carly,
Thank you for going and looking nice to know Milton wasn't around,
Maybe he will go see your Angel and help out there :grin:

Milton can head Quests way.
He may now jsut scour the area looking for a place to hang his hat. I know that is what Miss Edmontn did. she travelled Alberta and then came back to Weber building.

I hope they hear where and that he is O.K.

Thanks for that report, Carly. As you said, it was good news that everything was calm at both sites. :thumbegg:

Well Carly, just what we didn't want to happen. You know what I am worried about...
They both get hurt and then we have 2 nests lost.

Oh no...Carly

Beth · **Posted:** Mon May 10, 2010 7:40 am

Dang, what a terrible way to start off on a Monday morning :(

Oh no Carly :-(

I know this is exactly what you didn't want to happen. Milton is all rested up, and Jack has been taking care of two nests. Let us know what you see. I am crossing my fingers for poor Jack!

Oh dear--I'm so sorry to hear this! I'm not any happier about Milton's release right at nesting time than I was that Mariah was released during nesting season. She also went right back home, but things stayed pretty calm there. Let's hope things work out here & there are no more injuries!

Thanks Carly, I will keep checking back in today for your updates...

Beth · **Posted:** Mon May 10, 2010 9:25 am

My husband calls me 911-Beth so I am right with you about handling conflict Carly.
Wish we could help, since we can't be there in person with you/Mathew please know
you have our thoughts and prayers for the best outcome.

SusanE · **Posted:** Mon May 10, 2010 9:57 am

OH NOOOOO!!!! This is very upsetting. Many prayers and positive vibes coming your way, Carly & Mathew. PLEASE, don't let either guy get seriously hurt, PLEASE.

bev. · **Posted:** Mon May 10, 2010 10:13 am

you know my thoughts Carly.

this is just a damn shame. Hope Angel gets some food soon.
Of course, jack will try an stay at his territory but hopefully he will give in to come and feed his family at Etobicoke.
Just me ,trying to help the males make a decision.

They should listen to you, bev. :wink:

I cannot believe this is happening (but,of course, I can) We all knew it..We're smack dab in the midst of nesting season, a former resident male (Milton) is released...well, where did they think he would go? To Florida for a vacation? Of course he was going to go home----duh!!! We are not biologist, but even we knew he would do what he has done!!! :gaah:

What were they thinking?!

Now...lets hope Jack returns to Angel full time and the TR female accepts Milton back!!!!

Carly, I am soooooooooooooo sorry all of this is happening...it must be so stressful for you..I don't know how you can work!!! I would be freaking out...any idea if anyone was seriously injured?

Please keep us posted when you can!!!

Beth · **Posted:** Mon May 10, 2010 7:00 pm

Oh my Carly, just had a chance to check in...Thinking of you this evening.

Hope Frank can get some ID's.

bev. · **Posted:** Mon May 10, 2010 7:08 pm

Carly, I really do not know what to make of it.

By the way, after a fight , they would be preening and licking theri woulnds. I have watched them do that.
(feathers would certainly be ruffled)

I think , at this point, I would be more inclined to be thinking of the females and the chicks. they are the ones that are suffering right now and need food.
Angel cannot stay there forever without food and the chicks need to be covered. Has anyone been notified.

I do not know how females react but in Edmonton, when the female was defeated , the male was right there ,courting her, 5 minutes after. the biologist were watching from the ground and I was watching from the cam.
It is their survival instinct. but , there were no chicks involved.
angel has chicks, and she want s to protect them, so she is going to make sure no one harms them

What a mess.
the ones that released Milton need to be tarred and feathered.

obxbarb · **Posted:** Mon May 10, 2010 7:12 pm

I thought things might quiet down this afternoon. I'm so sorry Carly. I wonder why Milton would leave his home to attack Jack? I guess following Jack home? I'm glad you'll have Frank on the lookout to help tomorrow.

Say hello to BIGFRANK for us Carly and ask him why he has been ignoring BCAW!!! (just kidding)...have him take some food for Angel while he is going up there, just in case...

I agree with Bev....has someone been contacted about what happened today?

Oh thanks, Carly....I hope somebody really "scolded" them!!!

...and don't think of yourself as a peon...if it weren't for the "watchers", probably few biologists would even know what goes on at nests!!!

bev. · **Posted:** Mon May 10, 2010 7:40 pm

the biologists here depend on the watchers to help[ them. they are so busy here with so many things that they take their observers seriously.
