Hi Nancy. Thanks for your scaps and obs.

FYI
I was just catching up on the CHIL forum and apparently K24 has a fish hook in one of his talons. I haven't had a chance to read back to find out more about the details... Dr. Sharpe knows about it...

Hi Judy Lynn, Dr. Sharpe just zoomed in on it. I wonder what they'll do. Poor little guy.

Nancy... oh that looks horrible. I don't know what he will do... probably observe him for a while and hope that it works its way out. It has to be painful, don't you think?

Hi Judy Lynn, yes, it looks so painful. Here's what Dr. Sharpe is saying at the CHIL forum:

I'll be back on Catalina next Wednesday. We will evaluate again then, but it is not just a matter of walking up to the nest as it was at banding. All three birds would most likely jump with potential injuries to all of them. We also need to get permission from the Fish and Wildlife Service and the California Department of Fish and Game. I'm sure eagles get hooks in their feet a lot (I know one of the Seal Rocks adults has been caught and released with a hook in its foot) and they have evolved to deal with Fish spines in their feet, which can also have barbs like a fish hook.


1:15 At least he's eating albeit with Z-MeToo waiting right next to him. lol
