Lot's of you have already seen this, but just in case you haven't, here's a link to a video showing the action at Pelican Harbor nest. It is an example of how violent nature can be...definitely rated PG.

Thanks Steve for the link. I think most of us have seen it. Hoping to hear how they are doing.
Here is an update from IWS:
I spoke with Pete who had just left the vet's office. The one bird does
have a fractured humerus as we had thought, but no other injuries. He is
going to have an orthopedic surgeon look at the bird and do the surgery
(probably pinning and wiring the bone). The other chick has been grabbed
in the bill (probably how it was drug out of the nest) and it has a deep
puncture wound in the upper mandible. The vet wanted to keep that bird for
additional treatment and observation to make sure no infection started.
So, that is the news for now. I will keep you posted when I hear more.
Dave.
Thanks Deb, I just saw that and was about to put it on.
Good night everyone. Prayers for all humans and feather and furry friends in need.
Thanks Deb - I had just read that report - Makes you feel better knowing what is actually going on.

LOL, I've been trying to post that for over an hour on the other thread, and when it posted I saw that a new thread was up!
K10 at PH eating now
Deb One of the Kent eagles is up high in the tree on Eagle Cam 1. That is the first I have seen him/her is quite some time.
A little raccoon eating corn on the Okie Bird Cam.....
More raccoons in the PA woods...
Wild Watch Osprey back on the nest incubating their egg.
I see the eagle at Kent, thanks, Jo, back to Dancing.
Good Night All You TV Fans
Peace to you & yours
((hugs))
WOW, what a beautiful clear day in FINLAND
FINNEY'S CAM STILL STUCK ON THE 18TH
GOOD NIGHT EVERYONE
Nite Mits! Guess everyone is finished with tonight's TV programs. :)
Wonder what that is in the water at the Finland cam. It has gone from right to left and had a little wake.
I saw that Lolly, think it is maybe a duck or swan, been watching it
Glad you saw it. By the time I posted it was gone.
It really is a beautiful day there on the cam. The colors are fantastic!
Deb, were you happy with "Dancing's" winner? I wanted Jason to win because he new nothing about dancing and Christy was a dancer from way back. But, she was a very fine dancer and a gracious winner.
Oh, and thanks for Dave's report.
I wonder how high above the water it is. I just noticed that it looks like you can see the tops of trees on the left.
I wanted Christy to win, she was so fantastic, but so was Jason. How about Amer. Idol. I want David A. to win!!! I love listening to him sing.
There goes the ferry! I am aboard for this beautiful ride!
Wow! Just noticed that the ferry caused ripples in the water up to the nest. It is very still there today and so serene!!!
I wanted Kristi to win on Dancing from the minute I saw her on the show. I loved her skating and was glad to see she was a great dancer, too. She is so graceful and talented. Jason was fun to watch, but Kristi was the better dancer.
Both eagles at Kent.
I should have said that's my opinion! Everyone sees something different.
I missed the Ferry, once again!
I also, would like David A. to win. He is so sweet and humble. David C. also has a wonderful voice, but his music is not to my liking.
I haven't looked in on Kent for a looong time. It is really good to see Star and Spirit sitting up there. Does anyone know if they are working on that poor nest?
That is the first time I have seen them in a couple of weeks. They built it up pretty good, then seemed to take a break.
Another update on PH chicks:
Hey All,
I just got off the phone with Peter Sharpe. He said the vet exams for both eaglets went relatively well. The chick with the broken beak should be returning to the island next week and the other with the broken wing will be going into surgery on Thursday (I didn't note which was Spirit and which was Skye when I was handling them, so Peter will have to sort that out for us). The vet said the break is in a 'good' spot and is hoping for a full recovery in 3-5 weeks. I'll let Peter fill you in on the details later tonight or tomorrow.
Peter also said he was interviewed by Channel 4 news and they will be airing tonight at 11pm. That's a bit too late for me, but we're Tivo-ing it for tomorrow.
Dave
Thanks Deb for the update. This is truly an amazing story that we have all been watching. And, because of the cams those two birds were saved! WOW!
Here is an update on Beauty:
The bald eagle who underwent a successful procedure Monday to attach a prosthetic beak had a bit of a snafu the next morning. The bond holding the plastic beak onto the metal post temporarily fell off.
The team who developed the intricate prosthetic beak re-attached it Tuesday morning and still call the procedure a huge success.
"This isn't the final beak," Nate Calvin, engineer of the prosthetic beak, said. "We had to go with a material that could be easily produced and easily modified."
Calvin anticipated the glue bonding the beak and post would not stick and doesn't see it as a concern because the metal post is still intact and the final beak will be made of titanium.
Beauty is cleaning her feathers now for the first time since her beak was shot off by a hunter three years ago.
What a week in the eagle world! Hopefully the little NBG eaglet will get a good report also!
I will put up the link for the video, I am just now watching it and it is really good.
I really like the report of her preening her feathers. Cool!
Yes, just when you think all is going well.....POW....nature takes a blow.
I am really concerned about the NBG eaglet. I want her well, but I do not want her taken from her nest. So much has happened there.
Here is the link for Beauty's story update:
Beauty Update
Time to turn off the computer for the day, Night all, TTUT.
Nite Deb. Thanks for the reports.
Thanks, Deb for the Beauty link. Too sleepy to watch now. Will catch it first thing in the morning. You give us a LOT of photos and information and I don't always have a chance to thank you, so...THANK YOU!
GOOD NIGHT EVERYONE
SLEEP TIGHT
PRAYERS (Thank you for sparing the lives of our 2 little eaglets)
Nite Wanda! I am calling it quits too. Sweet dreams!
Good morning, world. Cold out again tonight, good grief, thought this was May! 41° in PA, but 55° here so it's going up.
Can almost see our kids thru Spidey's web, and lo and behold, both Intrepid and Destiny are in the nest tonight sleeping! Scotland doesn't say another egg hatched yet, but they are zoomed in on Angus, looks like, so time will tell.
Before I forget, I will NOT be in tomorrow. A friend of mine died last week, and his wife is having a memorial service for him tonight at 7. I told her I would be there for her, so it's gonna be a long day and a long night. Too long a night for me, so will not be in tomorrow. Will be back Friday.
All have a great eagle/panda day. Eyes to the sky, see the raptors fly!
Thanks, Steven, I had not seen that version of the intruder attacks ... with the commentary from Dave and the rest.
Well, thank God they are both alive and will survive ... they'll be a little late fledging it looks like though.
Too bad both parents were absent. It could have been averted if one had been nearby.
GOOD NIGHT, EVERYBODY IN EAGLE LAND.
LET'S HOPE FOR BETTER LUCK TOMORROW.

Morning, Suzanne. I didn't realize it was time for you to be in already.
How are you today?

GOOD MORNING TO YOU TO SUZANNE PET,,
I was just doing my virus thingy on the computer and I thought I'd look in on Isla,, but can't see anything either,, but bubs has got a little fur on his bottie this morning,,OMG OMG Hang on HELP !!!!
Suzanne are you watching this
Angus is in the nest and he is getting mobbed by another male bird and all hell has vroken loose of dear God that chick !!!!!
OMG, Scotland is showing their reruns like they do every morning, and there was an osprey intruder earlier this morning! Wow, awesome footage, but glad to see Angus chased him off while Isla stayed with baby and eggs. She had to stand and flap her wings too, though. Showed intruder flying in, then Angus flying in and landing on nest while intruder was hovering over nest, Isla got up and started flapping too, and then Angus flew up and looked like a brief confrontation, but it was so quick, couldn't tell. Looked like baby and eggs were fine. Sure hope they stay that way. They zoomed in earlier, and both eggs are still intact. Darn. Hope one of them at least hatches, so baby will have a playmate!
So Sorry to panic so pet,, I'm in tears here, this new Male bird was so vicious with Angus,,, I'm wondering if this new and young bird was the one that first mated with Isla when they first arrived back in Scotland and he is back to claim his offspring,,, oh flippin ekk,,listen to me it sound like an episode of Dallas,,,"Come on Sweellen your mind",,,No I'm not I'm with Cwiff Barmes,,, pardon the baby speak, but those are the clean versions of the names we use over here,
Now I'n just waffleing cos I'm upset,, but what a thing to see,,,,,
I'll shut up now
love and hugs
Chrissy
XXXXXXX
THANK YOU Suzanne pet,,
There was no way I could give a clear view of what happened pet I was in panic mode and in tears,, glad to see one of us is brain alive this morning.
Oh just look at that face of Isla's isn't she just so happy at being a mummy again,,maybe she knows it might be her last year and she and Angus are going to give it all they have left Bless them,, boy can Angus give what he gets..
Suzanne how did you know it wa s a playback do they tell you on the screen,, cos it doesn't show on mine ????
I think thats why I paniced so,,cos I thought it was live you see.
By the way Isla is a lot bigger than Angus and she is more of a mink colour she has a fantail black splodge on her head Angus just has a dirty smudge really,, and he is a lot more brown,, but I wouldnt want to cross his ,,even on a good day,,would you !!!
love and hugs
Chrissy

Well, Chrissy and Suzanne, it's almost 2:30 a.m. in So Cal, and I'd better get to bed.
Talk to you all in the (later) morning...

Jim
Think our kids are on a half circle on the outside of the nest. Can almost see them thru Spidey's web. Intrepid has been in and out of the nest, and Destiny is practicing wing flaps. Only other cam open is the Scottish osprey, and the baby is active this morning. Whenever mom gets up, he tries to grab her with his beak. Too cute.
Going off line for a while, cutting some CDs, and that's computer intensive, so shutting off for a while. Back later. Hopefully!
Well, good morning, Chrissy and Jim! I was not watching and didn't see either of you come in. Please forgive me!
Chrissy, when you watch Isla, if they show a couple slides going across the cam, one will be highlighted in yellow. That's the one they show you. They're usually only a couple minutes, but it's a great way to get caught up if you miss anything. We can't control any part of it, but you CAN highlight a date and time and hit your mouse and it will play. Other than that, they just pick last few hours or so I think. That was scary! That's what, the second time this guy has attacked the nest? They mentioned it quite a while back on their diary.
I really love this cam, love Isla and Angus and the views! And of course, the little baby. He's so cute!
Jim, I hope you can get back to sleep soon! 2:30 in the morning I'm usually driving, but most normal people are sleeping! Wish I could too!!!
Ok you two, have to start these CDs. Keep an eye on things. And Chrissy, Isla and Angus and baby and eggs are fine. Let's hope it stays that way!!
Later...
ok Suzanne pet,,,take you time,,I'll speak when your done and dusted,,I'm not going anywhere..
Bye for now,
love and hugs
Chrissy
