Poor Flyer is still 'stuck' and it appears to be worse than before now  S/he is still getting fed, but not a whole lot today  "As our faithful viewers know, one of the eaglets at our Sidney nest has its foot caught in something and has been in some distress about this since Friday, May 13. Donald-Flyer, the first-born of the three eaglets in this nest got caught initially early Friday but managed to get loose, only to be again caught, possibly on something different, later that afternoon. The eaglet has been caught ever since, nestled up against the left edge of the nest as viewed from the closeup camera view (lower right on the wide-angle view) David Hancock gives an overview of what happened to the eaglet and of the options available to us to rescue it. At the time this interview was given, the basic option is to simply wait things out and hope that the ground gets firmer since this has been a very wet spring, and the clay-based ground is covered in standing water and extremely soft; too soft to hold the weight of the crane necessary to get to the nest without disturbing the tree, which might cause the nest to fall."   for interviewDavid Hancock speaks to CTV news reporter Marie Weisgarber about "Donald/Flyer" the eaglet at Sidney that has a foot caught in what appears to be fishing line - what can be done - May 17, 2011 (about 9 minutes) Webcam captures struggling B.C. eaglet (2:14) Edited by Artsy Mom, May 17 2011, 06:37 PM.

Lily the Black Bear - Update on Tuesday, May 17, 2011 June Bear  June nursing her 2 cubs June has moved her 2 cubs deep into a roadless area. She is marking by rubbing her scent on trees and stomp-walking, apparently to expand her territory away from her daughters Lily and Jewel. Wonderful data, but her location makes things harder for research. June is the bear with the longest, most detailed ecological history. She is the bear we have spent the most time with and the bear most comfortable with researchers clambering after her. If she even looks up at the ubiquitous researcher, we wonder why. June has learned to ignore us and go about foraging, marking, caring for cubs, etc.  June scent-marking by back-rubbing Now, she is shifting her territory into a roadless area where she will be hard to reach. This bear that is the most comfortable with people has sought the most remote territory. Shouldn’t she be seeking the company of people? Shouldn’t she be hanging out around feeding stations? How often are human predictions defied by real bears? How often do people base predictions on food when social factors and other factors are also important? As we have said before, what makes human sense does not always make bear sense. That’s why we do research. Lily led her family more than a mile, as did Jo, and as did June. June decided it was time to move today after being in the same small area for several days.  one of June's cubs Video taken today of June and her cubs will be posted later tonight on YouTube. The WCCO-TV newscast yesterday evening The Legal Bounty Put On Radio-Collared Bears Minnesota is generating comments and support from hunters and non-hunters. One of the hunters is hunter, guide, blogger, author T. R. Michels who sees the big picture and is not afraid to talk about it. He put up a new Facebook page at Protect Minnesota Research Bears and is looking for comments about what the radio-collared bears mean to the signers. He plans to take it all to the Commissioner and the legislature. And that’s just the beginning. This is important. The link to show support for making the black bear Minnesota’s state mammal is here. Anyone, anywhere, of all ages, can sign it if you have an email address. Congratulations on your win In the Readers Digest contest to win money for Ely. You registered an unbelievable number of votes for Ely. Thank you for all you are doing. —Lynn Rogers and Sue Mansfield, Biologists, Wildlife Research Institute and North American Bear Center |

And boy!, could I use one of your warm hugs! I have a few of them tucked in my memory bank from last year when we met on the Santa Monica Pier. | « Previous Topic · Daily Chat · Next Topic » |
