My nephew in Alaska says that up there, bald eagles are like seagulls: huge flocks hanging around the docks. I suppose the allure here is due to their comparative rarity this far south - and in a desert mountain range, no less. Hearty birds they are!

Thanks for the TRUTH mountainart. If you look online for the SWFL eagles you will see them 50 feet from a 4 lane hwy with a sidewalk of eagle watchers between a house and church with horses grazing underneath.

of those homes are built, they will not care

worry about eagles nesting sites is silly. when we were living in montana, they made nests wherever they could see prey and didn't care about a human value like "peace" or "solitude". rhey would literally nest on the roof peaks of apt buildings in Bigfork, where they could pook for the rats running around the dumpsters. adults would teach the youngsters how to sit in the sun side so they could swoop down unseen. When we used to vacation in Kissimmee, there was a huge eagle nest on a light pole above the FunSopt rollercoaster, where they would swoop down to grab food the carnival goers dropped. They don't care, literally, about humans being loud. I am amused by all the people erroneously believing they need their peace and quiet, from the big scary humans. When you see them bum rushing shoppers coming out of the grocery store to steal their grocery bags, you realise they are just opportunistic scavengers that get a pass because they look "noble".

Yeah we had an outage about 3 am on red ant hill,
Just long enough to have to fumble for the flashlight, maybe 5 minutes

*** ALERT FROM BVES ***
BVES customers may experience two brief power outages on Wed 7/22 and Thu 7/23, each lasting less than 5 minutes, due to scheduled transmission maintenance.

Have a great day from all of us at SCM!

Article about the eagles and new 63-acre luxury homes plans. Logically I would assume that would case more competition for nesting space for our eagles. [Click Here]

Part 2:
Her condition remains critical, and this is still a very serious case. While the eagle remains alert and is eating, it is still too early to predict the outcome.

Wildlife medicine takes time, and some answers simply cannot be rushed. As we learn more about this patient's condition, we will continue to share meaningful updates with you.

Thank you for standing with us and for giving this eagle, and so many other wild patients, the chance to receive the expert care they deserve.

Update email received for Ojai Raptor Center: Part 1
We know many of you have been waiting for an update on Bald Eagle patient 26-519, and we're grateful for your patience and support. While we're still waiting on some important test results, we wanted to share what we know so far.

Initial bloodwork indicates that the eagle is experiencing severe anemia and inflammation affecting the kidneys. We are still working to determine the underlying cause, and additional bloodwork and diagnostic test results are pending.

In the meantime, our veterinary team has begun supportive treatment based on the information available, and we are grateful for the collaboration and expert guidance being offered by wildlife professionals from around the world.

Jilly, thanks for the update on Jackie.

Thank you, Jilly! Hopefully Jackie will continue to get stronger and heal soon.🙏

Wonderful news Jilly. TYVM.

The Ojai Raptor Center intended to post Jackie updates as they became available, but they report that Facebook has removed their update posts and restricted their account. It looks like their Instagram account has been blocked also. It seems the recent upsurge in their web traffic has triggered some sort of security measures.

Good maneuver Facebook!
