16.3.2021 CROW UPDATE - RESULTS OF YOUNG EAGLE PITCHE HOPE FROM CAPTIVA
The eagle was a female. Hope tissue of Hope has been found to contain markedly elevated levels of brodifacumma, as well as traces of difenacoum, both of which are second-generation anticoagulant rodenticides for rodent control. While we have the answers to the death of Hope, the autopsy has not been able to be performed on the younger eagle, Peace and the cause of her death remain unknown.
Anticoagulant rodenticides or rat poisons, which normally prevent blood clotting and cause an animal that has ingested a toxic amount to bleed. Rodents that consume venom often become disoriented or lethargic as they die and become easy prey for eagles, hawks, owls, and other predators that pass venom through the food chain. Unfortunately, it is not uncommon for healthy eagles to have a positive test for low levels of rodents that have not yet reached the point of toxicity and disease. Adults in the nest are likely to have chronic exposure to rodenticides from the same food sources, but currently do not suffer from any disease effects due to their larger body size compared to the affected young.

18.2. Transmission failure
3.2.- 11:08, 11: 52: 44-11: 53, 12:05 AM- A young eagle probably flew into the nest and the female and the male chased it away
That's right, a foreigner almost five years old.
Thank you Petro for your answer. I wasn't sure, I don't know much about eagles here, I had a hard time navigating. Have a nice evening 🙂
It's okay, Marcelo. To admit it, I don't have many eagles peeking here either, but Connie and Joe have a pure white tail, but not completely clean, they have a gray, dirty at the ends. The stranger was not yet completely washed into an adult dress, he still had brown spots on his tail.
2.1. - 04:16 Connie and Joe in the nest. They have a terrible wind here!

26.1. UPDATES TO THE DEATH OF ORLÍČKA HOPE CROW - Clinic for the Rehabilitation of Wildlife, Inc
Yesterday afternoon, a CROW employee removed the remains of Hope from the nest and brought them to #CROWClinic. Brief examinations and X-rays were performed by our veterinary team. Although we do not yet have definitive answers, we would like to share our findings and some observations from our wildlife rehabilitator, Katie M., during the removal process:
- A broken bloody feather was found on the right wing of Hope with a primary feather. No other signs of trauma were found. Katie watched the large amount of blood in the nest.
Katie got a piece of broken bloody feather from the nest and it's part of the remains. This was an item she had seen and taken from the nest just before the elevator descended.
- No fishing line was observed in Katie's nest or on the remains of Hope. When the remnants were removed, a lot of nesting material came with it, and what gave the line the look of a camera was actually a long, vinous piece of natural nesting material.
- Hope weighed 2.75 kilograms. We don't know if Hope was a man or a woman.
The remains were packaged and sent to the Southeast Wildlife Diseases Cooperative (SCWDS) at the University of Georgia for a complete autopsy, including rodenticide testing. While this situation appears to be similar to what happened last year in Southwest Florida's Eagle Cam, and we suspect that rodenticide poisoning may be the culprit again, we will not have definitive answers until we get the results of the necropsy. We will share the results as soon as they are received.

25.1. At 4:12: PM, they take Hope from the nest
25.1. AEF UPDATE
After consulting with the relevant agencies, we received approval for the removal of the dead eagle from the Captiva nest for autopsy. Due to the widespread impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, autopsy results may take longer than usual. After the autopsy, the results will be shared with the following public. To maintain the integrity of the educational purposes of wildlife programs, the stream will remain active during the search process. Spectator discretion is recommended.
24.1. 2021 AEF Update
We confirm that Hope, the remaining eagle in Captiva's nest, has been lost. Again, it is important to realize that these are wild nests that give us all a privileged view of the natural life of these majestic creatures. Nature, although beautiful, can also be brutal in its course. Our camera operators can refocus on some cameras over the next few days to provide a comfortable viewing experience, with some of our cameras being repaired. It is recommended at the discretion of the viewer.
Hi Petrus, we are very sorry with the eagles, what happened. Can I have a question? Can they still hunt eggs, or even next year? Thank you
Hi danuli, I'm also sorry, unfortunately it looks like they died after eating poison. When the eagle Peace died, they all ate part of his body. The day before Hope's death he was bleeding, apparently what happened last year in the nest of Harriet and M15 cub E14. For Hope, it could be some type of rupture. (cracks, ruptures). Hope grew new feathers. The new feather, which is actively growing, has a flowing supply of blood. It is seen in young birds, in adults when washing.
When the feathers burst and remain in the bird's skin, it essentially acts as an open water tap that allows blood to flow out of the bird's body. Feathers that remain untreated can be fatal in some cases. Anticoagulant rodenticides or rat poisons prevent normal blood clotting and cause the animal to die.
Conie and Joe won't have eggs this year. Usually eagles have a second clutch when they lose eggs or a very young chick.
Unfortunately, I don't know how old the eagles are, the nest is new to me as well, and I didn't find this information anywhere.
Bald eagles live in the wild for an average of 20-30 years, in captivity even more. Life expectancy is greatly influenced by location and food. One eagle bred in captivity in New York lived to be 50 years old.
Harriet and M15 are now in the nests. You can watch here: https://www.zoocam.info/orli-hnizdo-harriet-a-m15/
24.1. Oh yeah, I don't see any movement on camera 2, it seems that the eagle of hope doesn't even breathe 🙁
a very drastic look at the eating of his offspring
So I saw that they ate the fish that the male had brought there, then he tried to remove the corpse from the nest and pulled it up to the fish, which he then ate. Then for a moment the male went into a corpse, plucked feathers, at 9:52 the female arrived, so he stopped. She then pulled out the remaining piece of fish and ate it.
23.1.
More tremors could be seen on Hope's left leg. They continued for a few minutes, and Hope tried to stretch his leg because it must have been uncomfortable. Connie flew in and fed Hope from the remaining fish Joe had brought earlier.
Hope ate well. The tremors are neurological and are most likely caused by some kind of toxin that Naděje ate. Both parents and Hope consumed Peace's body part before Joe removed it from the nest. Adult eagles are better able to assimilate toxins due to their larger size and body weight than young. The tremor we see in Hope may be caused by rat poison and may last for several weeks, but will eventually disappear as the poison is excreted from the liver. Except for the tremors, Hope looks good, so let's hope there are no more complications.
20.1.- 10.57.AM Orlíček Hope up close
Good evening Marcelo, the operators of the cameras of the eagle Naděje often check, it is possible that he has a neurological disease. His legs have been shaking a lot these days. Maybe it won't be anything serious.
Good evening, Petro, today I was looking at the eagle, it seemed to me that he was not standing firmly on his feet. But I wasn't sure if it was normal, so I didn't ask. Thank you for your answer.
16.1.- 07.52.AM Feeding the Eagle of Hope 🙂
14.1. UPDATE
Sad news from Captiva - The younger eagle Peace died at night.
As early as 12.1, the wrong color of poop was seen during excretion. Peace precluded green-yellow poop. Color can indicate several things, one of which is dehydration. The difference in the size of the eagles was very noticeable. It is not just a question of gender, but it suggests that the volume of food consumed was much smaller for Mír. The amount of food available on the nest was plentiful - Peace in the last days was not interested in food and was lethargic.
12.1. 2021 Eagles have names - Hope (E1) and Peace (E2)!
These are beautiful names, so let them accompany them with life as long as possible
10.1. the little ones are already visible a lot, the parents are not visible
7.1. - 06:52 Breakfast in Florida, eagles grow beautifully 🙂
6.1. camera time 02.04.PM- both parents feed the young together. Eagles grow beautifully 🙂
