Yesterday I posted some info from the Blackwater Refuge........ Well it now looks as though "Braveheart" has left the osprey nest as we have new visitors. "We're not sure if Braveheart has left, but if we see bald eagles on the nest, it means the osprey family is not defending it." ![]() Nest Update09/17/09: We're seeing bald eagles on the platform. If they continue to hang out, it means our father osprey and chick have left for migration. Although we'll miss them, it would be good to know Braveheart is finally headed for her southern wintering grounds. |

I'll just spread my germs all over the 'puter keyboard !

Deb I love the white Eagle you opened with this morning. I have noticed others using it too, and it is a favorite of mine. Hope you are not getting the Flu bug. Have been up all night long unable to sleep. Not sure how I will get through the day today, and it is one of our long ones. Looking forward to Survivor tonight. Hope I can stay awake for that. Hope Regan is feeling better with less pain each and every day now. My Christmas Gift's arrived yesterday. Today I will order the wrapping paper, tags, and bows. As soon as they arrive I start my wrapping, and taking them to be mailed out of town. Hope I didn't miss Dancing With The Stars. Although I'm tired of the publicity they get. The stars should be the Teachers and the Public be invited to dance with them. I read somewhere the one doesn't want to be there, leaves practice early, and sometimes doesn't even show up! A real class act. |

Here is a progress report on "Spot" courtesy of the Luduskalender.ee site with a translation of the news report from the Estonian Young eagle Spot had severe wing injury Author: Bianca Mikovitš Source: Maaleht, 15. september 2009 11:41 Internet link http://www.maaleht.ee/news/loodus/loodu ... d=25687439 Mihkel Juhkam who went to look for mushrooms on Saturday had walked for less than 100 m before he saw a large bird sitting hunched up under a tree. “I have never befoe seen an eagle at so close quarters, actually I couldn’t guess precisely what bird it was”, said Mihkel Juhkam who at once informed the Environment Agency (Keskkonnainspektsioon) people about his discovery. With advice from the specialists Mihkel brought a box from home, lifted the bird into it, and kept it at home until evening when the environment people came for the eagle. The director of the Nigula Animal Rehabilitation Centre, Kaja Kübar, says that if the young spotted eagle had been left for longer in the forest it would have had a sad ending. The young spotted eagle, named Spot by the LSE camera and TV viewers was thin for its age and under its right wing was a large haematoma (hemorrhage). “Obviously it had collided with something in flight”, Kaja Kübar said, and explained that such collisions are so common in autumn in the migration excitement that people in the rehab centre have dubbed the period the “Bumping Period”. "If the collision is with a car the bird may easily be killed on the spot, but there are collisions with trees and other obstacles too”, she explained. At the moment Spot is still so poorly that he doesn’t even want to stand up very much, but its appetite is good and this is a good sign for recovery, Kaja Kübar says. The veterinary who examined the bird prescribed some extra food additives which should speed the recovery. If the treatment helps, and the blood swelling (haematoma) goes down the young eagle may still be able to take off on its long migration journey, despite the accident. Eagle expert Urmas Sellis said that the female of the nest apparently started her migration already a month ago; the male bird was still seen only some time ago, but at the moment probably he too is on his migration journey. "If Spot recovers, there is still time for him to make the migration journey”, Urmas Sellis believes. “Eagles don’t need travelling companions, they prefer flying on their own”. I know we cruzers will be wishing Spot a speedy recovery so that s/he can be soaring again just like we do for all rescued eagles Thanks to someone on the Luduskalender.ee forum who is fluent in both Estonian and in English there was this translation. Its great they were gracious enough to post the translation as ,other members there have commented, that while google translate is a good quicky tool it is not always a correct translation. I suppose it may be due to whatever the idioms are that are contained within the prose. |
