Beobachtungsdetails
The Bald Eagle nest includes a third chick, which is much smaller than the Bald Eagle chicks, with a smaller bill and white, not black plumage. It was initially considered being from a late hatched Bald Eagle egg, but eventually developed field marks of a Red-tailed Hawk chick. "The chick is getting a buffy wash on the breast and the beginning of a typical Red-tailed Hawk chicks breast band. Photos and recording were shared with some raptor biologist in Portal AZ and those who reviewed that information thought the chick looked and sounded like a Red-tailed Hawk." (T.E.) It was first observed on Tuesday, May 14: ebird.org/checklist/S174606582 First eBird report of a Bald Eagle chick: April 28, 2024: ebird.org/checklist/S170847107 UPDATE: In the late afternoon of June 8th the Red-tailed Hawk chick was found on the ground at the base of the nest tree. Pacific Wildlife Care picked it up. It will probably go to the Ojai Raptor Center to learn how to fly and hopefully hunt—best possible outcome under the circumstances. It stayed in the Bald Eagle nest for 25 days, from Tuesday, May 14 (first eBird report) to June 8 (last eBird report: ebird.org/checklist/S180522019
