Updates from the Alcoa/Davenport nest..... And The Winner Is... More than 70,000 people took the time to vote over the last week for the names for the eaglets in the nest here at Alcoa. The winning names are: Faith (oldest) 29,696 votes Hope (second hatched) 30,537 votes Spirit (youngest eaglet) 35,986 votes Wednesday, April 25, 2012 Five Weeks Old Today our middle eaglet is five weeks old. That means the oldest turned five on Monday and Spirit will turn five this coming Saturday. Today I wanted to update a couple of things people have been asking about. First, the tree holding the nest is a cottonwood tree. It was mistakienly identified previously as an oak. The nest is about 80-85 feet above the ground. I am posting a few pictures here that show you the tree and where the nest is located and a couple of shots of the parents and where they sit sometimes when they are not in view of the camera or if they are just sailing by to check on things.

Jeanne, what a beautiful and touching tribute to the Two Harbors chick. Your words are so true and are a comfort to all of us. Thank you. You captured the way he/she always looked with the glow of light around his/her little head.

Whooper Update: Fly Away Home Date: April 25, 2012 Reporter: Heather Ray Subject: CLASS OF 2011 UPDATE Location: Main Office We received some updated PTT information yesterday that tells us where Whooping cranes 4-11 and 7-11 roosted. We know that numbers 3 and 6-11 are traveling with number 4-11 as the WCEP tracking team detected radio signals from all three at the same location on Friday afternoon. PTT hits confirmed that #4-11 (and company) have spent the weekend in the area of southern Columbia County and northern Dane County, approximately 43 miles south of the White River Marsh reintroduction site. Number 7-11 spent the weekend a bit further north; still in Columbia County - approximately 27 miles south of White River Marsh and unfortunately, we don't know as yet, who is traveling with her. The PTT reports for number 9-11 have been few and far between but a report came in via the public report website along with the following image, taken by Linda Halpin. The image confirms that this is indeed number 9-11 and also confirms that the antenna has broken off the PTT device on her right leg. The photograph was taken April 20th in Grant County, WI. A quick addendum: We learned from a Wisconsin DNR survey flight conducted yesterday afternoon that juvenile cranes 7, 10 & 12-11 are traveling together and another group contains: 3, 4, 5 & 6-11. Crane number 1-11 is the only ultralight-led crane currently unaccounted for.

Penny, your artistic friend, Karen, has taken batik to a whole new level of creativity with the characters and landscapes in her work. I have a large batik fabric piece that we bought in the Caribbean years ago and had framed. It is more swirls and blobs, etc.. I enjoyed her explanation of the stories behind her characters. Thanks for sharing. Have you ever been to her studio to see her at work? |

Carole, lovely blue theme yesterday for your NAC presentation. My apologies for not being on here yesterday to comment. Your eagle with the words on it is very cool! Deb, your photos of Gary at the beach are really special. This is a time of change and contemplation in his life with lots to look forward to. I think that feeling was captured in your pictures of him. |

Oh- I did know about the WC shooting in SD. I was just avoiding telling everybody about it because I didn't want to make everybody sad again. |
