	Eaglet recovers from bee stings
		The 27-week-old eaglet joins Arizona's small bald-eagle population, which includes 39 breeding pairs that are watched closely by the state agency and a network of volunteers.
		Her survival is due in part to the volunteers who found her after the bee attack and to a wildlife rehabilitation group in Scottsdale that nursed her back to health and taught her how to be an eagle.
		In July, Liberty trainers moved the eaglet to an outdoor training pen, where she was taught to fly first and then to hunt and kill food.

	American Bald Eagle - Nesting & Young (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
		Eaglets break through the shell by using their egg tooth, a pointed bump on the top of the beak.
		While parents hunt almost continuous to feed them, back at the nest the eaglets are beginning to stretch their wings in response to gusts of wind and may even be lifted off their feet for short periods.
		At this time, eaglets are about the same size and weight as the parents (10 to 14 pounds, between 30 and 37 inches in height).

	Sun.Star Davao - 13th eaglet hatched
		The eaglet weighed 153 grams and is the 2nd heaviest eaglet hatched in captivity.
		The eaglet is the first successful hatching of the natural pair of male eagle Tsai and female eagle Princess Maasim through natural painting techniques.
		PEF's 13th eaglet may be a source of inspiration for all of us, but their existence will continue to be endangered by massive forest destruction and illegal trade.

	Tampabay: Eaglet's initial flight is a fright
		Eaglets throughout Pinellas County, 18 of them north of Ulmerton Road, have fledged or are on the brink of that first flight.
		Though the Grey Oaks eaglet was removed to be checked out before it was returned to the nesting area, Peacock said he generally does not advise taking eagles away from their parents.
		He said if the eaglet had been left alone, its parents would have let it recover from the trauma of flight for a while, then they would have brought it food and coaxed it up off the ground for the night.

		The fate of the heralded eaglet that hatched last spring at Lake Hemet is a mystery.
		Two eaglets drew crowds of onlookers and considerable media attention when they were fed by their parents and learned to hunt.
		Hopefully, the eaglet simply is shy or successfully fledged from the nest and flew away.

	Fallen eaglet gets rescue, rehab and return to the wild (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
		PHOENIX - A rescued eaglet is back in the wild today, thanks to the efforts of Arizona Game and Fish Department biologists, volunteers at Liberty Wildlife Rehabilitation in Scottsdale, and two vigilant eagle nest watchers who've been camping out to protect its nest.
		They called in biologists for a rescue, and when the crew arrived, they found the eaglet to be dehydrated and undernourished.
		The eaglet has been doing much better, since it was taken to the rehabilitation center in Scottsdale.

	The Brunswick News
		The eaglet is the first of its kind to be born in captivity in Georgia in at least 12 years, according to the operators of the sanctuary, which is a non-profit organization dedicated to rehabilitating injured birds and educating the community about birds.
		The six grown eagles and single eaglet at the sanctuary belong to the state, but since there is no state-run bird rehabilitation facility on the coast, the injured adult birds are being cared for at the sanctuary.
		Minor has never released an eaglet into the wild, but she is confident, based on past experiences with other birds, that the eaglet will survive and will come back to the site for occasional feedings.

	Fallen eaglet back in good health
		A dehydrated eaglet that made a last-ditch flight toward water May 12 has been rescued, nursed back to health and repatriated to its cliffside nest on the Verde River near Clarkdale.
		The male baby, the 48th eaglet to be rescued by an Arizona Game and Fish Department program since 1978, represents a strong season for the department's Arizona Bald Eagle Management Program.
		The eaglet that nearly dived to its doom was driven by high temperatures.

	Columbus Zoo and Aquarium
		On Tuesday, May 17, an eaglet that hatched on April 18 was removed from the nest of Columbus Zoo bald eagles, Barbara and George, to begin its journey to join the wild population of bald eagles.
		The eaglet will be placed in a nest with a bonded pair at Douglas Lake, located between Knoxville and Gaitlinburg, until it is eight weeks old then it will be moved to a hacking tower.
		Once the eaglet reaches 12 to 14 weeks of age and has learned to fly, the bird will be released into the mountains of Tennessee.

	Eagle Cam Web Log: Good Luck, Spunky Eaglet
		Once the eaglets were calm, he quickly wrapped the third eaglet up so he wouldn't get hurt on the trip down the tree and then banded the other eaglets.
		When the eaglets in the hacking tower approach the age where they are ready to fledge, the bars are removed from the front of the box and they depart on their own time schedule.
		Since we announced the news that the third eaglet would be going to Vermont, we've naturally had cam watchers write in to say that they will miss the eaglet -- as we all will -- and that they wonder about the need to remove an eaglet from its home.

	Rescued eaglet returned to the wild (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
		The 27-week-old bald eagle is one of two eaglets rescued by Arizona Game and Fish Department biologists back in May, after an Africanized bee attack in the Bartlett Dam area of the Verde River, southeast of Cave Creek.
		The other eaglet actually prompted the bee attack by accident, while trying to learn how to fly on a branch that contained a beehive.
		The eaglet was set free in the Horseshoe Dam area, northwest of Cave Creek, and is expected to thrive, thanks to her training while in captivity.

		An eaglet taken last week from its nest near Orlando Sanford International Airport in Sanford settled in well Thursday in a new foster nest in east Seminole County.
		Thursday morning, the Sanford eaglet -- weighing 81/2 pounds and with an estimated wingspan of 6 feet -- had breakfast of raw mullet served by tongs.
		Audubon's original plan was to remove the eaglet already in the nest, put a band around its leg for tracking, then return it, along with the transplanted eagle.

	Eagle & Dove; Harvest Healing
		The following morning, shortly after the main work parties left for their various fields, Manana’s eaglet was taken carefully from her wagon by some of the remaining gypsies, and moved to a provision wagon, that had been previously prepared for it.
		Shortly after the eaglet had been moved into the wagon, the bird had seemed to weaken rapidly, Manana suspected it was a form of shock, and only because she had constantly comforted it, combined with herbs that formed a sleeping draught, she was able to keep it mostly unconscious and maintain the eaglets strength.
		She had constantly monitored the mending, but until the eaglet was free to move the bones, she could not be sure how successful her healing had been.

	The Nature Conservancy in Illinois - Bald Eagle Hatched at The Nature Conservancy’s Emiquon Preserve
		Staff members and volunteers at Emiquon had been monitoring an eagle nest found high in a cottonwood tree near a tributary of the Illinois River for several weeks but observed only a pair of bald eagles tending the nest.
		Blodgett said bald eagles previously have constructed nests at Emiquon including a pair that built a nest on the same branch of another tree five years in a row only to have each nest destroyed by wind.
		Blodgett said he is certain that Emiquon will have additional success stories as it is transformed from cropland to a mosaic of backwater lakes, shallow-water wetlands, wet prairie, savanna and bottomland hardwood forest.

	Agencies study the effect of pollution on Maine's eagles - Boston.com
		Getting an eaglet out of a tall tree as part of a survey of the effects of pollution on eagles is no easy task.
		DeSorbo and Niven, who're from the BioDiversity Research Institute, have to be careful to time their visits when the eagles are small enough to be handled and too young to fly.
		The eaglet found in the 75-foot tree appeared healthy as he tried to bite Niven, Mierzykowski and a camera lens.

	Eagle Cam Web Log 2006: Flight Mechanics
		Once the eaglet fledges, it will be gone from the nest for a little while, so we're looking for a sustained period where only one eaglet is visible, or we're looking for a clear shot of the eaglet leaving or returning to the nest.
		Once the eaglets fledge, they will continue to use the nest as home base for four or five weeks until they become independent.
		If you remember, we mentioned in a previous log that when the eaglets are flapping around the nest and their feet get off the nest floor, the lift is created by a strong downstroke.

	The Bald Eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
		Until bald eagles reach maturity at around four to six years of age, their head feathers are dark brown, not white, and the young are often mistaken for golden eagles for this reason (juvenile bald eagles do have some white feathers, but they are located below the wings).
		Eaglets are born with open eyes and with some fuzzy gray down already covering their bodies (see illustration).
		When only eight weeks old, the eaglets were placed on artificial towers and fed by a human the eaglets never saw (to prevent them from imprinting on humans).

		A) This eaglet is the 50th bird to be released/produced on the northern Channel Islands since the reintroduction project started in 2002 (the very first bird being A-00).
		The bluff near the nest site is only about 5 m tall and may be the best spot for the eaglet to take its first flight because otherwise it would need to take off from flat ground, which is a bit harder.

	The Eaglet in Uniform
		Napoleon II, often referred to as the Eaglet (l’Aiglon), was born in 1811 and was only three years old when he was separated from his father.
		The Eaglet, or Francis as we shall call him (also Francois or Franz), was raised by a staff of military tutors under the guardianship of his grandfather the Emperor Francis I; his mother taking up residence in Parma, Italy, living with and following Napoleon’s death, marrying Count von Neipperg.
		Count Dietrichstein recommended the Eaglet be given a grenadier battalion permanently garrisoned in Vienna (not only for health reasons, but since any foreign postings could compromise the Prince in the eyes of France).

		Dan Burleson, special agent with the wildlife service in St. Peters, said his agency was aware of the nest and that he had driven by it, but it was not being monitored actively by wildlife service biologists.
		He said he works as a law enforcement officer for the agency but doesn't believe anybody did anything illegal in connection with the nest or the eaglet.
