I hope it turns out okay... Sometimes they have West Nile Virus.
We had that in upper Michigan in recent years.

Thanks for the update!

Good and bad news. Yesterday's captured eaglet was released this morning, but another was found with a broken wing. This is unofficial info that I read on their message board (link above).

I haven't been following..... are these fledging? Or still too young yet?

About 3 yrs ago the Catalina eagles in Calif...were attacked by a golden eagle who flew over them and knocked them right out of the nest. The camera cam captured this ....it was thunderous and very fast. I happened to see it that day! I can't find it on YouTube... but there are other golden eagle videos of goldens attacking deer, wild cats, and other large animals.

The chicks at Catalina were saved and returned to the nest, and they were pretty large when it happened.

These are fledglings, MrsD. The 1st 2 babies were hatched on consecutive days and fledged on the same day, at the proper time in life. The 3rd baby hatched 3 or 4 days later, didn't "wingercise" like it should, and may have not been ready to fledge when it did.

Speculation is that it was lonely, or sick of the gnats.

Confirmation now, from RRP, the 1st captured fledgling is believed to be D20, believed to be female (by beak measurement), and is in good enough condition to be outfitted with a transmitter and released this afternoon.

No word yet on 2nd, injured, captured bird other than it is now with SOAR (Saving Our Avian Resources).

Still no sighting of 3rd fledgling, but it is assumed it is fine and being cared for by the parents.

Surgery on the broken wing is scheduled for Wednesday (24th).

Sparky,
Thanks for the updates.

A broken wing sounds bad. I hope the poor bird is OK after surgery.
I don't know how well they would heal with an injury like that.
Rehab must take ages.

Poor eaglet and E3 RTH. ugh
