observing this nest. It's interesting to listen to...

Here's a beautiful picture of two Bald Eagles. I'm not sure what they are standing on... Any guesses?

Eagle On Alliance Sues The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Help Find an Escaped Bald Eagle, Bald Eagle Excursion, Outside My Window Blog, Find Momo, Osprey on Feathered Photography, Location for NX

The Eagle On Alliance petitioned the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to stop allowing the destruction of the Bald Eagle nests at the Norfolk Botanical Garden. They had asked to be notified by 7/1 whether it intends to continue allowing these nests to be destroyed. It is reported today that EOA has brought suit against the agency to halt the removal of these nests. I wish them luck. It is idiotic to think that you will ever get the Bald Eagles out of the Garden. And it's idiotic to even try when there are measures that can be taken at the airport to reduce the threat of all wildlife to aviation in the area. The airport has plans to expand. Which will bring in more revenue to the city. And the Bald Eagles at the Garden complicate those plans. Does anyone else smell a rotten deal?

Baton Rouge zoo officials need help finding an escaped Bald Eagle. The eagle has limited flight capabilities. Call 225-775-3877 if you have any information.

The Audubon Society of Western Pennsylvania is hosting a Bald Eagle Excursion in Hays tomorrow, 7/4.

I found a neat blog. Outside My Window is mainly a bird blog. I found very informative entries about bird anatomy and behavior.

It took me about 5 minutes to find Momo today!

Check out this Osprey on Ron Dudley's Feathered Photography Blog.

There is a new location for NX for 7/2. Of course, she hasn't gone far...
