Eaglepedia Revisited January 30, 2008 If agitated by human activities, eagles may inadequately construct or repair their nest, may expend energy defending the nest rather than tending to their young, or may abandon the nest altogether. Activities that cause prolonged absences of adults from their nests can jeopardize eggs or young. Depending on weather conditions, eggs may overheat or cool too much and fail to hatch. Unattended eggs and nestlings are subject to predation. Young nestlings are particularly vulnerable because they rely on their parents to provide warmth or shade, without which they may die as a result of hypothermia or heat stress. (cont'd 1/31/08) http://www.fws.gov/migratorybirds/issues/B...tGuidelines.pdf K26 doing a good job of Tenting (Paula) in the pouring rain ![]() TH with Dad (Jann) providing shade in the beating sun ![]() AND January 31, 2008 If food delivery schedules are interrupted, the young may not develop healthy plumage, which can affect their survival. In addition, adults startled while incubating or brooding young may damage eggs or injure their young as they abruptly leave the nest. Older nestlings no longer require constant attention from adults but they may be startled by loud or intrusive human activities and prematurely jump from the nest before they are able to fly or care for themselves. Once fledged, juveniles range up to 1/4 mile from the nest stie often to a site with minimal human activity. During this period, until about six weeks after departure from the nest, the juveniles still depend on the adults to feed them. http://www.fws.gov/migratorybirds/issues/B...tGuidelines.pdf ![]() ![]() (PH Nest 4/17/07 - Cumbrian) Visit Eaglepedia DISCLAIMER: Information here has been gathered in good faith from the internet and cannot be guaranteed to be totally accurate. |

Even though this is from last year, I don't remember reading about this before. I find it so interesting that albinism can manifest itself in eagles too. Rare albino eagle found in Colorado ![]() The eagle was found in the Pinon Canyon area of Southeastern Colorado by Rancher Tony Hass. His wife, Connie, took the photos as they waited for Division of Wildlife District Manager Jeremy Gallegos to capture the eagle and take it to the Raptor Center in Pueblo. The male eagle is thin and is being treated for parasites. The eagle's feathers are in such poor condition that it cannot fly. However, Raptor Center Director Diana Miller believes the rare eagle will recover and will be released in the Hoehne area in about three months. I tried to get an update on this eagle but could only find the following.... A Special Case On July 12, 2008 our raptor facilities admitted a very unique patient, a leucistic golden eagle. Leucism, also referred to as partial albinism, is a genetic condition where the bird's cells contains pigments, but not all of the pigments are turned on. In albinism, the animal has no pigmentation. The eagle (ID# 08-4082) is currently convalescing from a soft tissue injury to the left shoulder and extensive damage to its feathers. His recovery will take some time and there is no projected release date. For now he needs rest, good food and time. Because the golden eagle is under rehabilitational care, he is not available for public viewing. I have a sent an email to the Raptor Center asking them for an update and will post any information they give me when I receive a reply

Jeanne and I met at a camping store in NJ - only one in the country but they do a great online business - great stuff - good prices! Both did a bit of shopping and then headed out for some lunch! Stopped at George's - no eagles went on to next stop - no eagles It was/is really hazy/foggy here today (all that rain we've had I guess) so not real clear! We could see the one nest but not the other. Too hard for me to cross back over the Hudson River and then have to cross it again to come home later so I opted to head home! Jeanne thought she might head across to the other side to see about the nest ....... I'm waiting for her update - hopefully when she's home later tonight or tomorrow - she'll post what she discovered! ![]() along the parkway nearly at the turn off - we came across this red tail - Jeanne saw a 2nd one fly over but I only got the one! ![]() checking out the geese hanging at the park - never saw the little ones until we were checking them out on our way to the car - missed 'em the first time! ![]() ![]() it was really hazy - looking across hudson - can't see anything ![]() ![]() supposedly an inactive nest - it's in the full tree on the left - down in the fork! this is the nest Jeanne was going to check out! missed my exit to get on Taconic BUT saw this so snapped a shot - then turned around! ![]() small photos are clickables for larger image! |
