Animals

Generally an unmoderated forum for discussion of pretty much any topic. The focus however, is usually politics.

The ONE Bird Eagles Fear
Wow, I was guessing the peregrine falcon.

Of course my youtube feed is dotted with Jackie updates.
I was guessing something out of left field like ravens.

Why Don't Predators Hunt Sleeping Humans?

I always knew that "Night of the Grizzly" was a rare event, but I still wish I'd had this vid's info when I first moved to Montana.

Idiots are flooding the Raptor Center with emails and phone calls, and are even showing up at staff homes :roll: . This is not helping Jackie. :x

No. And sadly, she's not doing well.

... Sandy and Luna, Jackie and Shadow's eaglets, appear to have left the nest. FOBBV shared the news of this bittersweet milestone on Wednesday.

"It appears they have left the valley on their grand journey," FOBBV said. "We wish them both the best on their future adventures!"

With Sandy and Luna leaving the area and daddy duties apparently done, Jackie's mate, Shadow, is now on his "summer vacation." ...
:clap: Happy trails, kids.
... For those wondering if the eagle was "Jolene," a subadult female spotted with Shadow shortly after Jackie was transported to Ojai Raptor Center, FOBBV said ...
Jolene :lol:

Hey Shadow :naughty:

Jackie died :cry:

Good luck, Shadow. We hope you and a new mate return to the old nest.

Sad day, but not surprising. I'm glad the little ones have gone.
