Falconry capture season opens, 1st since nonresident provision

It sounds like it is not a popular option for falconers since most go to breeders to procure new birds. With a fee of $200 it is not a good revenue source.

Thank you for sharing that wonderful story beans. We always try to use a surrogate whenever possible. Their own species are so much so better at raising the young than we humans! It is neat they were able to return this little guy back to his original tree!

Quote:

A party in Antioch Saturday night was interrupted when a baby bird was blown from a tree and hit the roof of the house.When party-goers went to investigate, they discovered a whole nest on the ground with two more babies in it. The babies — white tailed kites — were brought to Lindsay Wildlife Museum. The next day, a fourth baby kite was found at the site of the nest tree. Sadly, the bird that hit the roof and this fourth baby did not survive.

That Sunday, a volunteer went to the home in Antioch to assess the situation. She sent photos to Traverso Tree Service, who later appeared on the scene to help with an emergency nest return. Hospital staff brought a wicker basket to the site to serve as a replacement “nest.” It took Traverso Tree Service only 23 minutes to secure the basket to the nest tree with the two surviving babies in it.

Today, vocalizations were heard from the tree so it appears all is well with the two baby kites. Thanks to Luis, Jesus and Miguel of Traverso Tree Service for making it possible for these baby kites to be reunited with their parents!

Thanks to the tree service!

Eagle rescued after being trapped in mud on Vancouver Island
Young eagle was covered in 5 pounds of clay-like muck
The person that found the Eagle went back to remove the dear carcass from the mud and probably saved dozens more animals by being such a caring soul :thumbup

Conservation takes to new heights :egg5:

By Dan MacLennan, Campbell River Courier-Islander
An amazing homeless shelter for a pair of bald eagles became a nursery this spring, much to the elation of the Campbell River residents who helped to built it.

That is one of the best stories I have read. Thank you so much KF!

I've been in Oregon for almost three weeks!

Of course I visited Mitra, the Raven I helped to "affection train" at Lindsay Wildlife Hospital.

Here's Mitra at CRC!

He seems to be very happy with his roommate. I visited twice on my trip to Eugene. After the first trip, I went to my friend's hairdresser and had some blond streaks added to my hair --- a lot of streaks. The next time I visited him, he didn't seem to recognize me. He probably thought I was an adult Brown Pelican in full breeding plumage.

Brown Pelican :laugh2

I posted on your youtube and asked if that was our Raven and now I got my answer isn't he looking great & I have to say he looks very happy :thumbup

He is doing very well! I think Mira keeps him company.

It's hard to get a good pic of Mitra because he's always jumping around

How cool you were able to visit with Mitra again! Thanks for the update blonde beans!

That was a nice video beans. Did you shoot it? Loved all the scenes of the trails. How beautiful!

I made the video and pics with my iphone. So much easier than carrying around a big camera!
