Update on the two pefas from Copper County Lift Bridge:

03/C Boden may have had a window strike at a Houghton restaurant, then sat on a wall in the parking lot, eventually flying to a shoreline tree along the lake. Michelle Anderson from a wildlife rescue has retrieved 03/C, given a dose of metacam (NSAID) and some subcutaneous fluids, and is consulting Chocolay Raptor Center about the next move. Hopefully, after a few good meals and possibly a physical exam, he/she will be released.

22/Z Harmony was observed still hanging out on the bridge, even returning to the nestbox at one point. The parents were both observed on the bridge also.

Copper County's 22/Z Harmony was spotted perched on the South Tower of the Lift Bridge.

The U.P. Wildlife Rehabilitation - Keweenaw Group put an update on their Facebook page about 03/C Boden, still referring to him as a "her". He/she is getting some protein in the form of rodents and chicken and resting up for a release. https://www.facebook.com/1060380907353438/posts/1854258834632304/

Copper...

Somebody is in the box right now (pics later)...looks too small to be Harmony...Maybe Boden was returned? I'll try to get the band number before I have to leave.

Yes, 03/C was released today near the nestbox. I think that's who is in the box, but I can't see the bands either.
Someone thought they saw Harmony on the cam arm at one point.

He's still there...out on the perch..

Its 03/C..I finally saw the band....and Harmony may be up there somewhere too...I "think" I heard her when a parent made an appearance out of cam view. 03/C went nuts, looking somewhere up and too the left (our left) Because of his excitement, I think parent must have had food.

Copper~I did not see this live, but was recording...I hope they are OK...did not look good..

Sister comes in

She either hits him or he loses his balance and goes off.

She is on the right, he on the left

He disappears and she misses the landing

I'm not sure if there is anything solid below her or if she is falling..

Last view I had of her...

Box is empty and I do hear at least 1 screaming!! I won't be able to check back in until this evening.

Copper County - 03/C Boden is back in rehab as of 7-11-18. This report from Michelle Anderson:

"03/C back in rehab. Got calls tonight and bird was struggling to get up to guard rail off ground. Let folks walk very close. Observed for a while even encouraged flight and just couldn’t or wouldn’t get off ground. Beth saw strong flights last night but tonight nada. Easy for me to catch so off to the raptor center he will go. Would feel better about another evaluation and see what the bird does in a flight cage. My gut says he would not have made it back up to where the parents are on his own accord. Hopefully a few days up there and can come back here once he’s gain some strength and weight. Bird is a bit thin so some more free meals wouldn’t hurt. We’ll keep y’all posted!

Michelle "

thanks MISue...I sure hope he's ok...I wonder if he's really got something going on with that droopy right wing...maybe some soft tissue issues? Sure hope he'll be OK..

Look who's home!! :flirty:

03/C back in the nest box this morning. He was guarding his breakfast from his sister. :egg7:

Thanks Carolyn!! I watched quite a bit yesterday (July 19th)...I haven't checked the cam yet today...

Sister visited several times during the morning..

sister on the left..

03/C on the left

Sister leaving

I thought he might follow her..but nope...she hung around for quite a while, to the left of the box/under the box. He was very entertained...I wonder if she was trying to get him to come with her. She eventually left.

Dinner delivery to 03/C

Sister must have been right behind the parent...probably wondering why he got the huge meal and she didn't..

She didn't even bother to go into the box to steal...she just left.

Copper~One of the kids...

S/he walked into that alcove and out of cam view.

Copper

3 separate visits last evening.

First Vist, it was definitely 03/C...Visits 2 and 3, I presume 03/C, but never saw the bands to confirm.

Look at that crop

#2~didn't stay long

#3..and a big oops on the landing..

I thought I had more...including the pic I took at 6 am this morning..yep, s/he spent the night..but, must have deleted by mistake...

I sure hope they do some maintenance on the Grand Haven nestbox- it’s looking pretty rough....

I caught momma home at the Copper nest...perched at the nestbox.
