Na het verhaal van Petra over de Slechtvalk die gewond werd gevonden op Hawai moest ik gelijk aan het zorgenkind denken dus hierbij weer een up-date. Hij heeft nu de grootste voillaire ter beschikking waar hij redelijk in kan vliegen. Er wordt nog steeds aan zijn snavel geslepen om alles in orde te krijgen. Beide kanten groeien evenredig. 6 februari a.s. is de volgende slijpbeurt.

#08-0887 was brought into the hospital again on January 8 to further assess and dremmel the lower beak. Marks made on the beak more than a month and a half ago indicate that the whole beak is growing outwards, and there does appear to be less curvature than several months ago. Approximately 3mm were shaved off the distal aspect of the lower beak and 5mm taken off the tip of the upper beak. The lower beak currently fits nicely under the upper beak. The next dremmel date is set for February 6.
887 continues to fly around in one of the Center’s largest eagle flight pens.

NORFOLK – There’s a third egg in the eagles nest at Norfolk Botanical Garden.
Viewers of the WVEC.com Eagle Cam sounded the news shortly after midnight February 17, but the egg wasn't definitively seen until more then 36 hours later.
The first egg was laid on February 10. The second one came three days later.
This is the 4th year in row that this pair has had a three egg clutch, according to officials
Last year, two eggs were broken and the third egg hatched. That eaglet is being cared for at the Wildlife Center of Virginia after contracting Avian Pox.
