Subject: Re: [NatureNS] report on first Eagle Watch day at Sheffield Mills
Hello everyone:
Here are five pictures that I took at the release of the rehabilitated eagle
Sunday morning. It took place at the field at the northernmost end of Middle
Dyke Road. There were lots of chicken carcasses there, but the eagles were
all sitting up in the trees, no doubt due to the vehicles in the middle of
the field that had the cage with the eagle.

The cage was then carried off the truck and into the field

There was a brief announcement explaining that the bird had been in
captivity since August. It was from the local area, very emancipated and had
lost all but two tail feathers when it was recovered. The door opened....

After a brief pause (maybe the eagle was not finished reading the newspaper
that was in its cage?) it flew out and glided right over the heads of many
of the people crossing Middle Dyke Road. It tried to land in a very bushy
tree, only to end up crashing.

The eagle was stuck like that for more than five minutes, without panicking.
It eventually sorted itself out, but flew even further into the trees,
banging off a few more branches. After most people had finally left I was
heading back to my car and spotted it again.

It seemed to be waiting for it to get a bit more quiet. Hopefully it will
make it out of the woods this time, even if it has to walk out!

PS: Jim already noted that the displays are different this year. The usual
"stuffed and mounted" birds are not there. I met John Belbin as I came in
and he told me that they were not available this year due to the pending
move of the Acadia biology department into their new building.

TOMORROW MORNING SOMETHING SPECIAL IS HAPPENING related to the Eagle Watch.
Hope Swinimer of Hope For Wildlife rehabilitation facility at Seaforth is
bringing a BALD EAGLE FOR RELEASE back into the wild. She and the eagle are
scheduled to be at the Community Hall at 9:30 a.m. and then drive to the
north end of Middle Dyke Road for the release at 10 a.m.
For anyone who is contemplating any eagle gawking tomorrow, be sure to be in
the area by mid-morning at the latest. Do some driving about to locate some
eagles, including areas like the Gaspereau Valley, Avonport, Hortonville,
and Grand Pre, plus Port Williams, Canning, Sheffield Mills, Kingsport, etc.
Then go to the Hall for a late breakfast (to 2 p.m.), or coffee and muffin,
plus displays, music, videos/DVD to view, etc.
