Welcome Home Delta Eagles!

Wed, 11 Mar 2009 06:53:39 -0400

March 10, 2009: The Delta bald eagles are back at their nest and they have two eggs. Now referred to as the Delta OWL nest. OWL is the Orphaned WildLife Rehabilitation Society in Delta, BC, and the nest is in their general area. As those of you who were watching our cams in 2008 may remember, OWL cared for Delta Dan, who fell out of the Delta 1 nest and needed some extra help to get ready for the fall migration.

facility. No injuries, but he is a little thin. During three hot days prior to his fall, we didn’t see a food drop by the parents. However, he was fed by them before he was picked up. You can see his large crop in the closing clip of this video. Bandit will be released as soon as he passes his "flight test" in OWL's large flight field. ...

Delta Dan is Released!

Sat, 30 Aug 2008 02:32:35 -0400

August 28, 2008: On a cool, rainy day, Delta Dan was released. The eaglet fell out of his nest on July 22, 2008, and was rescued by O.W.L. (Orphaned Wildlife Rehabilitation Society) the next morning. Godspeed, Danny! Will Patt has graciously allowed us to copy his video of Delta Dan's release. Will's YouTube website: http://www.youtube.com/user/willpatt From the O.W.L. website: "Those of you who have been following the David Hancock Eagle cameras will be relieved to know the (not so little) guy that fell out of the nest the other day, July 22nd, is now at O.W.L. As could be expected, Bev and Ralph were at the rescue within ten minutes of his fall but due to the loss of daylight had to return the next morning. They were able to capture the underweight eaglet as he was attempting to unsuccessfully, fly to the nest. As the nest site was damaged and "Dan" was underweight, it was decided to bring him back to O.W.L. where he will be released once he puts on some weight and gets his full flight feathers in. "Delta Dan" got his name because he's from Delta and is named after a very special volunteer who, very sadly, recently passed away." O.W.L. website: http://www.owlcanada.ca/

Delta Eagles

I wasn't gonna post this, because it might give an impression that all I did was chase eagles all day. Seems on that very windy day we had, they were a little touchier than usual. Normally they don't mind cars stopping near them as long as the driver doesn't get out. Well, didn't work that day. Except for the last 2 who let me watch them for about 5 minutes until they decided it was time to take off. What I also wanted to demonstrate in these videos are the safe-to-perch-on powerpoles that are on this road - we need those everywhere where there are a lot of birds of prey perching.
