I've been worried. I'd scanned the treetops and listened for his rich, sweet whistle, but our northern oriole hadn't come home. All winter, I've missed his brilliant orange and black feathers, the hues that reminded the early settlers of the English Lord Baltimore's family colors. Where was our bird? And where was his uncomplaining spouse? For years, he has arrived in a flourish of color and song, wooed his darling, mated with her, and then gone off gallivanting. All alone, the little missus has woven a hanging nest at the tips of the huge white oak's branches, overhanging our house. She has laid her eggs and welcomed the babes with no help from Mr. Beautiful. When the family started peeping in hunger, he has always seemed to have a turn of heart, to become the doting, diligent papa eve...
HARRISBURG, Pa., April 15, 2011 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) and Pennsylvania Game Commission will conduct the annual peregrine falcon banding event from 12:30 p.m. to 2 p.m. on Tuesday, May 17 in the auditorium of the Rachel Carson State Office Building in Harrisburg. DEP invites teachers, non-formal educators and students to attend the event, where biologists will weigh and band the newly-hatched nestlings, called eyases. The event will also be streamed live on DEP's website.
rsteelhammer@wvgazette.com FAYETTEVILLE - All 24 peregrine falcon nestlings released in the New River Gorge National River this year have survived at least long enough to learn to fly and hunt in the 53-mile-long National Park Service preserve.
I've been a "Peeping Cam" for the last three weeks. One minute I am a foot away from a hummingbird's nest in Irvine, Calif., watching mama hummer feed her wee babies. Then, in a heartbeat, I am perched on the edge of a red-tailed hawk nest, staring as a mother tears strips of meat from a pigeon she has caught to feed her fluffy nestling. The next moment, I am peering right down into a bald eagle's nest in Delaware, spying on three enormous fledglings as they pump their wings, practicing for their first flights. And I have not left my office chair. Perhaps, like me, you find it hard to walk in the woods now. Perhaps you are house- or even bed-bound. Maybe you cannot afford a trip to New York City, much less to California. Or you have nestlings of your own, too many and too noisy to try t...
In "The Scarlet Letter" Nathaniel Hawthorne writes "...The American eagle, with outspread wings, a shield before her breast, and, if I recollect right, a bunch of intermingled thunderbolts and barbed arrows in each claw. With the customary infirmity of temper that characterizes this unhappy fowl she appears, by the fierceness of her beak and eye, and the general truculency of her attitude, to threaten mischief to the inoffensive community; and especially to warn all citizens, careful of their safety, against intruding on the premises which she overshadows with her wings. Nevertheless, vixenly as she looks, many people are seeking, at this very moment to shelter themselves under the wing of the federal eagle; imagining, I presume that her bosom has all the softness and snugness of an eid...

We, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service), announce a 12-month finding on a petition to list the Sonoran Desert Area population of bald eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus) as threatened or endangered under the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended (Act). After review of the best available scientific and commercial information, we find that listing the Sonoran Desert Area population of bald eagle does not qualify as a distinct population segment (DPS) and listing the Sonoran Desert Area population of bald eagle is not warranted at this time.

My two daughters and I had a "girls' weekend" at the beach recently. It was as different from all those family beach trips of the past as carrot sticks from rocky road ice cream. Sometimes the empty nest seems a bit lonely, but then again, life with grown "nestlings" is a lot easier. On this beach trip, I didn't have to sweep sand out the front door four or five times a day, because there were no barefoot kids tracking it into the cottage. Admittedly, only a crazy person would be going barefoot at the beach in February, but in childhood, my kids were capable of some seriously crazy things.
