Hi Peeps, I'm at Camp Ojai again for a few weeks. My human mother is having a baby any day now. She said it's going to be a little brother for me. I can't wait to walk next to the carriage with my human baby brother. Going for a short hike with Topa. We'll take pictures.

Sheila, one of the guys who worked for us doing carpentry was helping on a minor plumbing issue. He said, "I hate plumbing! You start HERE, and before you know it, you're on the other side of the house!"

Awww Zoey B.eagle is looking so fine Topa her proud beagle attitude. I'm sure she will be a perfect companion for the newest member of her household too. Sheila you are saving BIG bucks if Roger is doing all the renovations and repairs himself. Good for him My DH is not a tool using kind of guy :lol: for ES and the scouts Deb. 12,000 ft is a long way up Do they have to take any meds for altitude issues? Hope they will all 'weather' their hike well.

For the first time in its nearly 27-year history, the Wildlife Center of Virginia, the nation’s leading teaching and research hospital for native wildlife, will release three Bald Eagles at the same event. The unprecedented triple release will take place on Saturday, July 25 at the Visitors Center at Mason Neck State Park in southern Fairfax County, Virginia. The program begins at 12:00 noon; the eagles will be released, one after the other, starting at about 12:30 p.m. The release is open to the public. The Wildlife Center is on a record-setting pace for Bald Eagles. Through July 22, the Center has admitted 30 Bald Eagles this year. The record was set in 2007, when the Center admitted 36 Bald Eagles during the entire year. The three eagles slated for release on July 25 are: #09-0856 ![]() This eagle was rescued from its nest, toppled by a storm near the Possum Point Power Station in Prince William County. The bird, the smallest and weakest of three nestlings, was rescued by Virginia Department of Game and Inland Fisheries eagle biologist Jeff Cooper and admitted to the Center on May 27. Upon admission, the eagle was thin and dehydrated, had a fractured left wing, and had trachial worms. The bird was treated with antibiotics, anti-inflammatories, fluids, and pain medication. On May 31, Center veterinarians operated on the bird and successfully pinned the fracture of the left wing. These pins were removed on June 12. The bird has been moved to progressively larger outdoor flight pens at the Wildlife Center and has demonstrated that it is now ready for return to the wild. #09-1091 ![]() This eagle was found, on the ground near its nest and unable to fly, near the Coles Trip Girl Scout Camp near Brooke in Stafford County. The location is along Aquia Creek near the Potomac River. The eagle was rescued by US Fish and Wildlife agent Stacie Allison, Sara Allison, Michelle Long, and Daniel Long. After its rescue, the eagle was first taken to area wildlife rehabilitator Kent Knowles. The eagle was admitted to the Wildlife Center on June 9. Upon admission, the eagle was thin; the Center veterinary staff found no broken bones and two old scabs on the bird’s legs (likely puncture wounds from siblings). The young eagle has spent time in the Center’s outdoor flight pens and has demonstrated that it is now ready for return to the wild. #09-1148 ![]() This Bald Eagle was first seen during the week of June 8 on the ground near its nest along the Pamunkey River in New Kent County. It had a slight droop in its right wing and was unable to fly. Wildlife rehabilitators Barb Rondeau and Amber Kimmich rescued the bird and provided preliminary treatment; the eagle was transported to the Wildlife Center on June 13 by volunteers Barbara Monaghan and Mike Fowler. Upon admission, the eagle was bright and alert. Radiographs found no fractures; blood tests results, including a test for exposure to lead, were all within normal ranges. The eagle was found to have parasites in its gastrointestinal tract – a common issue. The bird also had some damaged tail feathers. The bird was treated for parasites and with an anti-inflammatory drug. Like the other two eagles to be released on July 25, #09-1148 has “graduated” through a series of progressively larger outdoor flight pens at the Center. During the past few days, all three have shared one of the Center’s largest flight pens; like its pen-mates, #09-1148 has demonstrated to the Center’s rehabilitation and veterinary staff that it is now ready for release to the wild. About Mason Neck Mason Neck is part of the Virginia State Park system managed by the Virginia Department of Conservation and Recreation. The park is on a peninsula in the Potomac River and provides prime habitat for Bald Eagles and other birds. The park connects with the 2,200-acre Elizabeth Hartwell Mason Neck National Wildlife Refuge – created in 1969 as the first National Wildlife Refuge specifically established to protect essential nesting, feeding, and roosting habitat for Bald Eagles. The refuge has been listed as one of the top 10 sites in the country for viewing Bald Eagles. The Wildlife Center has used Mason Neck as a release site for eagles before; in addition to providing prime eagle habitat, park and refuge officials are able to keep an eye on newly released birds to be sure that their readjustment to the wild goes smoothly. |
