I THINK this is where I shud post this??? HALP! Some here will be interested. If California would build desalination plants on its coasts, it would have plenty of water. The mideast uses them for about half its drinking etc water. Get on it Cali! June , 2014 Southern California drought has left raptors emaciated, not breeding. Owls, hawks and other birds of prey, nests remain empty. This has been going on for a while and we have seen significant declines in species including red-shouldered hawks, golden eagles and White-tail Kites. A contributing factor is the drastically reduced food supply of insects and small mammals that various bird species feed upon. It is one of the worst breeding seasons on record. Few active nests spotted, birds are just not nesting, not laying eggs. Even though one Barn Owl egg was laid, it was abandoned by its mother because the male quit supplying her with food. Birds are emaciated and are not exhibiting normal breeding behaviors. They're very thin, and raptors are coming into contact with humans more often. The drought is impacting the entire ecosystem - because of a lack of grass, which inhibits insects and small mammals from reproducing, it has reduced the supply of a variety of species, not just birds. http://www.accuweather.com/en/weather-n ... r/28057557 |

GSB chick fell June 16 - driven out by blackflies. RRP found hawk fledglings on roadside same thing. Decorah eaglets bothered too. I thot some may like this. When I checked http://operationmigration.org/InTheField today to see when whooping crane cam would be live, I found this article. Black Fly Outbreak Causes Loons to Abandon Nests June 11, 2014 It would seem that those pesky Black flies not only affect nesting Whooping cranes but also Loons. An estimated 70% of Loon nests in northern Wisconsin have been abandoned recently due to a large bloom of the simulium annulus species of black fly. http://operationmigration.org/InTheField/2014/06/11/black-fly-outbreak-causes-loons-to-abandon-nests |
