Evenbob Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 146 Posts: 25010 | It's been a stressful 24 hours for us fans. E9 left the nest too early yesterday and is now almost back, he's in the tree. I and thousands of others are really attached to this young eagle, look at him all day. Typical reaction from a fan: Woke up this morning... rushed to the computer to see if any new info on E was out yet. Found none ( what did I expect at 3 a.m. in the morning). Rushed to work, had no cell service and ended up staring at my watch wanting to get home to hear about E. I just got home and low and behold my fair Lady Hawk is on the ball! Thank you so much for this, I just knew little E was a survivor! Stay strong brave one! If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

Probably a bit into UV. Birds are mostly tetrachromatic. Most mammals are dichromatic, but humans are trichromatic (look it up). Overall birds of prey have the best vision known as regards resolution and color perception. Donald Trump is a one-term LOSER |

He doesn't have the wing strength to fly very high, he needs his parents to survive. 25,000 anxious fans were watching his return. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

Evenbob Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 146 Posts: 25010 | The amazing return of E9 to the nest. They make constant talk to each other, they are all glad he's back. He's too young to hunt. The comments speak to all the anxiety we were feeling since yesterday. People all over world watch this little guy, he's our eagle. Bald eagles have been here at least a couple million years. Many Native Americans considered the bird sacred. It's on our money, our seals, and is woven into the carpet of the Oval Office. It's the most noble bird we have. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |
