At our house, here we have been reading about the chances of Oreo and Jet recognizing each other if they encounter one another in the wild. Over time we have been watching the differing diets being offered in the nests and here we are wondering if the change to a fish diet will alter Oreo's body odors to the point that he and Jet won't recognize each other. If anyone has better information on this we would love to learn more?

I've read that there's speculation that family members might recognize each other by their calls. I don't know what sort of research has been done on that subject. I do also know that juvies and subadults sometimes show up at nests on the off-season, and seem to be tolerated by the adults, at least for a while - though I can't remember any instances when there was actual proof that it was an offspring of the nest.

It would be nice to see Oreo and Jet reunited - but I can see why they would have to do it.

UPDATE FROM O.W.L.

Bev sent these photos of Oreo today and I am so excited to show them to everyone ! What a BEAUTIFUL eagle



and boy oh boy is he ready to go !



The next time we see Oreo he'll be flying free


Release date is this THURSDAY, JULY 21ST at approx. 1:00 p.m. at O.W.L.
Note from Karenb:
We are hoping that many of our members and viewers will attend to see Oreo fly to freedom. There will be a lunch following in Ladner at Sharkey's following Oreo's release. Please let me know if you will be attending so I can make the proper reservations at the pub.
My email addy is karen@hancockwildlife.org

He looks so beautiful, it makes me want to cry to see him flying. Now I have seen pictures of both Oreo and Jet flying today. What a great day! Thank you Bev and Jkr

Thank you Bev and jkr! Oreo is so handsome and he has that look in his eye that he's ready to fly with the wind. How exciting.

Thanks so much jkr and Bev for sharing these photos. Sundays are the best at the Delta 2 site Everything worked out for the best

7:43 I was just thinking how quiet the nest had become and then Jet startled me. She is still there loud and clear.

I think she heard about Oreo and is getting excited too.
