--Boundary_(ID_DqojcTfF/9S8RgLAmDVX/A) Content-type: text/plain; CHARSET=US-ASCII; delsp=yes; format=flowed Content-transfer-encoding: 7BIT Last night on the late TV News, there was an item about an eaglet in trouble in British Columbia in a nest that has a nest-camera for all to see -- they interviewed David Hancock and I think it was on Hornby Island off the east side of Vancouver Island? But I haven't tried to access the URL or the site itself. Hancock said he and others were trying to arranged for a crane for the rescue mission -- one of three eaglets has its feet tangled in fish netting on the nest rim, and it appeared that the other two eaglets were bigger and no doubt out-competing the little one for food? Setting up a heavy crane to get someone up to the nest is problematic because of soggy ground (that seems to be a problem right across Canada, eh?). Can anyone find it and let us know, please? Thanks in advance.
